I Have the same problem in my save ... The match engine this year is very good but this bug is destroying the game....

I’m having the same issue with a 433 tactic (1DM 2 CM) … Very difficult to mantain possession even with very short passing and tempo and work ball into box

In today's football, a team does not use just one tactic but differs greatly when is In possession and out of possession. Football Manager is said to be a game that simulates the real life of a manager, however, in tactical terms there is still a lot to evolve. I think it is very important for us (online managers) to have some freedom in making our own tactics. For example, attacking in a 3-2-5 and defending in a 4-3-3, and putting the players exactly where we want . We see managers joining the full-back to the central defenders (in the construction phase) and forming a line 3 or even a central defender joining the midfield (like Pep Guardiola often does with John Stones) and this is impossible to reflect in Football Manager, among many other things. I think that tactical freedom, which we currently don't have in the game, is essential and very important in a game that wants to replicate the "life" of a manager. Please give attention to this request.

Yes, I think this is a must have feature. Right now we are limited on our tatics and we should have more "freedom" to create our style of play! It will make the game a lot more realistic... Please @Neil Brock think about this !

Hi all ! I think one feature that should make the game better is that we (fm players) have more options on our tatics and how the tatics can develop in game. For example, it´s very common to see a team defend in a 4-3-3 and attack in a 3-4-3, with a full back turning into the third center back (in possession), acting like an fm22 wide center back. It´s almost impossible to replicate this in FM. In FM we have the DM that can drop between the CB (only in a 4-3-3) but we can´t put the FB turning into the third CB in possession. In a 4-4-2, i real life, we also see a midfielder dropping to form a 3 shape at the back and the wingers turning to offensive midfielders (or, as I said earlier the FB turning into the 3 CB), and also this can´t be replicate in FM because if we try to replicate this in possession, our defensive structure will be very bad distributed. And this are just two examples of many that I encounter in real life. I think that the solution for this is to have two roles for the same position. One "in possession" and one "out of possession". The other solution is to have "two tatics" , but I think that should be more difficult to the AI team to implement. I play FM since FM2010 and this is one of my main "dreams" for Football Manager game. I think that this feature would create a lot more options for us (fm players), and so we could manage to create our specific "style of play" exactly the way we want. It´s a dream for all Football Manager fanatics to have total control of their tatics. I would love to help, please think about this idea. Thank you !
