I've been saying this for the past 3 years but actually never had time to do it, however this year I think I will have the time.

I am thinking of doing a game on holiday mode for 1 season, I won't take control of a team I will leave them all to the AI. I will do just the Premiership to begin with as thats less work for me. I would then each week post all the PKM's of the matches but go into detail about the best matches played from that week and discuss what tactics the AI used, how it befited and discuss exactly how games were won and lost.

So basically it would be like Match Of The Day but for FM. But for this it would rely heavily in you lot taking part. If I did something like this, how many would join in with the discussions?
So in essence, its like a tactic review/analysis. I would always look to join in with the discussion, as such things pick up on the smallest of things which may not have been thought upon, etc. Nice idea, I ran something like it on Susie, but I take it yours will be more detailed and you will carry on after the first one </BLOCKQUOTE>

I've done them before just not on here. But yes it will be detailed I hope, each week id look at a different team in depth. Hopefully a lot of people will join in off here, it would give us some great talking points and be a good way to understand more about the match engine.

It's just crossed my mind... People often want and try to replicate some real football tactics in FM but realtively rarely have success. So it could be usefull to have discussions on real life - game tactic translations, at least for the most famous tactics (i.e. Barca, W-M, Arsenal-style, etc.). What do you think?

Cleon,

Sorry, did not read your previous post carefully. I thought you are talking about W-M only.

I would like a discussion on a real-life tactic as well, like I know Diaby off fm-britain is planning on a Milan style tactic for FM08, maybe on these forums we could have a Rijkaard style tactic or smething

Yes, but the problem is people are often lost in translation . Many threads I have read on similar subject lack one thing - step by step approach to replicate the tactic. That is people either develop something that work great, say, for Arsenal in the game though quite different from Arsenal's real life style, or get frustrated settings that look like Arsenal's real life tactic don't work in the game.

Btw, step by step approach does not mean posting final product for download, but rather systematic discussion how to implement some small details (i.e. Lemman's horrible mistakes ).

There is nothing stopping anyone creating a discussion like that, if they choose to create one

If 08 is anything like 07 feedback wise, I think a thread dedicated to identifying the CAUSES of problems rather than the solutios would be most helpful.
