Which sport are you referring to?

>>76561831
any team game that isnt soccer

>>76561831
baseball of course. Jews love it, they own most of the MLB teams

Every major sport I can think of has varying formations. Baseball maybe not at the same level, but there's at least defensive shifts.

>>76561899
Ok so could you list them?
It's obvious for American football, but the others?
I can't see much variations for basketball, even less for hockey. Some sports even have fixed team formations (netball).
Football allows for literally 1 million different formations, you could more precisely say "space occupation, manipulation and positioning", because the sport has this unique feature of players being able to manipulate the relative game space in real time, inside an absolute game space (with the offside rule).

Am. Football, its pretty clear.

Basketball, a bunch of different defensive formations (though the distinctions are getting less clear these days), and a lot of different offensive schemes. It's pretty free-flowing and with a small playing space it's tough to say it's a formation as much as it is strategies or schemes, but there is a a lot of tactical distinction in how different teams set up.

I don't know shit about hockey, so I can't speak for that.

Baseball has defensive shifts, and maybe you can include batting order as part of positional strategy. Definitely the least tactical major sport, though.

Basketball's offensive formation are mostly just variation of one and other
5 out, 4-1, 3-2 are probably the most common ones but there are others and the plays you can run depending on who is on your team. on defense there is 2-3 zone 3-2 zone and man to man

Hockey has different formation but they're all in relation to the forecheck usually. Some teams play 1-2-2, some play 1-3-1, and they change on the fly quite often. Like if teams have a really mobile defenseman with good hands, they may opt to have him skate it out for the breakout, so it either turns into a 1-1-3 kind of, whereas other d-men will pass it up to a winger and hang back. Which brings me to my next point, some offensive systems allow for lots of rotating and shifting around the ice, as long as someone is filling the gap, you can have wingers on the point playing defense in the offensive zone. Especially on the powerplay. If you have a good cycle I've seen defenseman playing behind the net for good portions of a shift, because under their system they're kind of committed to that area once they go in and have to trust that someone else fell back to the point, and then when the pucks on the other side or something try to rotate back. You really don't see forwards switching positions with backs in soccer

Players manipulating the game space is probably more real a thing in hockey than in soccer. I actually played both at decent levels, and in hockey against good, hard hitting, fast teams, the ice would feel tiny and it would feel like you have no room at all

Not a forward, but you do see D-mids fill space in the back line if a CB is upfield for a set piece.

thats true, I guess when I played I never really had to worry about that

Every American sport of the big 4 has varying formations.

American Football has different offensive formations that aren't used and different defensive formations which are all used
Baseball has many shifts in order to combat batters that typically hit the ball to a certain area (this killed the career on one guy named Ryan Howard)
Hockey can change exactly like soccer
basketball has different offenses that utilize different formations (although you might have me here, I don't know that much about Basketball strategy)
