Since EA removed the free module customisation, all the other formations are useless.
Why can't CM drop back to help the defender? Why does EA create an imaginary line that the midfield line can't pass? I play full manual since FIFA 08, so compared to most of the players, I can see all the garbage things that happen in the game.
Being an elite player means nothing to me (especially on FC games) since this game is all about cards with Playstyle(that are basically legal cheats)and AI automation(because AI is not helping you, it is doing everything for you).
If you play with 3 defenders means you must have an absolutely broken CB, because if you have a normal CB, everyone knows they will move away from the defensive line to let opponent's striker go through
I play in a manual tournament where people use teams with a max of 3 stars(with no playstyle), and even like this, it is not even enough manual compared to how it used to be on old FIFA.
