Nordeus has changed game-engine so counterformations dont work?

[gkassimis]

I know what kind of frustration you may have....
But who knows what the sollution for this matter may be.
Did it happend just this season?

it's happening every season the last week and not only to me but to many people. there are many complains. this season hasn't started yet.

i am sure it will happen towards the end, it always does. many league leaders will lose game miraculously so that the league will become more even and people will feel a need to buy tokens and use them to make the team better for the end of the league.

I don't know if Nordeus has changed the engine but for sure something is different.

In my league there are 2-3 teams with 21 to 24 quality that keep on winning all their matches.
My team is 34 quality and I have the same chanches to win 8-0, to draw or to lose 0-1.

Yesterday, in cup quarter-finals, I lined up a defense made by 4 players 6* and one 7*, all with SA.
The mentality was defensive and I had no red arrows.
And, as often happens, I conceded a gol (to a 4* MC).

During the last season I used to win all matches with 4-5 gol margin.

It seems the "random factor" has been increased.

You're not supposed to use counter formations against much inferior teams. What's the point of countering a formation you can already beat without countering? As what someone said on here, you only counter a formation if you feel you cannot control the game. Mainly used against teams who are better or close in quality.

Tip of the day: If you are playing against a much inferior team, use your own formation. You'll get better results.

he is right...You always have to rely on your own strengh and formation...
I always play like this:

-----------ST-----------
AML----------------AMR
-------MC-----MC------
----------DMC----------
DL-----DC-----DC-----DR
-----------GK-----------

OR when I need an extra offensive punch I'll remove the DMC and add a AMC:

-----------ST-----------
AML------AMC------AMR
-------MC-----MC------
DL-----DC-----DC-----DR
-----------GK-----------

And during the match I will make adjustments if I feel necessary.
Like removing a DC and adding a ST if the opponent is playing with one striker

4-1-2-2-1 and 4-2-2-2 are the only ones I use and I wont change them just because I saw a team that am afraid of and use a counter formation.

Same, the only difference is I remove DMC and make it ST.

I only use the DMC when opponent is using an AMC, if not I'll remove the DMC for a AMC or ST.
