Brilliant work man

just one question about swapping positions

i usually play a 433 with the wingers in the highest position and in an ideal situation all my forwards can play in any forward position and in that situation i want them all to rotate. Now for the question: if i set my FL to swap with the FC and the FC to swap with the FR and the FR to swap with the AMC and the AMC to swap with the FL... still following?? will this work??

i tested it and sometimes it does or it seems to but most of the time it doesnt

thx in advance

Excellent. I can totally see where you're coming from, and obviously I wansn't trying to suggest that these things should be set in stone. It's just, like I say, I do have quite an aversion to extremes on the sliders, simply because that's not really my way of doing anything. However, if I come unstuck, I at least have a few alternatives to try and experiment with.

Another question.

You talk at length at how you set up individual instructions and your team instructions apart from one crucial point - team mentality.

Now, when I first started using RoT and later RoO (or, like I say, somewhere in between) I always left the t. ment. slider slap bang in the middle. Do you do the same? I ask because since discovering that t. ment. overides (sorry, compliments) i. ment. in terms of the overall feel of the side, I've not really felt the need to overly change my individual mentalities once I've got the spacing right.

Do you use the team mentality slider, or are you more happy solely using individual instructions to attack and/or defend? </BLOCKQUOTE>

I ignore team mentality as everybody is on individual mentalities, so it is slap bang in the middle. I'm still not convinced about the complimenting theory. As far as I can see, individual overrides team.

No idea, but it is an interesting method.

One more thing.

Your team passing equals the MC passing with the defs +2/+5 and atts -2/-5.

Would you say that in a home tactic it would be +2 and -2 as your team is higher up the pitch?

And in the away tactics it could be:
away +5/-5
attacking away +4/-4
hypo away +3/-3
tnx

Individually it does override team slightly, however they still work in tandom and both the options do 2 different things if you read the manual. Team one instructs the players how to play, the individual one is a positional and agression tool.

It seems a good enough theory. If you could test it and post back with some conclusions I would be more than grateful.

wean, I seem to have trouble bossing possession of a game and also pass percentage. This is happening even though I am winning games, but I am finding I have trouble with possession even against lesser teams.

Do you find your teams boss possession? If so can you advise how I can adjust me tactics?

At the moment I have a short passing game with a slow tempo (playing with Leeds). Width is to clicks passed middle if that helps.

I'll give you guys something to think about. For me the answer to this is the match engine, playing anything behind the oppostion defenders.



I'll add that Ars had a penalty given. Sorry if this post is untidy.

:cool:

And the result. Ars has a dubious penalty given. FA went silent.

returning on the passing:

the +2/-2 option gave better stats in posession and passing ratings in any tactic than the +5/-5 , which was to be expected. As the tactical framework does not alter, the relative space between players is approx the same in any tactic, home or away. Passing, or better relative passing, can be the same in any tactic.
Better results could be found in shifting the MC/team passing. My take on it is that MC/team passing is relevant to the tactic. Shorter/Slower at home and slightly faster (mixed/normal) for away with alterations for the amount of defending. This would give (Def/Mid/Att):
Home: mixed/short/short
Hypo: mixed/mixed/short
AttA: mixed/mixed/mixed
Away: direct/mixed/mixed

Not concluded all testing but it seems obvious for my team (and should be altered for better/worse teams).

The home tactic seems to be a killer, the aways are a lot of fun as you (i) change back and forth in tactics on away games.
