So the ME complaints rumble ever onwards with some changes and fixes going into beta testing right now.
The main complaints are basically regarding the 4-3-3, the jumping issue and the apparently ability they have to compete at senior level (although there's no specific change going in regarding this one)
But show of hands time, if those three issues were fixed/changed right now, who would have a problem ? We are all moaning about it in the knowledge that any fixes are likely to screw our teams up.
To be fair the jumping issue is likely to only affect one of my defenders and I guess it's going to make him very poor, so i'll likely need to spend on a better defender. I've drafted some youths in, mainly as backup, so if that were changed i'd have problems there too.
But the biggest problem will be if 4-3-3 suddenly becomes an ineffective formation to use. Most of the better teams are currently playing this formation, they have no wingers and a large collection of forwards on their books. It's unlikely that 4-3-3 will become totally useless but it will be interesting to see how much it's effectiveness is actually reduced by.
Not saying that we shouldn't improve the ME, but it's just kind of ironic we are all moaning about it knowing it's likely to cause us problems!
There will be another formation that is deemed to be a cheating formation though. If 4-3-3 is nerfed there will be a 4-5-1 or 4-6-0 or 4-1-2-1-2 variant that will prove as popular as it is effective :) I'm sticking with a standard 4-4-2 in hope that one day it will be the superior tactic. :p
