Works great for top teams, no so for the rest

Has the site been really slow for anyone else last few days? Virtually unusable for me now.
Only just now, but manageable
All tactical changes are just pure logic and should have been part of the first engine they ever made lel. Increasing player position penalties might not appeal to everyone but i think it's a good change. Don't particularly fancy the new formations.
This bit means that the real top draw clubs like United will be even harder to beat.
Based on our communities feedback we have made several changes to how this works to that smaller clubs and those coming up through the divisions can remain competitive. This is because over time managers for example have built up a small club and turned them into a powerhouse. However, this success isnt reflected with their attendance or stadium capacity.
The maximum capacity of 24,000 is being lifted because we want attendances to be more dynamic and based on your success. This means your fan base will dictate any increases to your stadium which will be made by your Chairman at the start of a new season. It will not cost your club any money as the Chairman will pay for this.
So how will fan bases work? Well each club has a set fan base when a Game World is created. This fan base could increase over a period of time dependent on your success. However, the fan base will never increase to more than the highest fan base within your league. Likewise, just as a fan base will increase, it can also decrease if your club is underachieving.
We believe that this will be a welcome change because it is one that you, our community, have been asking for.
Hopefully it will balance out if you have superior tactics.This bit means that the real top draw clubs like United will be even harder to beat.
Don't get Litterbug started on this.
Thought never crossed my mind..Don't get Litterbug started on this.
Also:
Does that mean i could have my very own Old Trafford?
Looking forward to implement lop-sided 3-4-1-2 with attacking left wing-back, a tucked-in RCB, with 2 holding midfielders shielding the back three, a playmaker that dictates the play from deep ala Platini, a second striker roaming the space upfront and a target man capable of holding the ball and running in behind the defenders
Forgot to mention the sweeper
. Sounds like antohan's tactic from the chain draft. Edit: or mine from the euro draft.

When will these be introduced to all GWs? @RedSky
Hopefully never!
Next month, it's their 10 year anniversary apparently.
Seems so. Higher the fan base the bigger the stadium.Thought never crossed my mind..

Going to be touch and go whether it happens in time for the start of our season!
So who has sold out stadiums right now? Let's say Spurs win the league; will they get a stadium increase? If many of us get increased stadium sizes it could mean lower squad caps as well. Granted, that's the very long-term. More spread out talent distribution, yay LB.
About FFP; are we still discussing it? Maybe end of season is a better time.
Is there going to be any change in the player valuation, similar to test world?
Ye, forgot about that. And wages. Different chairman valuations as well. Did SM mention something about it being optional?
FFP would alter depending on size of stadium. So yes, when stadiums increase managers will need to alter their squad size.
Since Damien is going to win everything with the new system, I have decided to join LitterBug's revolution!
Not if I end up doing crap and my fanbase decreasesThought never crossed my mind..

Made player position penalties harsher. Examples include fullbacks not playing as well in a 3 man defense, wingers not playing as well one position infield from the wing etc.
That's going to be an interesting one as I'm positive that from most of the teams who play 352, at least one fullback is included.
Sounds like it'll be the right time for me to try going back to a back four

With your team?
Are they going to make formations realistic so that these 3-5-2 formations aren't God mode and one can move to normal formations?
I hoped to set some target next season, but with the change coming soon, I couldn't be bothered anymore
Probably be happy to just avoid relegation

yes, changing formations rarely goes well for meWith your team?
You'll be fine in Div 3 mate. You're going to get some good rating upgrades in the Winter review.
That's a very good change but it's going to feck me up. Either calls for a change in formation or some serious CB shopping.
It's strange how the arguably most used formation in the world; 4-2-3-1, is so ineffective in the game. At least for me. If/when i have 48 points i will try some incredibly illogical tactic, arrows everywhere, in a home-game and see what happens.
Not many good left-footed CB available
So with the relaunch happening next month, if it coincides with the start of next season my squad will probably look something like this.

Screaming mediocrity. Could be a long hard relegation battle next year at Old Trafford.
I've used 4-2-3-1 since I joined.
Took tranmere to div 2.
And with Fulham have had decent success with it. Lost the division 1 title twice on the last game of the season.
Vinny right? How the hell have I not noticed you in the thread yet? Strange.
