This game work only 1 formation 4-2-1-3

It’s because they keep buffing offense and nerfing defense. There is no need to attack with more than 4. You also need to have 6 back to try to stop the pace of those 4. Rather than balance that they will probably just remove the formation. So another one will take its spot. 

every year they remove formation because is broken instant to fix it soon will have no formation in game to play :))

I think we had a pretty good diversity of formations at the start. Once the refresh shifted focus on more pace and offense it’s just the only formation used now. 

I tried the 4-2-1-3, but it's not really working for me. I'm playing City which has veeery slow players in general, especially in the defensive zone, and since defense is already non existing, 4 defenders is not even enough. Usually when i play vs Real (which is like 9 games out of 10 in this ridiculous game), I need to play 5-3-2, with Doku on back as a runner. No real coach would ever consider putting Doku in a defensive position after the last European Cup, but since this is not a realistic game, we just need to work with what EA provides us.

Btw: it's just embarrasing what quotations were given to King Kev. One of the best midfielders ever on English fields but i had to put him on the bench because he's that bad. I read somewhere that it was even discussed in City's dressing room how bad he is in the game

The problem is they nerfed 5 atb and also blocked it in competitive play. It’s a way for ea to force high scoring games without balancing it or making it realistic. 

If they made offense manual it would also go a long way in making people have to go to more formations. 

Then again people seem to like high scoring easy offense games. 

People don`t know what they want before they complain there is not that much contend and now is so much SBC objective and ppl start to complain is way to much i understand you can`t please everyone but if you see something broken and everyone abuse it try to fix it to shapeshift  meta for people have more fun to be more diververs 

There is way too much content. I realize people want better packweights but all it does is ruin the market. Right now everything is discard because we have too good of packweights to many sbcs evos promos and rewards. This is great for casuals as they can jump in the game at anytime and get an endgame team to compete but hardcore players can no longer grind packs and slowly upgrade.
