FIFA 15: Team Management Details Revealed

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports has revamped the team management in FIFA 15, with quite a few ways to manage squads and team sheets across all game modes.

Customize up to six different Team Sheets per club and alter your strategy based on your next opponent, the changing tactics in-game and fitness of your players. Get your favorite team playing the way *you* want them to play.

Team Sheets are available in Career Mode, Match Day (Kick-Off), Online Friendlies, and Tournaments.

Instructions

Up to five attacking and defending player instructions can be applied to each of the ten outfield players. These instructions let you manage the attacking runs and defensive positions players take on the pitch and gives you deeper customisation options for how your team sets up.

Formations

Preset formations for any of your custom squads and pick the best to take on your next opponent.

Roles

Set roles like captain, set-piece and penalty takers for each of your squads.

Tactics

Set a default Team Tactic to each of your Team Sheets so your gameplan is locked before hitting the pitch. Or go deeper and add custom tactics to any of your line-ups.

What do you think of the new team management screens?

So if I'm getting this right, I can have my "A" and "B" team squads set up with different tactics?

If that's right, this is a monster - awesome change. Wonder how it will affect the custom tactics projects?

I like this, a lot.
But, so much wasted screen space by having half the screen be the team logo. Pointless.

[Murph]

I've been hoping for the ability to save customized squads and formations for a while. A great addition!

Finally, I have always hated Fifa's team management screen compared to the other game.

I wonder what "adjust position" means in the picture at the top. Maybe you can now change a player's position to whatever you want. Probably not but it would be nice.

Let's hope that we'll be getting more additions to FIFA like this. I appreciate what they tried to do with the GTN last year improvements like this are what he game desperately needs.

This is great, about time they expanded the depth at which you can setup your team management/tactics.

I just hope you can save more than the very limited amount (26 custom tactics in FIFA14?) that you could save in 14. And like Oulzac brought up, why waste half the damn screen on a club logo, why not expand the info you see on the RHS, maybe showing more detailed player season stats & attributes/form/happiness/contract info etc?

I'd love the ability to see my player stats (season totals, league/competition totals & maybe last 5 or 10 match stats/form when making lineup decisions, instead of having to back out to a totally different menu.
