This is a poor reply. This is a football simulator and therfore I should be able to play my favourite football tactic with realistic results and consequences.

Once again gegenpress is so overpowered and this makes the game too easy for me, currently any team can play gegenpress tactics from vanarama teams to prem team with no consequences. Gegenpress should only work with players with good work rate, high stamina etc. and teams who don't have the right type of players for this tactic shouldn't be successful with it. We should see more injuries etc. For the last 3 versions gegenpress has been overpowered, I remember watching a video where SI said plug and play gegenpress is a thing of the past but guess what that simply wasn't the case. It's still a click and continue tactic. This year the ai was supposed to be better defensively and make tactical tweeks in accordance to how the match plays out I don't see any evidence of that. I was hoping this year's version would reduce the effectiveness of gegenpress and smarter ai would combine to make the game more difficult but guess what none of this has happened again. @devs why is gegenpress still so overpowered after all these years and will its effectivness be better balanced in future updates for fm23. Please answer my question and help me understand.

Gegenpress is still overpowered why are the devs finding this so difficult to balance?

That's a fair comment this is just my initial thought.

I was really hoping enhanced manager ai would make the game more interesting and challenging but I've not noticed a difference and this was a headline feature. And is squad rotation really necessary? I've played players with very low fitness levels and they get very high match ratings and don't seem to get injured, so why would I rest them? Surly playing players with low levels of fitness should have consequences.

It's disappointing that the game is still too easy, I was hoping with the new ai manager stuff and better defensive play this version of FM would be more challenging but it's just the same as fm22. I can simply use a pre defined tactic and click continue to win, team talks, training, press stuff, Tactics does not make difference to the outcome, even players on very low fitness levels playblinders and get high match ratings. Perhaps realistic injury rates would make the game more difficult, at the end of the day I'm disappointed again. I

I'm not a good manager really, I simply select gegenpress and change from positive to attacking mentality, do you play gegenpress? With those results I doubt it.

Fm22 is too easy, high intensity attacking tactics make the game too easy to overachieve with any team in any league. Not enough consequences to playing gegenpress, to play this tactic you must have a team with good stamina and work rate etc. How can a team like Kettering Town play gegenpress for an entire season at such high intensity and with such a small saqud. We need a difficulty levels or ways to adjust the game to be more realistic, on higher difficulty levels we could get tougher transfer neogations, injury ratio closer to real life, more consequences to playing different tactics etc. It feels like fm is trying to cater for the casual fan which is fine but the more experienced users who prefer a challenge need options to fine tune their game to their liking. I want a relegation battle instead I just click and go with little thought and I end up massively over achieving with every team I try, it becomes boring.

Gegenpress click and go is the win win tactic for any team or league!
