Hi everyone
A video preview of the new match engine can be found here:

10 of the 12 Tactical Sliders are quickly demonstrated in the video (the other 2 we are still working on). These are:
Mentality: Changes the mentality of any players whose individual mentality is set to ‘team’ to attacking, defending or mixed
Philosophy: How much a team will hold their formation when attacking (Rigid) versus being happy to move away from set positions in the formation (Fluid)
Tempo: How much urgency the team has to move the ball up the pitch and ‘make something happen’ versus trying to keep possession of the ball and being more willing to pass it backwards in order to do so
Passing Style: Whether the team will look to make longer passes or if they will primarily focus on shorter passing
Passing Focus: Whether the team wants to focus their passing in wide areas of the pitch or through the centre
Passing Freedom: Whether the team will make their passes directly to teammates feet or if they will be willing to pass the ball into space for their teammates to run onto
Attacking Width: Should the team look to position it’s players more narrow or with more width when attacking
Defensive Width: Should the team look to position it’s players more narrow or with more width when defending
Defensive Line: How deep/high will the team hold it’s defensive line.
Closing Down: Will your team look to press the opposition player who has the ball more aggressively
Current progress as well as the upcoming ME testing that users can get involved in is discussed in the latest podcast can be found here:
