Thanks for that. Judging by those screenshots, it certainly looks like an improvement over FM17. I might give it a go then. Craving some FM right now.

So are you saying that they are no longer hard-coded to behave like they were in FM17? In FM17, regardless of role, they would move into positions as in the screenshot above. Has this been resolved?

Apologies for bumping an old thread but I was wondering if this issue was fixed in FM18? The issue in FM17 was that wingers/wide midfielders stayed far too wide defensively and you could not keep a proper defensive shape no matter what instructions you gave tactically. The MR/ML never moved infield to help centrally. If, for example, you were playing a 4-4-2 formation, the central midfielders would stand around holding hands in the middle while the wide players stayed out as wide as possible doing nothing. The wide players refused to help centrally even when the opposition overloaded the central areas. I'm thinking of picking up FM18 and it would be good to know if it was addressed and fixed for the current game.

Work Rate is not a physical attribute. Both Determination and Work Rate are mental attributes.

Great career thread, Iacovone! It really makes me want to get back into an FM career. Always find your careers inspiring. What was behind the decision to change to 4-2-3-1? Are you going to do the same with the national team?

Why are they putting a picture of Platini on the big screen?

Don't get me killed!

One thing that does add to the replayability of XCOM is the second wave options. I've been having quite a lot of fun with 'Not Created Equally', 'Hidden Potential' and 'Training Roulette' in my current run, which has created some really unique soldiers.

I think Hearts of Iron IV is already in Beta. Worth nothing that East vs West wasn't developed by Paradox Development Studio. It was to be published by Paradox Interactive who are the 'parent' publishing company but it wasn't developed in house (i.e. by Paradox Development Studio). Paradox Development Studios are the ones who make Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis, Victoria and Hearts of Iron (plus their newly announced game, Stellaris, due to come out next year).

It's nearly that time again!

Are you ready for a miracle?

The sale has started and it is indeed as MichaelMurrayUK said. There are just highlighted deals for the whole of the sale. Takes some of the fun out of it really.
