So I'm playing career mode. Sometimes in the middle of a game, one of my half back players will just sprint to get ahead of the ball and run into the forward line and line up next to my full forward with no regard for his direct opponent. I messed around the tactics and set it so no backline player can play ahead of the ball. But he will still just charge into my forward 50 leaving a free man inside my defensive 50. Once it happens once in a game, it will continue to happen for the rest of game, even at center bounces. Once it's bounced, the player will just leave his opponent and sprint forward.
It's not a huge issue but it has cost me a game or two and would hate for it to cost me a grand final.
I’m pretty sure this is one of the selectable gameplay tactics.
Nah it's not. The closest thing to that is the spare player tactic and I have that set to play in defense if he's
I've seen the same issue too
Hey Benjamin, if you've got your positioning tactic set to offensive, your players are more likely to push up the ground in an attempt to create the outnumber. While this can work out great for you offensively it can leave your defenders exposed on turnover and is likely what you are experiencing. As for it happening at centre bounces, it's probably a tactic that could use some more fine tuning, and is something we'd like to address in the future. If you have any other questions feel free to let us know!
I understand if I had it set the positioning to offensive, but I have it on defensive
Hey Ben, thanks for clearing that up, I'll pass this on to the dev team and see if they can find what the issue might be!
