    I can't use my usual 4-5-1V

    They've made the 4-4-2 too strong now.

    Grats on your win!
    This is where you need to expand on your comment.

    I agree that the game engine decides the game without the input of the managers during the game. The game engine takes all the info of the formations and players before the game starts, hence the lockdown with a few minutes to go, and simulates the game and then creates the commentary which can be manipulated depending on what the manager does during the game presenation.

    So formations are still relevant, it just doesnt matter if you change it after the game starts.

    And this is where i disagree.

    I've played matches where i've struggled for 60 mins, then changed/tweaked my formation/tactics - and ended up winning 4-0 in the last 20 minutes.
    And yes sure, i COULD have won 4-0 no matter what, i'm not arguing about that. But on several occations i've noticed that switching things around a little (or alot...) has changed the match and has been very good for my team. Last one i remember was a game i was struggling against a pretty weak team in my league who was playing 4-4-2 classic. I eventually switched to Narrow Dia (you know - the one the whiners say doesn't work anymore since they probably lost ONE game trying it. Newsflash: playing any "counter formation" isn't an "I-Win" button either......), and got a comfortable win in the end.

    sure, the possession bar/meter during the game coupled with the improving commentary gave you the impression that your changes actually did something positive. You go on believing that you actually did something. That is your right. You switched your formation and the possession bar changed accordingly. That does nothing to change the results that were determined beforehand. Nice try though.
