Default player position changes in default formation if i create other formation

Hi there,

I'm having a bit of an issue with player positioning in my default formation, and I’ll do my best to explain, as it’s quite frustrating. When I set up my team with players in their correct roles for the default formation, everything looks fine. However, if I create additional formations under “Tactics” and move players around to optimize their preferred positions, I notice that when I return to my default formation, some players have shifted out of their preferred positions, affecting team chemistry.

This hasn't happened in previous versions of the game, so I’m wondering if anyone could help me understand why this might be happening and if there's a way to keep players fixed in their default positions?

Thank you in advance for any insights!

Best,

Iz

    Have experienced this issue before in offline Manager Career mode. After configuring the default Tactic, complete with player instructions, and added a new Tactic with the same formation, a number of squad players were positioned incorrectly, based on the default Tactic. When starting a new career mode save, I now modify the default Tactic completely, then instead of beginning a new Tactic, hit the 'X' button (Xbox controller), and select 'Duplicate' for additional Tactic sheets. Since incorporating this style, the player positioning error has not occurred again, however, must always recheck all Tactic sheets when finished for verification.

    @CinKid73 nice one mate. Thank you for that. I can also say another thing that helps me in this regard, is log on to my companion app and make the changes to the positions there, so that is helpful but unable to change the specific tactics for each player in the different formation. Such a shame tho, because it really does make a difference when playing FUT online.
  • Same problem here. It's a shame: EA NEVER fix this because they just want to push us into buying FC26. Wait there, I’m “buying” it right now… sure thing! In reality, I’m boycotting EA and FC26. You should all do the same, it’s the only way to fight against scripting denial and such terrible customer care (they fix nothing!).

    Dear EA, you want my money? Well, you’ll only see it from far away in my pocket. Let’s see who’s stronger!!!
