I've created a macro script for us CPU vs CPU players (or should I say watchers!!), it can be timed to every 5 or 10 mins or so to delve into the menus, temporarily give the "human" a side to control, it then shows the Team Management screen to show the CPU formation that was in use, grabs an nVidia Alt F1 screenshot, then switches the human controlled side to be the other side and the Team Management screen gets shown again, another screenshot is grabbed. At the end of the macro sequence it then sets it back to CPU vs CPU and the match restarts. It was tricky setting this up as the game automatically pauses if an application outside of the FC 25 game window (which needs to be in borderless windows mode) is started, but within the macro key presses it has a final mouse cursor click into the game window and a final key press to get the match started again.
The Macro sequence length is round 40 seconds or so.
With the timing I have set for the macro to repeat itself for the whole match running from a separate batch script, I can leave the screen, go make a nice cup or Tea (other drinks are available...), have some food, and come back to a finished match, with a set of screengrabs which tell the "story of the match".
I have managed to start a full 20 mins Real Madrid vs Real Madrid match that starts on default formations, and by the end of the match as the goals flow, the CPU side losing is often but not always showing to be using 4-1-2-3 or 4-2-1-3 (often one followed by the other with minutes in between), and the winning side often sets itself to 4-1-4-1 to see out the match. Its proving that the CPU changes its formation at least, and its quite organic in that the formation doesnt always immediately change for a CPU side if they go 1 goal down or 1 goal up, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't change quickly.
If anyone is interested I can upload the macro to here and give instructions for its use.
