Its about possession football philosophy, numbers are helpful, but not my point. In 1974 we had total football, players changing positions and filling for each other. Something as simple as this isn't even possible. Possession football was derived from cruyff and its principles. Having a lot of possession, will make opponents run more and become frustrated and more prone to error. A old fkn concept, and not available in game. You love stats so much right? Check your in game distance run, and you will see no differences in distance run of you and your opponent, who plays another style. This is just ONE example, there are more. This game is supposed to resemble football, yet the rules are different, football concepts dont apply in fm. Heck ake and walker , overlap sometimes as an ifb, yet even though heavy man city marketed , we cant even replicate this simple concept. Or like one wing back attacking and the other staying back, basic football concept, yet again not available in game. The lack of possession based tactics in the last years are a result of how garbage this me and company is. Even fm arena confirms how disasterous the plug and play tiki taka tactic is , i.e. playing this style is shooting yourself in the foot even with years of squad building whatever. BUT a fkn knap tactic, a creator who was been laughed at years ago, now the top creator, use his tactic and your team will perform better in like a week. You're tactic is the best I've seen and used from forums all over, but still for me not satisfying when i watch it play out, as you get battered against teams (not only top teams) who full press.

enlightened about 'real' world football? exactly some of those teams DO NOT even play possession based football yet achieve 60+ percent possession while playing gegenpress. Prime barca in La Liga achieved over 70%, unfortunately that is impossible in this game and my whole point, in this game when you go above 60% , you know this as well, that you will stop creating chances and will shoot yourself in the food, because this ME cannot handle players like, iniesta, xavi,messi, daniel alves-abidal etc. but hey good for you, keep enjoying your 54% 'possession and control' football, just like real world football. ezel

Player interaction are unrealistic, uselessness of staff is unrealistic, ME is unrealistic, tactics creator in unrealistic, low injury rate is unrealistic, ai squad management is unrealistic, regens attributes are unrealistic, regens having more facial hair than most grown men when they are 16 is unrealistic, transfers are unrealistic. luckily the regen faces in game are realistic though! give and take right SI?

Lol guy gave up, can't blame him. A thread named 'possession and control' and struggling to even achieve 60 percent . Possession football is dead in fm. For some reason central through balls and central play dont exist and wingers suddenly all have 1 ball control when receiving out wide, let alone cute inside with the ball. Yet people are claiming EVERY tactic is JUST as viable as gegenpress. Well I don't see them ANYWHERE, so they don't exist, not just this edition for years on already. The most polished edition right? just look at my avatar, sums up this game and its developers in a nutshell.

XD at this point, SI just hire him and shut him up. He has been exposing and harming your game for some time now.
