team mentality is, yes, broken

The real mystery to me was the one I posted earlier where I was playing player locked and went to All Out Attack and my team acted like I was asking for Park the Bus. I'm sort of scared to use the quick control tactics in my career mode now.

That is strange and concerning for sure. I don't use player lock myself but I notice my AI players don't really change their behaviour as much as I'd like when I switch to park the bus or all out attack. Part of me thinks it has to do with the new "instructions tab" for individual players and that the two are overriding each other. For instance my fullbacks are on always overlap, but when I park the bus they should stay back, they don't. I have to go in and change those instructions as well.

Also if anyone can figure out how to get your CDM to stop joining every attack even when he's set on stay back while attacking you'll be my hero.

I've thought of the instructions tab as well although I have not used them yet. There seem to be too many variables right now. It's tough for the user to understand which gets precedence.

I think I'm going to avoid the quick tactics for my career mode for now. I guess there is nothing I can do about what the AI does for the cpu team though. I'm going to try and keep a close eye on them to see when these moments kick in. Maybe there is some sort of workaround or it's only happening on a particular difficulty level or match score.

It would be nice if EA could patch it, but I won't hold my breath for that. The crazy thing is this last patch had notes that said it fixed a bug in team mentality. Obviously, things are not completely sorted out in this area.

Im just tired of the cpu teams never changing their formations depending on their personnel. If the CPU is going to go out and bring in cavani when they already have aguero and jovetic then you would think they would run some sort of offense with two strikers up top. No of course not, just stick with the 4-2-3-1 and bring aguero and jovetic off the bench which I highly doubt they even play that much. Same as liverpool, they should always be playing Balotelli and Sturridge up top always! And why does every team in the BPL play that 4-2-3-1 formation?

Ridiculous. If this was working properly, what is the deciding factor on whether a CPU team considers itself an underdog or favorite? Position in the table? Overall team rating?

I was playing with Leeds last night. I was at home vs. Brighton. Brighton went into attack during a tie game with around 10 minutes left. I would think an away draw would be fine for them there, but they are ahead of me in the table right now.

Yeah the AI really needs to do a better job of either buying players they actually need to fit the formation, or changing their formation as you suggest.

I was wondering (and I may actually test this tonight when I get home) if you create additional team sheets for the AI teams before you start your career, and use custom rosters to import then, will the CPU select different formations because then they would have multiple team sheets to pick from?

Knowing that it is FIFA, I kind of doubt it, however I was wondering if anyone tried this to see if it works.

Of course this would kind of a be a big pain in the *** to set up teams with multiple team sheets anyway, although you can create a few standard formations and import them to other teams pretty easily.

More issues with this last night. If anyone plays with player lock on, it can really mess you up. Match was tied late and I tried to send my team into attack to get the win. My teammates took the ball to the corner flag to kill time.

I don't think this is isolated to player lock. Most likely if you are controlling the players yourself, you might not even notice your team was in 'park the bus' since you are moving the ball forward.

This situation just goes along with how the cpu team will also sometimes 'park the bus' when it is behind. All in all, it's a mess.
