Could this not also happen if you spent days inputting every European clubs correct tactics. They just switch on the fly to a preset depending on the current state of the game in the same way that the user controlled team can.

Based on my experience from past years, they won't 100% of the time play as the tactic you set for them, however they seem to for the majority of the time. Things changed based on the score, time remaining, etc. However, still seems like it might be worth the time.

Yep—pairing all tactics with specific player instructions. Do they work as well as they should (defensive midfielders bombing forward)? Nope, but they work enough it seems.
