Is HARD ATTACKING good in any occasion or just a guarantee you will concede more!!!

The thing is in these moments of desperation the only thing you can do is hope for a goal so screw it and you play Hard Attacking. I can tell you every time I decide to play it, my match gets more miserable. It is guaranteed you will concede a goal or two. So what is the point, what does it do that is so different from normal attacking. There is no correlation between playing hard attacking and scoring more goals or anything if you are destined you can score 8 goals playing hard defending.

Hard attacking can work but it's a very risky tactic.

What I think is happening (others i'm sure will disagree with my theory, but can't hurt bringing it up for discussion), is there are neutral orders and extreme orders. Extreme orders are more likely to get you a win as a 30% underdog or a loss as a 30% favorite, or create huge margins of victory/defeat. A neutral setup is balanced, so less likely to get crazy scorelines but helps keep the troll at bay. A more extreme setup, like hard attacking will provide more strategies by which an opponent can counter your system, but if you matchup well, i'll be an easy and convincing win more often.
