2 points-

1) There are no guidelines no specific rules nothing as to how much control or influence does a manager has on its team.
2) Then come troll results against weak teams that make us all the more suspicious about whether i have any control or not? scripted?
3) The real lack here is almost zero emphasis on different styles of football i mean tactics. Lets make TE a bit real. Its a common denominator in FIFA and PES - you can impose your playing style in real-time against online managers. But in TE there is nothing like that. If you ever played FIFA or PES you'll understand what I mean. like controlling the players run, player support, defense line etc. I love that. That is managerial not farming fcuking 25 greens. Farming is clerical not managerial; isn't it??

If devs can tell us how we can control our team's performances then we would be at a better satisfying place where we could enjoy a well-thought game. ( no comments on implementation and how it unfurled )

At least some real football tactics like - tiki taka, counter attack, high pressing, catennaccio etc - how can these be implemented ? ( of course want to see in animations too ). Then it would be easier to cope with randomness.
