5 def is mostly an habit to covers wings, i dont think it s cause by the MID order and how midfields play.

Under 21, mid/wingers are less efficient and 4 def for top youngs is a common setup! Correct if im a wrong, but even in A (not U21) i see in last editions two World Cup Finalist playing 4 def line.

5 def is maybe too much common but logically 5 def is more "secure"... That's a strategy choice.
We can play 4 def with success too, and cover the wings by playing very low def line.
We can play 5-4-1 too, no need to sacrifice a mid, but many teams don't want to "sacrifice" a striker... That's a choice.

In my opinion, maybe the engine need more playmaking adjustment for sure, but thats actually not true that sokker define 5 def as a winning tactic. We can play many setup Vs various opponents, 5 def is not always a better choice . We should better blame the "unskilled/ uncreative" tacticians for that.

I play very often 4 defs is not too bad

sure.

You don't see any top teams using just 3 though and being successful do you?

well i see 5-3-2 with win backs working not so bad

that's still essentially 5 at the back.

I mean a team that relies on just 3 defenders (no matter what orders they were on)

Also, I'm ignoring the player order in relation to this as I've often only selected 2 players with the def order but still had 4 or 5 players lined up back there

will its sokker but fixing number defs is not solution is most likly how they act im sick to see strikers in not super qulity to pass beside 2-3 defs at a time ...

Sure, there are a number of issues with the ME.
However, I still much prefer this football game to the others out there given you can watch the action.

no doubt about this sokker is still best but fixing such small glitches will make it perfect so its unfortunate ME is not top priority changing everything around it and this to keep for last kinda do not make sense

I would like to see implemented the weight and height variation:

- Young people could grow some cm until they are 19/20

- Players that get full training in the week could slightly vary his weight towards the perfect BMI. Players that don't play could get the opposite

Also, weight and height could have a different aspect in the 2D viewer, and it's effect could be slightly increased

Corner kick very very bad ...

2/5 corner kick goes pass to players ...

Others goes to behind of net ...

+1

+1

So are free kicks and penalty kicks.

That is because ME's standard is set up to superdivine skills.

Missing:

Freekicks on header situations

Not always playing it to the most forward position on set pieces

Slower Ball/faster players Will make it more possible to make wingbacks and midfielders moving into attacking areas, as They Can recover to defending faster
