"A wide array of default formations will be available..."

The tactics screen has always been a success in Champ Man but BGS is making subtle improvements. As well as adding arrows for players to make runs, managers will now be able to add further arrows instructing players where to play the ball, into the channels for instance. So if the opposition is playing three at the back, you can instruct midfielders to play it wide for someone to run on to. A wide array of default formations will be available, with plenty of scope for tampering by those of a more tactical persuasion.

A big criticism of previous versions of CM is that your players often didn’t appear to be following any of your prescribed tactics. A new approach to the match engine will ensure that this area will be noticeably improved.
