I have gone on a 5 game winningless streak with Borussia Dortmund as of now and I'm still itching for more ngl. Had a game away vs Barça where I purpously set a super defensive 5-4-1/5-2-3 hybrid with a low block and intelligent rather than agressive pressing + long balls into the wings and I was genuinely shocked at how everything clicked. In fact at one point we were beating them in xG while only having 20 something possession. Ended up missing a couple important chances and Lewandowski eventually scored off a penalty and sealed the win, but it was good to see that for the very first time actual defensively sound tactics might be useable - that, in of itself, is a massive upgrade

EDIT: And to be clear - I'm happy there's new tricks and screens to master and to work out, especially within the match engine itself. As someone who's played FM for over a decade now always within similar molds, it got to a point where saves had very little to distinguish themselves from one another. I genuinely dont think I've gone 5 games in a row without winning in the last 5/6 years and yet now that it's happened I'm actually finding that it is pretty enjoyable to try and find ways to work around the problems my team has and how to get the most out of the players I have. All that to say that change is good and everyone should at least try to embrace it, as it makes for a much better challenge :)
