Do in-game orders have any effect?

[vad]

Did anybody ever notice any change in players' playstyle when in the middle of the game you make any change in "orders", such as change their mentality to "hard attacking", or marking to man-on-man, or pressure? I never did. One would think that if I go from, say, hard defending to hard attacking, I should see at least some attempts to put together an attack.

No, it's useless.

I think that it's better to not see the matches. I get better results when I dont see them than when I see.

In game order is a skill. Practicing yourself is important for learning this.

If you attend your match but do not properly response during the match, this may harm the result. So I don't object those who choose not attending matches.

Q:Yes/No ?
A:Yes.

Not sure if you really tought it's a No or you were just messing around..

[nikolgiorgos]

yes, but this isn't basketball.
You can't change orders every 1-2 minutes. the program needs time to perform (and to see the results).
Also, don't expect to make the game upside down. the effect can be some more % to whatever (attack-defense-tackling ...)
