Mentioned in another thread, but since it's possible many would think it boring and not interested in reading, I will let you the note here, after seeing it during a match for third and worse time.
The message telling your rival has changed tactics doesn't come immediately and it can in fact take several in game minutes to arrive. Usually it's been reported within 5 minutes, but once it took no less than eight and this third time it was 12 minutes since the rival went 4-2-4 until it was reported in the messages. If I hadn't been watching full match and checked the opposition instructions after they subbed I could have been very vulnerable for all that time. So perhaps when you're ahead by a brief margin in one of the resumed modes, it might be good to at least make pauses and check your rival's tactic each 5 mins.
P.S. - The time strip with its different colors for dangerous and harmless plays kind of ruins the thrill.
