Can't save tactics w/ball vs w/o ball

You can't save tactics in career manager mode with the ball vs without. Anytime you change tactics for either one, it just stays that way when switching back over. So if you're playing a counter and lose the ball your defense doesn't track back, or if you play conservative defense style, your players won't counter when you get the ball back. This new tactics style is an absolute fail.

  • @homes4118 I originally thought that you could have on ball and off ball tactics. It took me way too long to figure out it’s all the same. They made tactics more restrictive than past years. I know people want them removed so maybe that’s why they simplified them.
  • I solved the issue with tactics not saving (PC):

    I read a comment in another thread where a user playing on PS5 (I think) mentioned that they solved the issue by simply switching the controller.

    So, I tried it on PC, as I usually play with a gamepad.

    Here’s what worked for me:

    1. Disconnect the gamepad while the game is open.
    2. Modify or edit any of the tactics, or create a new one (make sure to also try modifying the tactic and player instructions).
    3. Click save.
    4. If it works, quit the game.
    5. Before reopening the game, reconnect the gamepad.
    6. Open the game again.

    If you try reconnecting the gamepad without closing and reopening the game, the gamepad will only work in the menu and not in the game.
