fair play i tried his tactics and it worked for a while after changing tactics four or five times a match. Still trying to come back from the one shot on goal they have had and scored. I don't want to be coming back from 0-1 down every match especially when swansea win 5-3 and they only have 7 shots on target! i simply dont understand the game. i score... they score regardless of who i am playing or what tactic i am playing. are they bringing out an update to sort all this out, i am not a bad loser, i am currently 9th in the league with leeds won more games than anyone else but i am sick of going 1 behind and chasing a game and either wining near the end or them drawing near the end.
I sound like i am moaning and i know i am, but the game is not even enjoyable anymore, i will set my tactics to exploit the opposition without leaving myself open but they always seem to score first or get a draw!
It just p****s me off coz i get sooo frustrated i feel like smashing the computer up and its only a game! a poo one but its still a game, back to FM 07 for me!
I agree with what your saying, it appears that how tactic is beating the opposition but the scores don't reflect it. Why change when we're creating so many chances? I don't know.
There is not another patch coming out until Febuary and even then i don't know if SI will address this problem because they have the same mindset as the fanboys and blame it on our tactics.
I feel in some senses that the game has become too advanced in relation to the knowledge of the gamer and this is due to a lack of information. Reading the frustrations in several posts does indicate that something has to be done as there are many that are struggling. Thanks andysafc for giving me credit for a good argument, but I hope it doesn't spark off the assumption that I am on a quest to justify how the game has become and the game makers behind it. We need some information that makes sense. From my own past experience I learnt to play the game by comming to this forum, I was seeking information, because at one point my normal routines weren't working anymore and wanted to know why. I stumbled on some great posts by wwfan, abramovic, cleon, rashidi1 and a few others I forget the names of. Even though they might appear different, they have the same ideology of making their respective teams to play as much as a unit as possible.
I will feel a little pressured if my tactics are the last station before the game hits the garbage can, because I would like to think that there is still room for improvement. I have relative success but I can't be sure that I #1: other gamers will feel it is sufficient success, #2 that there isn't a better alternative tactically. There must be a simpler way of doing things, and we might just not have stumbled on them yet. Lot's of the heavy duty guru's haven't even been out yet so I'm counting on some revolutionary theories popping up in the near future. I was thinking that when you're in the editor a lot of managers have a perferred formation, a secondary formation, an attacking and a defensive formation. You can basically use the formations as platforms to whether you are atttacking or defending because those are the basic ideologies we will be changing during the matches. There are no "magical combinations" on the sliders but general directions. I don't understand that no one has made a post about the sliders and how they work. What I have done in simple terms is to try to get the best out of what we have with the knoweldge that I have retrieved and my own observations of the match machine...
I'm still trying to figure out the matchengine. I have not found any way to get my players close down the oposition, while the ai is able to close down heavily. My players tend to drop deep and just wait . Quite frustrating if you try to apply an aggresive aproach at home.
As I've mentioned a lot in this thread I'm not able to get my team to play aggresive. When I play teams coming out very agressive against me (Push everyone forward except the central defenders) and try to counter, you can bet on the Inspector Gadget central defenders on the opposition team to get the ball on every attempt. It's written all over that you are left no chance.
Same happens at end of games you have the lead and the computer goes 4-2-4. Every attempt to counter is killed because of defenders on opposition team with telescope legs.
