This isnt about formation in the real world. This is about how a game engine simulates a game between 2 formations, whatever they are. the NGE doesnt give a **** if its illegal or weak. That is the job of the manager. Playing 3W at the back vs that formation up the middle is just ridiculous. 1DC getting overrun in all simulations for sure, which is why he lost. changing to 4-4-2 doesnt make a lick of difference since the game was simulated before the commentary, which is why he could not make a comeback no matter what changes he made.
Yesterday i was 1-0 down at halftime playing 4 at the back. At halftime i substituted one of the 2 DC's with a striker playing 3W-4N diamond-3 ST. Guess what, i turned it around winning it 2-1. Any explanation? Why wasn't my lone DC overran by his strikers?
@ Mister Q Of course not. But people said it was wrong to play DL-DC-DR and that's the reason he lost the final. All i wanted to say is, formation dont matter unless you use an illegal one.
