Problem with defense formations

[PuskasPancho]

Hi,

I don't know if it is a glitch or not, but I have a problem with the formations.

I play 4-3-3, yet when I'm out of possession, my team switches to 4-4-2 in defense. I have checked it and fluid formations are turned off as well as auto trigger settings, plus I have also set the custom and the defensive formation to 4-3-3, yet the situation didn't change.

As far as I've seen, every PES 2015 team plays 4-4-2 out of possession, regardless of the formation set in game plan.

I just figured out the game plan! Fluid formation stuffs!
Ok u go to tactical option and turn on fluid formation! U can choose Defensive or Custom of ur preset tactic! If u choose Custom, ur preset tactic! There is always 3 points ( just called it point) Kick Off, Out Possession, In Possession of Defensive and Custom of Fluid Formation! So u either choose Custom or Defensive! And each of this two u can fix 3 points in there! So that is what I firgured out but I don't know if it right or wrong! I'll test play tomorrow!

Yeah but any solutions ? In PES 2013 if I set 4-3-3 for the formation, then I could also defend in 4-3-3. PES seems rather regressing than progressing over the years.

I've found the solution for this as well. I didnt notice that when you move the right stick while having fluid formations turned on you can set the formations for 'kick off' and 'out of possession', or to be precise you not only can but you have to, otherwise it will be 4-4-2 by default, even if you have fluid formation turn off. This shouldnt be so because if you have fluid formation turned off, that means you don't want your team structure to be changed during the match.
