The new formation screen is a nightmare . At least when you play from your phone , which I always do .
Take a good look at the following situation . I want to set up a 4-2-2 formation , which is exactlly what my next opponent uses.
Take a look at the next picture : This is how my formation look from my formation screen . After that I went to see how the formation look at the preview match . Here is how it looks : My formations shows 2-2-2-4 ! and my opponent formation shows 4-2-2-2 , altough when you compare the pictures they look the same . My players are placed in the middle of the boxes , not in front , this should show as a 4-2-2-2 also . I have tried to move them bit by bit but in almost all the cases the result is the same . Another important thing is that altough they say the formation autosaves , you can not see the actual results of your changes in the preview match unless you end the application and you re enter the game.
Now imagine you are playing from your phone and want to make a change in your team while you are playing live ! The game will be over before I will make the change that I want or I will make a wrong change ...
If the DML / DMR positions have been removed then why my formation shows as 2-2-2-4 ? And why my AML and AMR are perceived as ST ? I've placed them in the middle of the box .
