My opponent play offside trap,my players go to offside 6 times,1 time DL (could be) 2 times my DC !!! What he is doing there behind not only mid. line but also attackers!
That's not new. It also used to happen with old engine. How to avoid it?
* Do not play more attacking/all out attack
* Avoid short passing
* Use target man
You will notice that offside numbers reduces, a lot.
http://www.gokickoff.com/team_match_detail.php?match_id=6897381 I go strong attack and pressing more,my opponent create one shot on goal and score but thats not what I dont like...He score passing long ball to striker which is winning a ball against my...FL and is of the last defender.!!! Long pass and my most press formation is a last one in defense line!
I think cumulative score is good way to improve this game but some balanced must be done.DC are not players who are running out to offside in any tactic,same Attackers are not the last one in defense formation.Looks like engine create situations on pitch with same percentage as it calculate tactic score and basicly 30% for tactic score means also 30% time of that player in specific situation.Thats only some example for offsides DC pos. and opposite last defender with attackers.Im sure there is much more problems like those two.
Funny huh? That's one of the things i hate about this new engine, people claims that playing 4-2-4 leave your team weaken on wings, that would be reasonable if FORWARDS wouldn't be defending. Cumulative levels in team tactics is PERFECT, a lot better than the old average levels, but influence on player's performance is too big.
My premium Expire Date :17/07/2015 and with current game play I will not support anymore because:
1.I lost my entusiasm,even when serach for best tactic my work can be destroy cause of not realistic situation(I feel like a beta tester not like a premium member).Basicly Im losing my time.
2.I can set best tactic for my team on this engine without premium help in 5 minutes (Im sure many users already know how easy it is).Of course for usres with high level players/teams is more difficult against similar teams but in low level teams its very clear and final score is more in luck than before.Will be interesting to see what this engine can create for best teams when they play against each other in WCL.
3.In my situation I can just wait 10 seasons and build my club background without premium-even better I dont have to log in so often to get G's bonus from club activity what imo is really madness ! Premium members must log in more often here than non premium to benefit something.
No thanks I will wait when premium is expired,maybe after 10 seasons something will change.At least I make some G's to change my club name,nick name,and stadium name which for premium members should be for free and for rest pay by G's
Fist of all, i think the same, i extended my premium account when season 9 started, new game looks (with many unfinished things hidden) and decent (or fairer) rules about youth camps gave me some hope, the game seemed to have "some" improvement, it was some feedback, things were a lot promising back then, i won't bite again.
Now, to your points:
1 - I also feel like a lab mice, we shouldn't be here doing their testing job. How many bugs did we report in the last 2 seasons? The last thing (zonal marking not working in new engine) was enough, this engine were announced a season ago, i have the feeling that they NEVER tested it before launching it, and that also makes me think that player's new performance is also because of it, our players dropped their performance because they tried to rebalance things but never actually tested them, the result is pretty clear.
2 - I play argentinian top level, every single game is a challenge, with or without new engine, with or without premium
3 - Extra energy is not only useful to generate money, you will have international players eventually, and probably will play WCC, keeping them fit for those matches will be a lot tougher if you are not premium.
I really hope this game can survive but for now: Quo Vadis Domine GKO?
I think you already know the answer to that question.
