I like the way my teams play using Global Mentality, but finding it hard to get any consistency. Has anyone had any real succuss using GM?

Yes

Absolutely, although a find that a defensive mentality needs at least one forward with an attacking mentality to offer an outlet pass.

I also agree that your team benefits from a global mentality, assumingly because they are all on the same wavelength and playing as a team rather than 11 individuals. The build-up play seems a lot more crisp in my experience.

I have had good success using GM managing to get Birmingham to 5th place just 4pts off 4th spot. I always stick to GM regardless if im doing good/poor although I am a bit perplexed as to why I will keep say 5 clean sheets on the trot to then suddenly open the floodgates and start to concede 8 goals in 3 games etc.

yes i am currently using one of rashids tactics which uses global mentality. the passing is great and the team seems to gel much faster.

I almost use GM and it definitely works, it simply means according to the manual that your players will be equally spaced up through the pitch.

consistency in fm07? rofl.

It can, but beware. I noticed that by playing a global attacking system, my centre backs would rush forward from a goal-kick leaving me horribly exposed at the back. In all honesty, I now feel that having mentalities very close together is more effective.

In a 4-4-2

DEFENSE: First notch of defensive
MIDFIELD Normal for CM, first notch of defensive for DM, first notch of attacking for WGs
STRIKER 1: Normal mentality (sits a little deeper)
STRIKER 2: First notch of attacking

I find that the more extreme you have your mentality settings, the easier it is for the opponent to play through you.
