Given what I have been observing since my comeback (and also considering my limitations, so I am not fully blaming the game engine), I am sometimes lost on what to or or how to approach certain matches; sometimes I am clueless or in severe doubts because the engine makes flows in the other direction instead of the direction you worked on and set up. The game engine does not respond as expected and things look different from how it worked way back. I do not even feel in control of team like a manager should be, but I feel more like a supporter watching my team play in the stadium; I may instruct to do this, I may shout to do that, but the players do not seem to hear or care but they play like the engine planned. I am really struggling to find the football logic this engine uses. Maybe Lian should start sending feedback concerning this area of the game, or maybe they already know about it but it was intended to be like this for whatever reasons, but if so, this is poor for a football management game as you would expect to be more in control of your team and have authority on them during matches. I sometimes feel it is more like roulette now, where you try cover most numbers on the chart, hoping that the ball will stop on one of them after the roulette is spun; it seems there is no control or any connection between you and the ball once it is spun.
