Something i think when i play FM is that each team is very generic, after all its controlled by a computer. in real life, each team has there own unique manager, who has a preferred way of playing

in real life you can cleary identify the style wenger plays, and how different that is to mourinho, ferguson.

Each manager has there own formation, which is evident through the team

for example, megson came to newcastle yesturday, he played so narrow and so defensive, 4-5-1, yet when a moyes or redknappe comes to town (or should i say toon? ) both there styles of play are different, but you just dont see this is the game,

yet in FM i feel this is just not the case

yes when you play a top team, such as arsenal or chelsea, they play well, but it feels the same for whatever manager they have in charge

managers dont have there own style in the game, you cant see that arsenal under wenger play passing football, cos when you play man utd with ferguson or chelsea, if feels your playing the same team

so it makes each game feel very geniric instead of each match being differnt, with differnt challenges as you have to overcome wengers unique style of play, or a sam allardyce style

i dont know if ive worded it very well, i know what i meen, it maybe hasnt come across correct

yeah your message means something to me, i personally dislike playing the big teams (even though i am arsenal) because i just get beaten most of the time regardless!

The mentalist NEC manager Ivica Cacic likes to play 4-2-4 for 90mins.

It's shockingly effective, especially against AI teams and they've been at or around the top constantly in the 4 years he's been in charge.
