Hello Aymeric,

I really appreciate your active involvement and how you listen to the community, as well as most of the new features, but I think the one concerning MdM is counterproductive.

Whether it’s the first version (timer + instant change) or the second version (changes spread across several updates), it makes matches between two active players far less interesting.

Nowadays, without any leeway in the stats, it’s become difficult to gain a real advantage over an active and attentive opponent. It makes matches tight, not very interesting to watch, and increases the element of chance. It’s hard to catch your opponent off guard (which is a shame for a tactical game).

I understand, initially, the desire to find a solution when you suspected illegal use. But since it was a bug, it would be a shame to continue down this path.

I wanted to wait until the new season was approaching, gain a bit of perspective after several matches, and gather feedback from a number of managers before starting this new thread. This change is having a negative impact on the motivation of many members, including some of the most active in your game. I think that’s a shame 🙁

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you’ll have a rethink on this matter 🙂 That would be great.

Have a good week, everyone

The second version at least has the advantage of being clearer and less of a tactical mess; I think it could be used as a basis.

In my opinion, it is possible to improve the current system slightly:

--> Have a sort of token system for each team to reduce the delay in implementing new instructions to 0 seconds, as currently happens during a substitution or at half-time.

For example, having 10–12 tokens per team, or 5–6 per half. This would, in a way, simulate the fact that the team is able to adapt to new instructions quickly, but that a certain number of times

Each team would be free to use them whenever they wish. This would offer a good compromise for trying to influence the outcome, whilst keeping the gameplay similar to how it works today. The number of tokens could be adjusted based on feedback from the first few matches.

But it’s clear that at present, between two active teams of similar standard, barring certain very specific moments, it’s extremely difficult to make a difference.

Mauvais idée! On va se retrouver avec des jetons payants au VFSTORE. Pendant que les mecs qui jouent gratuitement vont se retrouver avec des pubs pour Onlyfan ou autre ….

On a vu des matchs actifs VS actifs dépasser les 1 de xg ?

Il est clair, en tout cas, qu’on va avoir un regroupement de tactiques centrées autour de phj jeu direct, contre attaques et des attaques à 3 pour bourriner les côtés sur les matchs serrés si ca reste en l'état. C’est juste un paliatif miser sur un bridage du jeu naturel sur les côtés pour passer par là.

Ce sera le seul moyen de garantir un peu de déséquilibre pour contrer un adversaire dans ces cas de figure..

Le niveau des équipes va reprendre le pas sur le niveau tactique d'assez loin.
