Its very annoying how superior 4231/433 are

FM24 is my first FM, so for a long time I used a plug & play 4231 or 433, gegenpress, wingbacks ect. ive sunk a LOT of hours into this game. Graduated to all kind of 343's, 442, 3241, 424 ect. ect. And since FM25 has been delayed ive wanted to try out a new system since im bored, i really fixated on Cruyffs 343 diamond. I tinkered for days with the tactic until i found something that would work in theory. I started a new save with the idea of using a 4231, then buy players to fit the system, happy days. It was terrible. The system doesnt work, like at all. I tinkered again, for days, save-scumming until i figured it out, nothing working. I looked at YT videos, websites, trying every ingame method under the sun. Nothing. I think 'No bother', and start doing a Peps Bayern 2341. Tinkering, tinkering, and boom, Its cool, pretty good, still not even close to the 4231 despite having significantly better players. Whats even the point? Its lame how one specific tactic can have us playing like prime Barca but any other were bang average (where we should be). Next year im staying as far away from the meta as I can so i never know how good my team COULD be playing lmao.

edit: Never said 4231 is the only good tactic, never said ive only used 4231. Ive used lots of tactics. Read before you get toxic in my comments x
