Yea I supposed so.

I've been starting to play on the new patch again. Finally.
Therefore I have extensively testing other setting which so far works well.
I wouldn't call it Barcelona-esque but pretty much that's how they play.
Controlling the ball on the backline and midfield to draw opposition in and create spaces
and then suddenly a through pass to the front where the front 3 just dominates.
Finally my playmaker is constantly getting 'Bossing the midfield' performance and constantly getting 60+ passes in a game. I can't achieve 100 passes because it's rather useless to have a lot of passes which going back and forth with no penetrating wouldn't it?
My wingers also play this little through ball to the striker which is always nice.
And by the way the philosophy is now very fluid - not very rigid anymore.
Maybe a couple of you will like that better.
Cheers.
