tommysingh Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 When I set any player to mark a specific player in a game, does anyone else see that they lose all common sense and will do everything to stay near that player? I'm talking run away from the guy with the ball in order to find the man they are marking. On an opposition counter attack from my corner, the two players left back on halfway line ran past the countering players in order to get to the men they are marking in the box. I'm assuming with this feature there's no option to turn on common sense? I want players to keep an eye and specifically mark opponents during open play build up, but not at any cost at any point in the game! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AytchMan Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 If you put him on easy tackling, low press and no tight marking, does that help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GianniM Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Yes. I never use it because of this. I just use the instruction on the opposition player to mark him tighter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyfon5 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I only use mark specific players in situations where the opposition push their full backs really high and my wingers are unable to properly track their runs. I feel that there are probably only a few scenario where mark specific player instruction make sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizbaII Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 This post is so funny to me because I literally posted about the same thing two months earlier because I honestly can't understand how the thousands of people who come to this site could play the game and not find this man marking at all costs super annoying. I honestly don't know how anyone who plays the game with regularity would not find it weird the way it works currently. I guess people just decide that they are just going to adapt by just not using the instruction at all. But if you have to tell your players to play differently than what you actually want, what is the point of playing FM? The more logical response in my mind would be...why not just shut the man marking off in the transition phase that immediately follows the set pieces? As OP said, seems like a pretty obvious thing to do. I mean, there have got to people out there who want 1-on-1 marking in the midfield, I surely can't be the only one who uses man-marking instructions.

tommysingh Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Yeah I agree with you all. The way it is now, it is not usable and a redundant feature which is so necessary and can be so important to use. I will post this in the bugs section, please support it guys!

tommysingh Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) There it is guys. We need this fixed. @WizbaII @GianniM @AytchMan How can I set my man to man high press or even my low block with high pressure if it means conceding pretty much every set play!!
