Is each match just random or what? Everytime i have ever changed something in tactics screen since fm 05 nothing happens. For example when you say to a player shoot long often he doesn't shoot at all, or tell a player to not go forward he always does. Also, one time i was getting beat 4-0 so to save further embarassment i set mentality to ultra defensive and guess what? I scored 4 goals within 5 minutes of doing that. Its aload of bullshit if you ask me.
To be honest I think everything you just said then is utter rubbish. No way did you manage to score 4 goals in 5 minutes after switching defensively. Also I highly doubt that the players really are ignoring you and it's totally random with whatever tactics you choose. You either have a bunch of idiots that won't listen to you because you're a poor manager, or you've either set their creative freedom too high which basically makes them ignore most of your instructions anyway.

And how would you no that???? I guarantee you that is what happened. I set it to ultra defensive and scored 4 goals in 5 minutes.
The amount of times ive got everything set to ultra defensive and deep and nobody up for corners, and yet i always seem to be caught out on the counter is a total nonsense
Does changing tactics even do anything?
