Till now we couldn't choose it in the lineup page, and they didn't mention that they put it in in the news.

Is it cancelled? Or do they still want to test it in the PL first(which i think would be good, because of real lineups in comparisions to the scrimmages). or did it come the next days?

It's in the news as being introduced - but I still can't set them on the lineup page (not that I'm necessarily using that tactic, if you're reading this bomby)

Now we can use isolation and box-and-one on every game.
However, in the news released today they say both inside and outside focus would be available but only the outside option is available.

What I took this to mean is that the tactics can either have an outside or inside player be the one isolated or be the one guarded with the extra "one" in the box and one. In most pro leagues (in America anyway) isolation sets are almost always run by a guard or occasionally a small forward. I think this offense will simply isolate your best offensive player regardless of position and the box and one will guard the opposition's best player according to the game engine.

Correct me if I'm wrong

They're a bit risky to play these tactics...

I'd prefer to see some tactics like Phil Jackson's Triangle offence or some of the common Zone Killer offences.

Personally, I really feel that the game should grow more into a tactics based game than a buying/selling based game.
