I thought it would be cool if we could have are team play like a 3-2 zone the first half and a 2-3 zone the second half. This would add more strategy to game planning and you could trick up your opponent a little bit for one half. It can also help you get more of what you wanted in the game, like enough scoring inside and not to much.

Why would you want to play a different tactic in the second half for defense? I could understand wanting to change your defense after you saw what offence they were playing, but prior to the game you don't know what offence they will play.

Basically, defense changes should be due to influences during the game, for example if they are playing an outside offence and you are defending with a 2-3 zone then you probably want to change defence. But prior to the game there are no influences that would make you want to play 2 different defences like 3-2 zone and 2-3 zone at different points in the game.

if i like to play one half outside focus and one inside, how you could defend that? You scout me rigth but you still had to guess, which half i play what ;) So i must play mtm and the opponent has the advantage of an clear offensiv focus so in my eyes you will lose tactical choiches.

could we set something like...

first half 2-3 zone/ push the ball

If were winning then contnue through second half.

If were losing then have the players go through a preset tactics change.

I don't think that'll work very well.

What if like 2-3 zone is in fact actually better for your team and you just find yourself down at half time.

Switching to 3-2 zone will get you slaughtered even more in the second half. Even if you are going to lose, it is in your advantage to keep scores close so as to reduce the for and against differential

Coaches already alter the tactics slightly during games. If he could switch tactics from 2-3 to 1-3-1 what's the point of setting tactics at all. You need to scout your opponent and try to play to your strenghts and minimize his strenghts. I don't want to play a game where you set everything to automatic and log in once a week to see my automated team playing.
