Yeah this is all stuff ive noticed/seen, I really like how the new pivots work and definitely have seen an improvement on the halfback role because of this.
Mentality I havent moved off of balanced yet, ive done 4 seasons getting the roles and duties to behave how I wanted and am now messing about with out of possession instructions. Inside forwards on attack I find extremely aggressive in possession and often run through my advanced forward to pass the ball to the gk 🤣, or my cd loops an insanely high pass over the head of his partner to the wingback is the kind of all over the place ive seen, a long with some games where gks dont exist and every shot is a goal.
I think the finished article is going to be great, I just think it needs tidied up.
