NEW FORMATION question

[adifairus]

Hey Everyone.

It does matter where a player is situated in a certain zone on the pitch. With the new fluid formations and how the pitch is segmented, the engine now takes into consideration how a player's position was predesignated when conducting its calculations. Both for your players and those of the opponent. And its not just the Ball Possession that's being increased/decreased based on where each player is positioned.

Relative to the centre of the zone - Positioning your player Back / Forward / Left side / Right side / In-between each direction, will make the player be considered by the engine as being present in that particular part of the zone. Naturally this can offer you a tactical advantage over you opponent and vice versa.


I'm personally still trying out the new functionality now that the update is live. What I'm getting is mostly expected results from my player repositioning during LMs. And another thing I'm noticing is how the guys were able to make the engine really responsive to changes that are being made. Least for me the pace of the game changes quickly and accordingly. (Well sometimes my choice of formation backfires at me... >.>)


Anyway, I just wanted to say that we're going to keep improving on the simulation. The update to the engine is still young and its not over.

EDIT: Btw, how is everyone else feeling their live matches? Are you trying out things to learn the curves?

i like this new fluid formation style which we can have more freedom to orders the players rather than just UP/DOWN arrow as in previous.

BUT, the opponent already know what we are trying to do based on where we put the players before the match start because they can see my fluid formation in match preview and also the shadow of opponent player in squad screen.

so, my tactical not a secret anymore before the match start.

its not normal, you actually should can only know the opponent fluid formation by observing the players during the match only

I suggest, the opponent only can see my fluid formation when the match start during live match.

before the match, they only know the default assigned position (center location) of every assigned position.
