re: The realism that is Football Manager 17

i used to love the game, even logged a ton of hours into 17, but i find PES 2017 to be better because i can actually recruit guys for how i want them to play and use them that way. football manager my players do way too much dumb shite. yes as a winger i want you to make risky passes, however i dont want you to kick it directly into 4 people on the other team when we have our entire team pushed up to support the attack, pass it around and then we'll find an opening. i hope they include more freedom in the individual instructions next year because right now its all based on the team approach. you cant even have an advanced playmaker that takes shots when he has an opening, its locked into take fewer shots. so you have to switch him to CM-Attack, which doesnt sit in the hole like a playmaker would
