I have to agree with you, the guys at SI did a game that is impossible to have a perfect tactic and this is good.
In the other games
ppl just appear with the perfect tactic and BANG! you win everything. As in real life this is not possible here because there are a lot of other things on football. You have to watch for your team form, psychologic, morale, weather, opposition tactics and so on...
There are so many variables que just a tactic cant win all alone.
I would dare to say that its like 50% your tactic and the other 50% all the other variables, what is real reallistic. So, if you do a tactic that explores your team strenghts dont change it because of a bad game, **** happens... Stay with it and change some team talk and media talk and watch your team come back...
A thing to note, I played the last CM before coming to FM and I have to say that CM is ridiculous easy and unreal. In 2 seasons I got promoted from second division and won the league with a "killer" tactic. There, **** never happened to me, and maybe this is fun for some
ppl, but not for the ones that like realism like us aight?
