We all have troubles with AI and moan about our team beaten by a worse team even if we use our best tactical knowledge.

What is the factor that makes our team lose,is AI CHEATING or is it just the ability of the AI to out-flank our tactic and with a bit of luck win the game.

I will chose the second option...

But who makes the tactical changes of the team we are playing against to cope our tactic. Obviosly the opposing manager will have to make the tactic...

And there is a question for all of us...

Is there any conection of the manager ability and the tactics he uses on the field

What I want to say is there good and bad managers on the game or the AI of the game works the same for all the game-managers.

This means that if there are good and bad managers a bad-manager with a bad team will have no chance against our team
but a good manager with a worse side maybe have the ability to make and use a tactic that out-flank our tactic...

So if ser-alex-ferguson takes control of aston villa he maybe have the ability to beat our chelsea team...and vice versa if ALI BABA MAHMUD(just a random funny name...)
which by the game database is a low pontential manager takes control of bolton he will not have ta ability to make tactic that beat our tactic even if he is fortunated...

So do SI links AI-capabilities with managers in the FM series or there is a general ai that controls all the teams what do u think???

A good example is Newstle's manager, Roeder, he has 4 for tactical knowledge and he is always sacked by the first season.

interesting, it makes sense bacileios and you can't edit posts =S it's stupid =S!

retired_Myoplex

spot on, the same with allardyce with bolton, redknapp with portsmouth...its alright having the team but you gotta have a half decent guy that knows how to get the best out of them!

yes but how these teams behave when they play with your team. Do u notice worse teams with theorically bad managers getting results from your team??? Because if this happens frequently it means that the game uses a general AI when they play against your team and the tactics the opposite team uses are not based at the ability of the manager.

Personally i dont have any experience because i was never noticing who is the opposing manager when i was losing by a bad side and his ability but i plan to do it with the help of fm scout and see if there is any link with ai and managers or the game uses a general AI against you.

The goal is to understand how tha game plays against you

is it a combination of

GENERAL AI ABILITY +LUCK+TEAM RATING+XYZ factors(eg morale,fitness)= RESULT

or

AI MANAGER ABILITY+LUCK+TEAM RATING+XYZ factors=RESULT

I've seen Mourinho, Ferguson etc changing their tacics much more often in the game when I play against Chelsea and Man U. Twice I had Terry or Lampard after the game being "delighted at the comeback", saying Mourinho's words at 1/2 time inspired them to turn the game around.

The better managers will change their tactics more frequently than other managers.

Every manager in the game has a set of tactical attributes that determine how they play generally.

Better managers have a highter tactical knowledge attribute which you can see on there profile in game. The higher it is the quicker the AI will adapt to the situation.

All other factor such as league position, form, venue, morale and any media interaction will cause an offset in the AI managers tactial approach.

You can witness how AI managers behave, by doing the following:

1. Add a new manager.
2. Through the new manager, click view on your next match.
3. Go on holiday with the old manager.
4. Click continue until you get to the match.
4. Change user to the old manager.
5. go to the league or whatever competition you are playing next and click view on your match.

This way you can see yourself.
