They don't respond to most topics, and even that doesn't mean much about if they like it or not.
But rest assured, they read almost everything.
But even some idea that are supported by all of the community don't make it into the game. Every change you have to think about very very carefull...

This is a good post on the topic.x42bn6 wrote:Liverpool won the Champions League playing 3-6-1. Baros up alone, cramming 6 in midfield - two as attacking midfielders.
3-3-4 is another one that can be done. DC/DL-DC-DC/DR-ML/MC-MC-MR/MC-FL-FC-FC-FR
You can use sweepers and wide strikers together: 5-2-3 (though very infrequent): DL-DC-SW-DC-DR-MC-MC-FL-FC-FR
The alternative is, of course, to give players two possible positions (FC-FL, FC-MC, FL-ML, ML-DL, SW-DC, for example), so it doesn't punish certain formations.
4-3-3 is a formation where you cannot really focus on one thing, because it uses everything but a sweeper, while 5-4-1 players have the liberty of selling every single FL and FR they have, irregardless of ability. And because newcomers love strikers, they get sucked into buying rubbish strikers, but the 5-4-1 guy isn't complaining. Same applies for 4-4-2 (SW, FL, FR).
I don't think the engine uses formation-based AI (i.e. 4-4-2 tends to have an advantage over 4-3-3, which tends to have an advantage over 4-5-1, which tends to have an advantage over 4-4-2), more like calculation-based depending on who is where. So it would be pretty simple to implement more formations, depending on how sensible they are. I do not want to see custom formations - and then see formations like 10-0-0 winning by a penalty.
Or perhaps have defenders give some sort of boost to the midfield, but sweepers a boost to the goalkeeper. Or wingers and wide strikers giving a slight boost to each other. Basically anything that stops punishing certain formations and allows for some sort of flexibility.
I wanted to play a 4-2-4 recently against a team that played 5-4-1 a lot...but i couldnt. (4-3-3 with kick and rush was the best I could do...and I lost)
I wanted to play a 5-2-3 before to "wall up" defensively but keep a lot of attacking options for the long ball...but I couldnt. The best I could do in that case was 5-4-1 long ball, and my lone striker couldnt do the job. a 5-3-2 in that case would have left my flanks empty
Depending on how the AI works, I think there should be an option to use more formations...and there are a few good reasons above (relating to the transfer market dynamics etc)...I think its worth looking at.

This is a great idea, some players should be able to play in two positions. This would enhance the value of many players out therex42bn6 wrote:The alternative is, of course, to give players two possible positions (FC-FL, FC-MC, FL-ML, ML-DL, SW-DC, for example), so it doesn't punish certain formations.

I was told there is a rating penalty if you play someone out of position, which seems a bit...harsh really. Considering if you have a RM who is ambidextrous, why wouldnt he be able to play on the left too?

And you could also get really wierd formations like 4-2-4 or 5-0-5 when playing Long Ball - Mids don't do much. Its just a big punt from the keeper/defenders and hope that it will land on one of our forwards' foot.
