Interesting video, but I think the (short) clip of the 3D match engine looked exactly like FM17.

I think the same, unfortunately.

Does anyone know at what time the features video will come?

I wouldn't assume that's the case based on a few tweets. For one thing the system requirements have changed from 3GB to 7GB hard drive space.

I might be wrong but I imagine there have been some big changes to the match engine in some way. I believe SI sometimes work on a new feature for a few years before it's added to the game.

I think the reason its now 7 gb is because Touch is now included with the base game.

Damn you are so good at understanding this game, I would never be able to create such tactics

Personaly, I think a higher risk mentality with a lower tempo is the opposite of possession (rather prefer call it "positional play"), its much more about lowering the risk and moving the ball around more faster, precisely to create unbalances into the opposition.

What mentality would then be good for possession?

Is there any difference between BTB midfielder and CM(sup) with roam from position PI?

Is it also possible to make a good possession tactics WITH fluid shape? Because I have fluid shape(because of how good my team is, so i dont really want to reduce creative freedom. Im managing Barcelona), and we often struggle to keep possession. Its very random. Sometimes we end the half with around 60% possession, and then in the second half possession goes down... sometimes we end the game with around 55,  sometimes around 58, and then there are rare games where we only have around 52% possession. My average possession was 57% in the league last season. its really random, but mostly its bellow 60%. Would it be better to use structured shape instead of fluid? 

My TIs: Control, Lower tempo, play out of defence, shorter passing, close down more, retain possession

Its a 4-1-2-2-1(4-3-3)

 I noticed that now you can set in the preferences to show all player names, which is good, but it only shows in 3D, would be nice if it also showed in 2D camera.

To all who played FM16, is there a big difference in the 'feel' of the ME of 17? 

 Crosses are no longer op, which is very good.

Any changes made to the Team Instructions screen or is it still the same?

Still the same.

Does "Play narrow" means that my team will play narrow when my team HAVE the ball, don't have or at both times?

[Quickfire Questions and Answers Thread (Tactic and Training Questions Only)]

Does setting defensive line to higher(or lower) mean that the defense will be positioned higher up the pitch when your team have the ball? Or when your team dont have the ball? Or both?
