Those who use the 4312 formation cannot be stopped in the game.
This is not a rant post. I'm on holiday and when I get back to school I'll have little or no time to play this game, but since I have plenty of time on my hands I've been playing the game a little bit more recently and I absolutely dread what I see now.
To be honest, considering the terrible defending in the game, 4312 is a cancer and everyone just uses it. It's really, really bad compared to Pes mobile.
I have to manually controll all my defenders and you'll have 4312 ping-pong-ers coming at you with 2 strikers and it feels like you stand no chance (due to the ultra-manual defending) when they are attacking.
Again, 3-man defence formations are useless; these are formations that are literally the hardest to get past in football in real life and in this game they are literally the easiest to get past.
I don't think Konami solved last year's problems, the kick-off bug is still there. They've just added a lot more bugs. The gameplay is good but that's the bare minimum. At least it should be playable.
PS: I hate the 4312 formation and no top team uses it irl and it is not as effective in real life as it is in this game. In today's football, there is no way you sacrifice your midfield for width and be a top team, it's not possible. I'm starting to think Konami have very few people who understand the game of football because this is a mess.
Also, due to the way the 4312 formation is abused by lazy players in this game, I never want to use it. It is flat out an annoying part of this game I'll not participate in.
This is supposed to be a casual game, Konami, not a reason for your players' headache!
