gunner86 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Loving all the new features and what not but I have a small complaint. Why is it that when you use a clubs standard formation they still have no familiarity with it? For example, I'm playing with Arsenal and use the 4-5-1 that is used by the club as a default as it is most similar to our formation IRL, its also the same as what we used in FM10, but all the familiarity levels start at awkward. Why is this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhughthom Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I think it's probably a good way to simulate a new manager in charge of a team, even if you do like your team to play in a similar way to Wenger the players will still need to get used to a new managers way of playing.

gunner86 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 I appreciate that but surely they'd have more than 0 knowledge of the formation at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbh Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 It's a game mate, it's not that realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noxion Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Who said that? From Wikipedia: Football Manager 2011 [...] is a football manager simulation video game. Also Wikipedia: Simulation is the imitation of some real thing, state of affairs, or process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom14 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Don't Arsenal play more of a 4-2-3-1. That has 15/100 in knowledge which I suppose isn't great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnie12inch Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I was sure Wenger has them on a 4-3-3 ish. I could probably be wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike J Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 One of the problems is that a lot of teams (especially the top teams) don't play an easily categorised formation. Sure, Arsenal play one up front and five midfielders but the likes of Arshavin are closer to strikers than midfielders, IMO. So just playing 4-5-1 (or should that be 4-3-3?) isn't necessarily enough to count as the same formation they're used to. Some knowledge should be preset, and it seems it is, but given the massive variation between different systems that are nominally the same I think it's OK to have relatively little knowledge at the start.

JimmyIOCS Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Yeah Wikipedia have been known to make a lot of things up in the past. Are you saying that wikipedia is wrong and a simulation is not based on realism? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
