Hey all
Since i bought the game i've only been trying it out with Spurs (like i always do) and while with previous versions of the game - been playing it since 97/98 - i'm really starting to have the feeling that Spurs are a bit biased to perform bad, at least in the first season.
Now i know that many will praise SI for making such a realistic game - Spurs being in the bottom of the league in real life - but this cant really be said since whenever i take over, i buy more than 4-5 players, who i use in the first eleven frequently, plus 5-6 new coaches.
Players include Owen, Ryan Taylor, Downing, Joleon Lescott, Ignashevich.

I've also been trying the popular tactics being discussed in here, and visited the team guide for Spurs in the Good Player & Team Guide...Mid-Table is the best i can do with Spurs (i'm always talking about the first season only). I also tried my own tactics, and i pretty much suck at it. Any help from ANYONE who has been successful with Spurs - success being top four - is more than welcome, thank you.

ive just started a new game with spurs, played 3 won 3.

Only bought in Ignahevich (i think, is he the free Russian captain?) and van de vart

im usind 3 tactics from this forum, Mc'nuggets i think its JTKM or something like it and theres a 442 spurs tactic on here somewhere.

Ive tweaked the tactics slightly but only my set pieces.

Also, have you installed the beta patch? im using it and its alot easier than without it

yes i have been playing patched. Keep me informed since i too have had starts like that, only to suffer heavy defeats against the top clubs and weird 0-2 losses to mediocre clubs later on..
