I believe there needs to be some important! but subtle improvements on the match day.
1. When defending corners - Having players stay forward the match engine does not use common sense on what side the player stay's forward on the pitch! Example I play with wingers on set forward, but the game engine places my left side winger on "Stay Forward" on the right side and vice versa. I would love for this to be fixed to be atleast more practical or even better give me more options, like if I am playing down Both/Left/Right flanks or through teh middle, I can then place these places to suit the way I play.
2. Change Tactic function in match - If I change tactic instructions/subistute etc mid match, if the match engine hasnt implemented the change (as it can take 5-7mins to do this) I should be able to go back in and adjust the changes that I hvae made! I dont know how many times I have gone to sub a striker for him to score then be sub? If the change hasnt be implemented, i should be able to change it.
3. Player Positioning - there needs to be more positions to select from for placements - Example I am currently playing a 433 tactic with a DMC and 2 central midfields, expect I am finding that these 3 players are too close together. I have played aroudn with width, but this affects all other positions as a total, not what I want. I am trying to get the 2 central mids, to play in the same position as if I am playing a straight 3 man midfield, as there is a huge difference in effectivness.
3. You might try:
a.) Give the MC's a side-arrow to ML / MR respectively. They'll play about halfway between where you have them and the wing position. See if that looks the way you want it.
b.) Line up with 3 MC's; give your 2 MC players a higher mentality (12 or so), and give the DMC a much lower mentality (5 or so) and no forward runs. See if that looks the way you want it.
c.) Line up with 3 MC's; give the DMC a barrow from MC to DMC. See if that looks the way you want it.
A little suggestion I have to improve match day experience - and I'd like your opinions on it - is expand the player rating system. At the moment they're graded on a system of 1-10, which is fine. However, how about adding a little more depth, as you see in match reports in the newspapers or online news sites, where they grade a player and give a short opinion on his performance. This would help, I believe, managers playing the game to see WHY a player had a bad/good game. Was he just poor, or was he made to look poor by a sublime opponent?
Of course, this being said, I'd like to see this added only when the current problems with the game have been fixed and tweaked.
I wish player instructions belonged to the players instead of the positions...... it just makes no sense and makes hard to play with a squad rotation system
