First off, let me say Im really not a fan of these kind off topics, but I am that "desperat".
My main problem has allways been the defensive aspect of the game. I joined FM-britain, quite possibly the best fm site out there. They offered me an understanding of the game, and I love the site, but my defensive issues are still there. I use the "normal" settings for my defenders, low closing down and creative freedom, pluss tight- and man marking. But despite this I am still struggling. The opposition often just hoof the ball up, and this gives my defence all kinds of trouble with the one or the two strikers that stayed up. In general the opposing strikers manage to find tons of space behind my defence. And the crosses the other teams produce very often lead to goals.
And another problem;
tactics loosing their effect. I started up a new game with West Ham, first game in the PL is against Bolton at home. I dominate Bolton and play entertaing football. I win 3-0, the following games also turn out pretty good. But after 4-5 games, as allways, my tactics completely loose their effect. At home where I played beatiful football, the only offense I have to offer is hoofed balls up top, despite the fact that I have the passing set to "short". Everything falls apart for some reason.
Help?
