aderow Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 You know I've seen teams go with a flat 5 back line in my man utd save....but I didn't really think too much of it because I am on like a 60 game winning streak....teams should be afraid of me. But this is the earliest I have ever seen this happen in a save; this is the opening preseason and its my 5th friendly...and I've 2 games including my last one. Also I've never seen this variation of this before and thats the reason I wanted to post it. So what other variations of this flat 5 back line have you seen before? Why do so many teams love it?

StevoRobbo Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 In every Man Utd save I have, when im at home to Bolton they always play a 3-5-2 with the 5 flat across midfield. Even Chelsea wouldn't go to OT and play with 3 at the back so why would Bolton do it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkermush Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Do you always play that formation, with 3 up front? It's probably the AI trying to counter your extra striker with another defender...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyr1777 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Looks like the AI just doesn't know how to deal with 3 up front in any way... I mean a 5-2-3? They are scared of conceding yet they put 3 up front instead of maybe a 5-4-1? AI obviously has issues with this for some reason. BTW, 60 game winning streak sounds like one boring game, absolutely no challenge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Drundrige Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Last time I saw the AI use it - and they do it a lot - the commentary said they'd "switched to a 3-4-3" ... I know that the full-backs tend to bomb forward but I still wouldn't class it 3-4-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugster Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 60 game winning streak wut? It looks like you just started the game. He said it was on his Utd game he was on a 60 game winning streak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elliottness23 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I play with Liverpool in a 4-2-3-1. A lot of teams play a 5-1-2-1-1 to try and stop me, doesnt work much but i guess the AI is trying its hardest to counter my formation. Its never gonna happen, i change it little by little every other game so the AI cant catch up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanatical Ollie Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 It's most likely the AI trying to counter your formation, having said that, whenever I am 2-0 down and go for a more attacking style the commentator informs me the opposition are "going for a more attacking formation" which to me seems stupid, surely?!

aderow Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 60 game winning streak wut? It looks like you just started the game. Please read what I wrote more carefully mate Do you always play that formation, with 3 up front? It's probably the AI trying to counter your extra striker with another defender...? I've been testing out a new tactic. BTW, 60 game winning streak sounds like one boring game, absolutely no challenge. I can't help that I'm awesome It's most likely the AI trying to counter your formation, having said that, whenever I am 2-0 down and go for a more attacking style the commentator informs me the opposition are "going for a more attacking formation" which to me seems stupid, surely?! The thing is I have seen this in my main save where I play with a 4-2-4 with an AML, AMR, FC, FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
