Lad listen up ,
I don't know what other ppl think so far but I'll tell you what I think and only in terms of the match engine and the results originating from this engine.
I think this is among the most useless rubbish match engines EVER released.
I've spoke to my friend arnold and I played the game myself on a couple of saves and I noticed a few things:
first you get caught offside like 10 times a game and the attacking potency of players were nerfed to ****.
Defending nowdays is more manageable in general because both you and the opponent score less.
Secondly it just feels any kind of tactical changes you often make aren't even effective at all ESPECIALLY indivudual instructions.
I also heard winger performances on this engine was nerfed to ****.
Strikers dont score and heck hardly ANYONE does and if they do its just some random factors kicking in.
Unless a side totally dominates in a league for example bayern , behind them the league table in any league can look completely RANDOM and unpredictable not dependant on any objective factor (like ive seen often nottingham forest 3rd or chelsea relegated or some other random **** happening with every league table just randomly scrambled for no apparent reason).
And the results are scripted against you so that random stuff just happen like my friend arnold couldnt even win the league with liverpool (finished second) .

There are basically two scenarios on this fm lad : either the tactic works OK and then you can finish randomly any result from like mid table to winning the league or the tactic don't work so good and then u just get pooped on but there are currently no ways to make a tactic worthwhile and actually overachieve and your team perform good when u build a squad with right players.The only exception is some super high rep clubs with all players on 170+ ca maybe bayern or barca or psg otherwise its just random stuff happening randomly and chaotically.
By the way don't hesitate to SPEAK UP against this abomination of a match engine if you think the way I do.
If you agree with what I say don't let folks who just play along and praise it deter you from speaking honestly lads.

So far not very good. UI is better than last year but still not as good as previously.
ME seems completely RNG, which on the one hand is better but on the other it seems any tactical tweaks actually don't do much at all.
Overall an upgrade on a downgrade is still a downgrade. 24 >>> 27 >>>>>> 26

Lad to be honest with you 26 was WAY better than this **** at least engine wise the last patch on 26 was actually more or less playable and enjoyable heck im already having nostalgia about 26.
If it wasn't for those silly crashdumps i'd probably reinstall 26 right now and play some old saves.

I tried three different systems today with an average team: 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 and 3-5-2, and I can honestly confirm that the results seem completely random. Sometimes the performances and results are completely different, even when using the same approach.
There is no guarantee anymore that if you get off to a good start in the season, you will continue in the same way, unlike previous FM editions. You can have a great run of games and suddenly everything changes without any obvious reason.
I'm starting to get the feeling that tactics and squad building have much less influence on consistency than they used to. And after reading this thread, I can see I'm definitely not the only one experiencing this.
