Need to see more info but perhaps even with 32 million in the bank the forecast with player wages, stadium improvements, training facility improvements etc the money wont be enough by the end of the season??

I found that it was the other way round. I felt 07 was far more random than 08, far more silly mistakes leading to goals, way more amazing comebacks from the AI etc. In 08 im beating the teams I'm expecting to beat, and losing the games I expect to lose, with a few random ones thrown in. Feels much better to play.

(I'm not considering the finance bug and confidence bug here though lol)

1)Have a read of the tactics section in the manual

Nothing helps in that, it explains what things do in my opinion, which is why we require people testing and and giving tips on the tactics forum.

2) try a slow tempo to avoid players rushing / snapping at chances

Tried this, does not work imo. I cannot see why tempo should have any effect anyway, it is used to open up the opponent, high tempo should not mean players rush SHOTS, it is passing tempo. The shooting bit should go from being tactics to player skills

3) reduce the number of players taking long shots

Bugged and a known issue AFAIK, nothing you do will stop even a defensive mid like Gilberto hitting non stop shots from long range, reducing the supply to the strikers where things are dangerous. Take this into account when making threads (Original poster not you Pompey . As this bug has the double effect of making people thing they are never going to score, when in fact they are not making good chances AND of stopping good chances being created.


4) consider if your strikers have the best stats, finishing is not the only attribute

5) consider if your formation makes the best use of you squads skills

6) teams say a goal down will go all out attack, how do you cope with this. Its easy to see from teams formation seen on pitch esle from formations tab during game. Perhaps look to go ultra defensive, play a 5 man midfield, time waste, dont close down so the team's defensive shape remains

Sure , the shots are 25-1 and you still have to read the tactics section .
The matter is clear , the engine needs fixing and goalkeepers should have a cap of maximum saves that should never be more than 5 .
