In nearly every game I've played, the second alternative formation never kicks in, even when I have clearly set instructions to do so.
For example, in my latest game (http://www.teamhb.org/index.php?page=match&match_id=32073), I set one formation change to occur if my team was losing by 1-2 goals, 3-5 goals or 6+ goals after 20+ minutes. That happened. But I had another formation change to occur if my team was losing by 1-2 goals, 3-5 goals or 6+ goals after 40+ minutes. And even though the requirements were met, this second change never occurred. It probably wouldn't have made much difference to the result, but it is frustrating when tactical changes are completely ignored by the match engine, even when the criteria are right.
This is not a one-off either. It happens in nearly every game I play (because I really suck, although I'm doing OK in league games, mainly because nearly everyone else in my league sucks worse). Formation 1 triggers (though it's often late), but Formation 2 never does, even when the circumstances are right for it to do so.
I believe this is a serious bug that needs looking into. It probably hasn't made that much difference to the outcome of my games, but one day it could have a detrimental effect on a result. |

It's because the second formation supersedes the 3rd one and since you have the same orders for both formations the second one gets chosen (always). |

I don't have the same orders though!  One's for after 20 minutes, while the other is for after 40 minutes.
In other words, the way it ought to work is: if losing after X minutes (20 in my case), use the first alternative, seeing as the starting formation wasn't up to scratch. If still losing after X minutes (40 in my case), use the second alternative. Because if the first alternative isn't working and I'm still losing, then I want to try another one. So if it's not a bug, then the design is flawed. |

I had the same problem, Formation 2 doesn't play.
Here are my orders from today:
Starting formation
At the start of the game
Any score 30th+ minute
Formation 1
Any score 10th+ minute
Any score 40th+ minute
Formation 2
Any score 20th+ minute
Any score 50th+ minute
What could be wrong with that?
There are about 6 matches now since I can't use the 3rd lineup, I've tried a lot of intuitive orders... there is a bug or an unhandled feature (i.e. bug).
Please clarify this subject.
Thanks

Ok, but the previous game I've played with this:
Starting formation
At the start of the game
- 30th+ minute
Formation 1
- 10th+ minute
- 40th+ minute
Formation 2
- 20th+ minute
- 50th+ minute
And only Starting formation was used during the match.
How am I supposed to change the lineup in the "50th" minute at "any score"?
And what is the "Any score" for? How am I supposed to use it if not like
Any score Xth minute?
