Counter Formations Less Effective Now?

Sorry that is not all.

Not only does higher levels have better managers, lower teams are much closer in ability.

For example: 105q team versus 100q will have a tougher time than 25q team versus 20q. In the first scenario the first team is just 5% stronger. In the second scenario it is 25% stronger. this difference gets smaller every season.

This means all of the levers a manager can pull such as Possession/Strategy/win bonus etc etc mean less at higher levels. So these 'harder to beat' teams are actually much closer in natural ability than they used to be. These teams are not a bunch of clowns who will roll over and gladly take a beating.

The stars are 'vanity symbols'.

That first team looks better than 3 stars. But in any case 3 star team isn't half the quality of a 6 star team it is much closer than that.

Look at the performance of your goal keepers. Clearly made some errors and so did your DMC.

He knows all this.

This is not what he was commenting on. I have played soccer, watched countless hours of it, and I have played this game plenty enough to notice when things change, and in regards to the formations he mentioned, there does seem to be different results than expected for me. Maybe you don't have this opinion, that's ok. But that's what this thread is about. Please refrain from insulting other users of this Forum henceforth.

THIS.

All i wanted was for other people with the same experiences to share them with me here, not for someone to start pointing out things we already know, and to imply the reason for what feels like changes to the game engine, to be down to us being 'inferior' managers and being 'found out'.

Thankyou, now maybe we can get back on topic?

I've got a game coming up against a 4-4-2 tomorrow, joint top of the league with me too, slightly less average quality, I'll let you all know how it goes.
