Help What is the 4-4-2 Bug

[DaBla27]

Hi,

Sorry but I am relatively new to these forums and I have a read in a number of posts, something to do with a 4-4-2 bug.  Anyone care to explain?

The 442 bug is where AI teams revert to the 442 formation a lot during a match.

I see.  So is that a bad thing in the game as in it affects scores or anything or is it just the fact that it's unrealistic?

It impacts everything if every team uses the same formation. It impacts how matches go, how formations fair, realism and just about everything is impacted by it.

Fair enough I can see your point.  I bought FMM16 when it was released but only started playing it this month, strange I know but just didn't find the time.  Now I'm aware of this no doubt ill see it all the time....or for the next few days until FMM17 comes out (on the assumption it's not in FMM17 that is).

Thanks for the update.

It is one those bugs that once you notice it you always do and you can't ignore it lol.
