Is the closing down slider in 2008 the root of all problems?
I am in the middle of yet another tactic tweaking session and have come to the conclusion that a lot of the problems with this game is down to the closing down slider...
The reason being is in previous versions the closing down slider allowed "rarely, mixed, often" which allowed various players to do just that in their own area of the pitch. Now we have "own area, own half and full pitch" which doesn't allow you to link up the sliders with for example mentality as easily and I feel maybe that with these sliders players get pulled out of position too easily.
Also the basic rules of previous versions have also altered dramatically. Is it just me or does the old rule of mirroring tempo with passing style (eg short/slow) not work anymore?
How about the Rule of one and the Rule of two on mentality? Eg Centre Backs 6 clicks, Full Backs 8 clicks, DM 10 clicks, wingers 12 clicks etc etc.. Has this also ceased to work? This used to give good cohesion to the way your team attacked and defended as a unit...
Any thoughts?
P.S One slider I would like brought in next time round is an option for strikers. Eg Long Shots/High Shots/Low Shots/Round Keeper/Mixed. Something like that, just so it stops my pesky strikers shooting straight at the keeper when clean through!!
