Nah, that would actually simulate more realistically how teams are set up and how football is played in real life. We can't have that, you crazy?

Whether or not this works in game, it is not an accurate representation of how Dortmund's side plays this year due to certain shortcomings of what the match engine can accomplish and where it fails.

Then why don't treat it as a game? Don't go about it thinking and trying to act as if you were standing on the sideline, coaching your own team. Play the game as you would play Kirby or Donkey Kong. You're not having people play football, you're playing a game.

Speak about -> Warn player -> Criticise last game. "My performance was excellent. Have you been to the opticians recently?" Yeah, a great performance all around with your 6.3 and a penalty over the crossbar. GTFO.

So you want him to effectively change his wingbacks from Support to Support? Yeah, that'll do. ;) Change both W/A into W/S. Consider manually marking wide players. Set closing down via PI instead of TI, else you'll lose your shape in defense; also, not too many players closing down at once...

There's something called "comparison", not sure if you heard of it before. Without having a look yourself, you are not really in a position to state whether or not everything works as intended. But yeah, apart from lobotomized defenders, referees running berserk, injured players sitting on the...

As I said, go try it out. Surely you know how a team played in 15 after setting their morale to "abysmal". Try it in the new one, let's see if you can spot the difference. Hint: they're unaffected.

Go give it a try, then.

Around 480 hours over the last 12 months cumulated, honey.

So player morale apparently has no effect on performance anymore. Well, that's something.

Well, rename the game back to Championship Manager then, because that's where you'd end up with that sort of attitude. This approach has been summed up by Beckenbauer, stating "just go out and play football" ... in 1990. And this is where it belongs, as long as you count out lower league and...

Martin Odegaard? €78m release clause. Still a kid, sure, but he could be your number 10 for 15 years to come. Not sure if you could get him to leave Real though.

Playing against kids who are two years younger than you? Beating the **** out of them, causing five (!) injuries in one match? And still losing out 0-1? English football, everyone.

Depends on what you're trying to implement, really. Getting 1980's Championship football to work isn't that much of a hassle. More advanced stuff however, well ... lemme put it this way: try to ask the Mourinhos, Guardiolas, van Gaals out there to replicate their work using the limited tool box...

Better change that to "need to make sense within the confines of the game". There's still an awful lot going on in world football that can't be replicated the way it should be.
