Default AI weirdnes....defensive 4-4-2

OK I really almost never have any trouble with tactics but I have come across something really weird.

I am playing as Cisco Roma in Serie C1 and have probably the best team, but sudenlly I find my self drawing (mostly.... 'bout 10 draws in 20 legs) and loosing.

The Ai started to play the famous 3-3-2-1-1 and so I lose my great 4-4-1-1 an create a new tactic.

So the season ends and I start the new one with the new tactic from the end of the last season.

And nothing has changed at all...the results are the same + my scouts reports are ALL the same.

EVERY, and I mean EVERY team I play against is playing DEFENSIVE 4-4-2 with posesion football.

So what does this mean, I am in about half of the season and maybe won 3-4 games against that DEFENSIVE 4-4-2, that I forgor to mention often transforms in 3-3-2-1-1 again.

So can anyone at least tell me if this has ever happened to you?

This really needs to be looked at....it's really making me mad.

I can't win two games in a row despite having a good team.

interestingly (from watching ai played games) the ai managers seem to choose a 4-3-3 against this formation to get more advanced wide players, so maybe long farrows on ML/R if playing a 4-4-2 and widening the whole thing might do it...

I don't have my swedish game anymore as I grew tired of it so I can't try it out...

I think I just found out what was the problem.

CLICK

I am going to test it again tommorow but I really think that the reason that I am beeing crushed by two time weaker opponents is due to me being 3 millions in dept.

Play wider, quicker with FWRs often on wide players. That should help a lot.

Thanks wwfan but thrust me that was not an issue.

I tried all of my best tactics wide one's or narrow ones with all of the variations on mentallity , CD, FWR's.....etc, but I really think that I am onto something when I say that the main problem was finance.

As I said I am going to test this tommorow by using FMM thing for the first time in my life.Yes I am felling bad about it but I will not use it on my real save on which I will resume with my current finance (gonna have to sell all of my best players) :thdn:
