I am playing with it set low and using forward runs and the way to make my team play as a unit, decided that a team which has random plays running out of position often is not operating as a unit, so they all either have it set on often/mized or rarely depending on my position in the game.

CF:High
Pressing so hard tackling DMC, and back 4, tight marking, high D-Line, and closing down.

I am having more success than ever which is not hard tbh, I am Barca, but I have not played well before, regardless of the big club I play as.

No...Second season slump, inexplicable inability to defend or score, mid season slump.

Mentality also seems to mean nothing, I score a lot still, and attack a lot, but I just do not concede now all my players are on the same FR setting, in fact I find that changing formation (obviously) and setting forward runs to rarely makes more differance than mentality ever did to defending. I can now actualy effectively close a game that is at 1-0 out with out waiting for an inevitable equaliser, and without feeling like one is even on the cards.

All settings=global.

I mean I have played Milan, Arsenal, Man Ut etc all using the belief that mentality means how often they attack, and been crap, hardly won a thing.

All of a sudden my old problems are gone and I won the double and am on course to retain the title, my team has played 18 in the second season and conceded only 2 goals in that time.

Formation..

4-1-2-3, 3 strikers, can switch to a wide formation.

Note I can win games with low pressing also, and slow/fast tempo and differing width.

The one key is mentality always low and forward runs always the same for all players.

I attack just as much but defend far better, all across the park.
