Assuming that forcing wide is supposed to give a similar structure to the tactical example below. Compact and narrow centrally, looking to force wide (the trap) to then press? FM24 ME just doesn't give anything close to that. When using force-wide, your wide players are already wide therefore you can't trap them. But, this also creates too big of a gap between your LM-LCM and RM-RCM but the same issue is with LB-LCB and RB-RCB.
You often see the bad shapes during dead balls too which really, that's when you should see the real intent. From a dead-ball situation, my far-side players (RB and RM for example) are so far out wide. Disconnected from the rest of midfield and defence.
