How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? In tactics menu
What happens when the bug occurs? The screen says “customized” and “with ball” instead of “without ball” and “with ball”. When I change formation or instructions for player it changes for both with and without ball.
What should be happening instead? I should be able to choose different formation and instructions for players for “with ball” and “without ball”

    The same problem also exists in Clubs. The tactics with and without the ball are always the same, even though they have been changed individually.

    Unfortuneatly, this scenario is not a bug or glitch, merely a failed game implementation, and lack of communication from EA developers/Community Managers to inform the public, regarding newly added game features. It was never the intent of developers to allow manipulating individual player instructions in the tactic sheets for both 'On the ball' and 'Without the ball', and pressumably will not be changed at any point this year. The secondary visual in the tactics sheet is a misconceived attempt to display player positioning when defending based on roles and focus, and was never meant to be configured separately; only a visualization of how players execute the formation without the ball. For example, in a four back set with fullbacks designated with the 'Fullback' role and 'Balanced' focus, during attacks the fullbacks move slightly forward toward the midpoint pitch line, however, while playing defense (shown in the without the ball screen), fullbacks are positioned in alignment with the centerbacks in a deep defensive line. What EA should have done from the beginning, and may be incorporated in EAFC 26, is allow users to change player roles, types, and focuses differently for each tactic sheet (with and without the ball). For now, the 'Without the ball' element is austensibly a useless feature, and should have been delayed, until proper integration into all game modes is achieved.
