Subject: »[info] Dev Diary #76: Nothing is Certain Except Taxes

Ahh guys guys...u never see teams in real life playing high in the field?
Then u must see more football games :p
The problem in real life is,that game is tiring and teams can't playing for a long time.(and risky)
--------------------
I say no to 6 defs,coz if we use them in our teams we loose week training,i think.
So if the rules of the game say no to some tactics and we win with those then
something is wrong with the game.
I dont mind 6 defs or 4 attackers,i like to play free.

I like it

it could be something like instructions on FIFA or PES... like:

creative instruction: long ball or build up play
defensive style: pressing or balanced

or you could set individual instructions like:
defensive style: stick in your position or cover center, ...
and so on

To be honest here, formations and individual orders should never be limited, if someone is successful with 10 DEF then it should be granted NOT limited. It's what it is about ''TACTICS'' why being limited to 3-5-2, 3-4-3, 4-4-2, 4-4-3, 4-5-1, 5-3-2, 5-2-3, etc.. if someone wants 3-6-1, 2-5-3, 4-2-4 what's the issue with it?
Again it would be more pleasant to beat someone with something new and there's nothing wrong with it. And of course training should be adjusted to these new tactic options ...

adaca used 9 MID orders with Scotland and it worked pretty well.

And of course training should be adjusted to these new tactic options ...

I disagree with this point. The rest, I follow you!
But when the new training system kicks in, there's no need to adjust.
You can perfectly train up to 4 different positions and you can allready train 10 mids or defenders.

Ahh...I see now. You want to adjust the training so there's no training loss! +1 for that.
But...still the limitations of 2 GK, 10 DEF, 10 MID and 6 ATT

Id love to try that if not for the loss of training :/

Yes, i meant like you play with 9 DEFS and 1 ATT and they receive training according to their ''DEF individual order'' as they still played on the field.

a funny bug according to the international friendly page Portugal and Chile played 3 different games this week so i wonder which is the true result

It's not a funny display bug. They actually played 3 games at the same time :D
Also it was reported, when few weeks ago some teams played 2 matches at the same time, but meh.

that could explain the performance issues with servers .....

its cool, we can compare closely the M.E engine for 3 same games :-)

First, global stats are almost similar. Not random. Second, with the same players (no red cards, no injuries, same players, same tactic) player scoring distribution is really different. Random.

+1 that's what I was going to analyze :)
But needs to be fixed ASAP could disappoint lots of users and most likely affects servers and engine of the game to freak out

that has been always like that, I remember some arcades matchs vs same team we had played 3 times in a week with 3 differents results.

That does not make it right though...
