Hi, could you please send us a PKM file from a match where you have gone Very Attacking, thank you.

I don't have any in this folder, do I need to go into the game and download the match in question or should it auto be there? 

It should automatically be there and feature a list of matches that you've played in, could you take a screenshot of what you see/don't see?

It's extremely simplistic to think you can just set things to 'Ultra Attacking' and expect to create chances. Especially if you're suddenly going direct. 

Looking at the pkm this isn't a bug and would suggest instead visiting our tactics forum to get more information on how to set up an effective tactic when trying to chase the game - https://community.sigames.com/forums/forum/19-tactics-training-strategies-discussion/

Thanks. 

Part of the issue is that you are calling it "very attacking" instead of "more direct and more risk taking". 

People read that and assume they are giving up defensive safety for a better chance to score. If you aren't doing that, then the name is misleading. 

I would argue that the write-up accompanying "Very Attacking" does include that information:

Exactly, this is my point. The game is telling me that is what should happen, but 9/10 that does not happen, so something is broke???

The game is just telling you that on that mentality with the current team instructions and roles and duties the players will be thrown forward to look for goals.

When you are playing on very high tempo like that and on that mentality they are likely just to try a low % pass or shot, this could easily lead to turnovers because your shot quality is low. 
 

Playing on very high mentality does not guarantee better chances. Studying your tactic to see what you can do better will. This includes things like creating overloads, moving a team around patiently creating space. Or dropping your lines of engagement to draw them out and hitting early crosses and pass into space.

I never go very attacking to score goals, I have even dropped down to balanced, gone wide and slowed my tempo to move the opposition around making them tired before switching to high tempo to take advantage of a tired team that has been chasing me around trying to win the ball.

See when I read that, it sounds more like "sending more players forward so I should get more attacking highlights at the cost of more defensive shakiness. Especially with the "throwing players forward" bit. Regardless of whether it works, i'd expect more highlights of either the opposing team taking advantage of my aggression and countering, or at least seeing my team being threatening in the opposing third. No highlights is the last thing I would expect after reading that.

Exactly mate, I expect the same reading that, most frustrating thing, SI create these descriptions and they don't correlate in game, annoying

Exactly this. Well explained 👏
