• Dissatisfaction with "Pay-to-Win" Ultimate Team modes. Many modern football games force you into using rare cards (3-4-3 or 5-2-3 formations) rather than the balanced 4-4-2.
• Nostalgia for 1990s/2000s football. The 4-4-2 era dominated Premier League and Serie A. Games like Sensible Soccer and Championship Manager 01/02 used 4-4-2 as default.
