It really bothers me that we cant change our lineup and tactics during the game. I think it would benefit both sides and makes the game so much easier.

Ex: a player is having an off day.... Just remove him from the game and ut in the back up for the rest of the game.
Ex: A selected offense isnt producing points... Change the offensive formation during the game

I think having the option to change all this during the game would result in more points and closer games. And i could really use it to put my match importance to "crunch time" for this cup game since my opponent is taking it easy haha

I thought that option was already available: "Let coach decide".......

I have not yet chosen that option... does it allow myself to control everything during the game? or by "coach" does it referr to the computer coach?

it refers to the computer coach and your only chance to influence your lineup is before the match.

This will not change in the future because it'd make things too easy. Especially minute management for game shape would become too easy.

We have both said a lot of things that you are going to regret.

It doesn't allow you to "coach" the game. Allowing that would give an unfair advantage to users who watch their game live. I don't think that will ever happen. Submitting a blank lineup and choosing "let coach decide" gives the coach freedom to play the optimal lineup throughout the game and fixes some of the things you mentioned.

Hard to control training with this option, though.

i'm watching my game and wish there was a way to put the intensity to crunch time. my opponetn went easy and with normal intensity and normal roster im right with him even though he is ranked A LOT higher than me. This feature would allow me to increase intensity and change the lineup, hopefully they one day consider it.

this would remove all the strategics out of the game, i predict you to play an outside offense shot you down with 1-3-1 and you switch to LI. If both are online, you switch the offense so that the only playable defense is mtm.

if just one team online, maybe one manager had to work at game time and never can watch it, you adjust the tactic to what he actually play instead of looking what tactic would make sense for him. While he don't react and have an big disadvantage at the game.

PS: i moved it to the suggestion forum ;)

Changing tactics gives a huge advantage to teams that are watching the games live. I was on vacation a week ago and I had to set my roster for 3 games to avoid missing anything. I did not have any internet to change my roster at all. Now if my opponent could have changed their lineup, doesn't that give them a huge advantage. Also imagine the coach telling this to his players

"I know we have practiced this offense for the whole week, but let's switch to an offense we haven't practiced at all and hope we do good."
