Default Getting really annoyed with fm2007 now.

On paper, my sides have been far better. Yet no matter what tactic i try, average age of squad, happyness of team, i still find i can't do **** all.

I loved playing cm/fm up until this version.

<LI> I've tried loads of tactics yet it doesn't do jack.

<LI> I've tried having an average age of 26+ in my squad, and high morale levels at the start of the season. Soon drops off.

<LI> Even when playing the worst side in the division, i never feel like i'll win.

I feel like packing it in, and forgetting about bothering with fm2008. Its not fun anymore.

try playing with counter attack ticked for a season!

you might be setting your teams up too defensively and counterattack may help!

i went through a phase where i put my defense on defensive ment and mids on normal etc. but when i checked my style in my profile it was always cuatious or v. cautious! which always had me under pressure and conceding at will almost. so you can up the mentalities to around 10 for your defenders and take it from there (it can make a huge difference) or go counter attack (yes even at home)! they may both work! dunno who you go though! but you can try that as a base!

Help.

But i just don't understand the morale thing.

It started off high, now its rock bottom????

Put it this way:

First Seven games of this season:

P7 W4 D2 L1
GF 16 GA 9 a fair start.

Lose the next game then it all goes wrong:

P8 W1 D4 L3
GF11 GA13 ????? What the hell is going on?

Got a team with an average age of 28. Good determination and workrate throughout the side, and yet this happens time & time again.

Any ideas?

Just checked my profile and it says Very Cautious as well.

I play 4-4-2 home and away??? With the mentality around normal. Is that cautious?

What team are you playing with for a start?

what may be happening is that your team win a lot of matches so that changes the way other sides look at you. They see you as more of a threat and start playing with more respect towards you.

As a result you cannot play the same way that you were playing because the AI has amended its strategies to meet your tactic.

You also need to look at the AI formation and see how he is playing against you, is it attacking, defensive or what? Is his side generally better than yours or a weaker side looking for a counterattacking defensive minded 1-0 win? That will give you an idea of how to play against him.

If you want I'd suggest maybe starting a new game and I'll talk you through how to build a tactic.

Basically you build your tactic and save it bt also make sone variations of it to address the needs of each particular game you are playing.

You might have a standard home tactic, a more desperate goal chasing tactic, a defensive minded counterattacking tactic ffor hard away games, and a more aggressive minded tactic for away games against weaker teams.

and a close up shop tactic to counter the 4-2-4.

try counterattack then for a few games! its because of what i said! up your mentalities otherwise!

if your morale is dropping like that then your giving bad teamtalks or your assman is! be more lenient. if your unlucky and get beat by the 1 shot 1 goal syndrome, sympathise because otherwise you've played ok!! believe me, i go through phases sometimes when i just keep slating them but it usually doesnt help nothing and it gets better being less strict, your team will respect you more and end up playing better for you because morale is still up!

Why all these tactics?

My brother plays with two tactics..Home & away.

He just won the prem for the forth time.

And too be honest, i haven't the time to keep tweaking the tactics week in week out.

I'm Southend by the way.
