If I wanted more guessing in a game, I would look for one of the numerous online Poker games.

And if all you're doing is guessing playing poker, I'd love to play you.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Building a team for a specific strategy is not only fun and interesting and, it also has a very strong connection with real life team sports. Where coaches and players would rather put their pride in outplaying the opposition with their favourite strategy rather than faking and gambling to play a strategy opposite to their philosophy and skills.

And their opponents "guessed" they were going to play these tactics almost every time and specifically prepared for them. The fact is, that didn't matter much because such teams are that dominant. Nothing seems to indicate that won't be true here either.

Basically, they just finished their job in killing outside offences, anyone with a outside offense team was bad before, now they are done fore.

I'm not liking this feature either. It shifts some power to weaker teams that are in a nothing-to-lose situation while stronger teams will be reluctant to use it except vs a bot.

Plus I think it's unrealistic in every way to force teams to use different tactics every game in order to avoid losing the guessing game every time. I can't think of many pro teams that won championships using a variety of different tactics each game.

since being competitive both inside and outside is more expensive in several ways.


I guess we could counter that new problem by raising the minute optimum from 60 to 70 - that way we would see a more realistic utilization of the top lineups too. (assuming GS training will be removed too).

To me it never made sense to start the best players one game, only to bench them for another - just for the sake of gameshape.

I would guess the new GDP will cause more people to not bet on defense (and play m2m) instead of betting defensively since the cost in case of error would be less severe.

Another thing that might happen is teams playing 3-2 (which some say is also efficient vs Inside offense) on defense and betting on the opponent playing inside in order to balance their chances, i wonder if these things have been simulated before implementing?
