Hi,
There is absolutely no sense in spending time making different tactics.Beacuse the games seem to end up like a lottery.There is no better team on the pitch.Just the one with a bit more luck.
So the results are nothing but a coincidence.Nothing to do with knowledge,tactics or player skills.If you play same match for 10 times,there are going to be 10 different results and statistics.
I'd call nonsense on this, but then I don't want to further fuel the flames or enragement. I'd call it an exaggeration and an overly emotional response, but then this is what this thread is for.
The AI has never produced such a huge array of tactics and corresponding play, and some of its choices may fuel into the occasional high-scoring game for sure. For the human however it's perfectly possible, depending your side is capable to, to almost completely close out a game in such a way that half or more of whatever little shots you encourage and thus get will all be after set pieces, and all of that without going 5-5-0 or anything else ridiculous. As is the opposite. This is no different from a previous iteration, however some options may have become a bit more sensible (not merely the AM strata players when on attack duties visibly not tracking back when defending which can lend itself to high-scoring and random games by default, unsurprisingly). And then there's always a portion of the player base who expects to yell defend or attack at their team, and then witness the resulting statistics in scorelines without considering that a) there's also an opponent on the pitch and his tactics. And b) that changing mentalities doesn't hugely alter the shape of your team any, it is the roles and duties you pick that determine who regularly gets forward in your 4-4-2, who roams, who supports or who just stays back and cover. Some of the in-game text is very unfortunate in this.
The entire system is to be seen holistically, and can right start with your pick in players. If you want to play keep-ball, fielding Schürrle may not be the most ideal of idead, due to his personal traits edited into the db, for instance. His player prefered moves make him consider taking a shot each time he gets near the opponent's box. Likewise Hazard tops the dribbling charts of the Premier League so consistently it's a shame they don't offer bets on that.
Glitchy goals have always existed, some of them on purpose (this isn't Fifa), some of them not. But in particular if you're the better side producing more chances I'm completely concinved you benefit of them more than you do get punished, if they happen.
