Is the Tactical Part of Top Eleven 2019 Broken?

[nikolgiorgos]

Tactical- logical part, never existed xD

I don't agree with that. The old times it was there, playing some role.
Things have broken in some stages.
- The first was when they changed the team's display from vertical to horizontal, adding those boxes which supposed that replaced the arrows.
Nobody understood how that boxes worked.
- The second was when the mutants turned upside-down the logic of tactics/quality/stats
- The third was when they put a limit to scores vs abandoned/weak/bot teams. After that in many games a manager feels like he 's just watching a game like a supporter without any coaching powers. The abandoned/weak/bot teams could get any possible results. The advantage of the present vs an absent for a match manager seems that lost.
- The last one was when they tweak again the engine so to ignore the high skills of mutants or semi-mutants. Sometimes works, sometimes not but the thing is that the connection between skills and gameplay have lost.

Also I want to add that the old times a team with a ST in GK position and all the others oop was extremely difficult to win a game vs a normal team, even with low q . The max was a draw. This is happening more often, already few times in some of my teams which are trying to remain in the same lv league.

so much of the game no longer makes sense. seems to be a real lack of emphasis on the amount of effort u put in. Luck seems to be the biggest influence nowdays. Far too many unreal results. your team is trained to perfection/morrale high, 15% better than the other team, you support as do your manager friends, nobodty for the opposition,...to many results go against you in that circumstane.

Arrows does not work, they give us arrows back again just because most of the managers wanted arrows back, but they are only cosmetic. If you want your player to play more in attack you should move them up on the field, but their is a trick with wingers AMR/L. If you put wingers more than half of their field, then they start playing on center as a MCs, which is very stupid. Same with DR/L, so if you play formation 4-4-2 (flat) and move your DR/L to much forward the game will see new formation 2-2-4-2. Same thing with V-style if you move AMR/L to much forward the game will see new formation 4-1-2-3 but your AMR/L shall not play as STs but more like MCs (very stupid).

Yeah but I want a player to be at position A without the ball (defensive support) but at position B when the team in possession (offensive support), and this can be done only by arrows (not with whole team mentality because then all players will move up or down or focus more on attack or defense), but they do nothing when I change them during a match. I am like wtf when I see the next highlights with the player still at the same position, I told you to go there when we have the ball and you are still here doing nothing. The same when a player was suppose to drop to defence to provide support when opponent has the ball, but opponent is far in his defensive zone, doing one-twos but he is still up and he does not even move.

If your team is playing good all the time, team form shall start droping down and you shall lose eventually. So what to do, I preffer losing in group stage of CL or in the Cup games with not so much diference. Both of my quadra seasons were not so good ass those seasons where I was winning almost every game but lost every final or semifinals.

I have noticed that last season, clean sheets on cup and superleague but lost the finals, however i have an impossible league and lost many games so that kind of contradicts your reasoning!

Another thing I noticed is the ratings of players drop to red suddenly, not once but many times, despite the team is winning and continuing to score goals. The feedback from the engine is misleading.

Well maybe tactics arent broken but screen animation is broken. For example i had mr with up arrow and seen that opponent ml is playing very good (had goal and good rating) than later i gave down arrow to my mr and than i saw in comments that my mr is blocking opponent's ml. So it's works but in other hand i didnt see any changes in live animation. So i think we shouldnt rely on live animation but pay more attention to comments during the match but the problem is that those comments are very rare .
Again like mentality option. It writes that attacking mentality gives more opportunities to attack but in live animation it's only show where your team start your attacks - defensive from the back, attacking - long ball to the strikers. So it;s stupid - i want play attacking but i want that my team start to build attacks from the back and not from the my strikers but in this game it isn't that way.

Yeah, you saw an area that needed more defensive protection, you put a defensive arrow, the feedback should be that the player responsible for this zone go provide more defensive contribution. The same should apply for when you see that your team needs support in attacking an area, you instruct a deeper lying player to move up there with an offensive arrow, but like I said the feedback from animations is not as expected. Maybe you are right that animations are broken, or maybe both animations and the tactical instructions are broken to some extent, but whatever is wrong Nordeus should be looking into it and fix.

If you turn off 2D animation, then you shall have more (only) comments. If that is what you want.
