[Announcement] Unrealistic Formations Cannot Be Saved/Applied - 22nd March

Hi Managers,

With today’s release, we’re eliminating the capability to save or use unrealistic formations in Top Eleven.

On the squad screen, any time a red “!” box appears on the left side, you will not be able to save the formation or apply it in Live Match. Your formation will revert back to your previously used qualifying formation if you leave the screen without first saving.

A yellow “!” indicates that your formation could use some tweaking, but you’ll still be able to save and use these formations. These include such scenarios as playing without a deeper-lying midfielder (DMC/MC), or playing without any player on the wings.

Should a “!” box appear on the left, tap on the box to read a tooltip to find out what you’ll need to fix in order to improve your formation.

The rules used to determine unrealistic formations and when red “!” boxes show is the same as it was before; this change only affects the ability to save or apply them.

I remember that event, Playing with ghost teams

Playing with 2 DCs was common back then actually. 2-3-5 formations, W-Ms, lot's of interesting stuff. Things have changed quite a bit, but playing with 2 DCs is still allowed. :)

This change looks good indeed. But in other words, it also means that the game engine is so bad that it allows silly teams to win, no matter how ridiculous their tactics are. The only solution Nordeus found was to prevent them from entering the match and not to make them pay the price on the pitch, which is what you would expect from a decent game of football management.

Sorry if I 'm repeating again but the problem started with asso games and top100 list.
It's people there who are trying to keep their players (high quality -mutants) so they put whatever, just to preserve them.
They will find some other way.

Question.

If I'm 1-0 down with ten minutes to go in the cup final and I push all my outfield players to MC, AM and S, I'm going to get a red exclamation mark, if I push the tick box to save this formation will it work or will it revert to the previous formation?

During the game you cannot use save/load option.

Is this a part of a move against tanking ? or will be only this ? Is ok against strange formations but there are other ways to tank ( like using low star players or using wrong player in gk position)

Yeah that will happen. It's not possible to play with less than 2 defenders and at least 1 DC or DMC.

For example why 4-4-2 with 2 dmc not mc has yellow mark? Or 4-2(dmc)-0-3(amc)-1 has red mark? It's real formations but is mentioned as not eligible here

thanks, it was really well thought out, but it was better if you did it at the beginning of the season. my opponents won against the illegal line-up, I'm still not encountered with the illegal lineup, will be unfair.

I can still tank
To catch thieves we need to think like one
( Bollywood drama hahahahahaha )

This clearly against tanking..

The next step Nordeus should take forbidden out of position with the red mark.. like for example GK in ST position

Can we please go back to being able to watch videos from daily reset time and scrap the 24 hr wait rule. Timing this daily is becoming tedious and painful.

Find the motive and you 'll find the killer.
That's another motto I prefer for this case.
Find why people tanking and you 'll find the solution :o

How about the message I've sent you, Sausy ? About the suggestions of the 2 persons and game engine ?
When ?

Or, you could just wait past the 24-hour mark once, and then watch the videos at the daily reset time. It would only delay watching them, you would not lose any videos. For example, my daily reset is in the evening (about 7:00 pm). If I have been watching videos in the morning, I would just not watch them tomorrow morning, let the 24-hour mark pass, and watch them that evening after reset. Problem solved.

No , it creeps every day so day on day it gets later. If I could say I will watch the videos at say 4pm every day that would be great but that isnt what happens at the moment Today I start watching at 4pm , finish at 5 pm , tomorrow I cant start watching till 5pm and so on it goes. As an example today the game resets at 1.30pm (same every day in my time zone) but I wont be seeing the videos renewed till 7.30pm so already I am 6 hours through the 24 hour clock.

There has been time creep on the t11 servers since the beginning. Actually, there has been less so this season, but it’s still a bit ceepy ...

yep, atm i play with 2dc + dr and dl without dmc but with 2 mc´s, one of them has def mentality, it is a good for atacking needs when you catching first leg lose for example, especialy if you put atacking mentality in dr/dl players
