Re near-post flick-ons:

Pardon the dumb question, but do you put the good jumper at the near post or put someone else there to flick it to the jumper? I've got Zigic, who at 6'8" with great jumping, heading, and strength scores lots of goals in the run of play, but surprisingly few on corners and free kicks (which was my original idea in signing him). I've had him challenging the keeper and lurking outside the box -- should I put him at the near post?

Near post

retired_wh0isj3ss3

Set him to near post, your strongest player to challenge GK, rest attack far post OR outside area. Thats how I do it anyways. Hope it helps. Scores lots.

In reply i am playing as Real Madrid, but in fairness its 2012, the squad is pretty good. The previous season with Mourinho in charge they finished 14th.

I will see how the season pans out, obviously i am only in 2 competitions but so far i am unbeaten and have had wins over sides that are full of class players like Valencia, Barca and Athletico Madrid.

I may just be a one off, if it lasts all season i will post the results and the tactic and someone else can see if it works for them. The good thing the only thing i tweak from game to game and during is the time wasting.

right so basically if you have a tip that you always do even if its low creative freedom on defenders, just write it

mine would be cross to far post (great find crazy!)

Care to explain your do's and dont's? because it could be due to the rest of your tactics as to why it works

Do - always keep a deep defensive line, so long as you dont play couter attack, since it doesnt leave a massive gap between the defence and midfield, yet keeps the oppo's forwards outside of the area, making them take more long shots than short. (always works well for me)

Dont - make a radical tactical change half way through a match. in my experience, it ALWAYS results in my team playing worse.

Registered: 07 March 2007 Posted 05 May 2007 00:06 i'm sorta out of some lol i will be posting a lot of other peoples ideas that i find, not to hog the glory but to help people like myself before i understood tactics,

just remembered one, with your wingers, make them tackle easy and high closing down (it will keep them tight to opposing wingers without commiting them to a tackle, so they won't get past as much

Registered: 07 March 2007 Posted 05 May 2007 00:09 how could i forget cross to near post from corners and have your best headerer to "near post flick on" and the 2nd best to "challenge keeper" extra 10 goals a season and about 5 assists

Registered: 21 October 2006 Posted 05 May 2007 00:42 if u have a striker with loads of pace and acceleration eg oba martins. then i use target man with 'run onto ball' setting and forward runs, run with ball and attacking sliders right the way up. works wonders

well if you go to player instructions for martins and its the first slider, mentality i think it is. just drag tha slider up to attacking (as far as it will go) and then run with ball and forward runs exactly the same.

Registered: 14 July 2006 Posted 05 May 2007 05:49 do: play a target man, if i have a suitable player (almost always have one)

don't: ignore what the AI is doing. if in 'key' highlights i watch the formation screen, and counter things like the dreaded 4-2-4 'desperation' formation rather than just letting the game play itself.

Registered: 21 October 2006 Posted 05 May 2007 10:27 if your have a defensive midfielder (i use parker in my toon game) then have high closing down, plus have him holding up the ball thus allowing the rest of the team to get forward so an attacking pass can be made.

parker has an average rating of 7.92 on mine

retired_mss82

using these hints please could some one make me a tactic doesnt matter what formation but maybe 3-4-3 cheers

retired_Myoplex

why should someone make a tactic it won't take 10 minutes for you to make it and the sense of "i did this" is much better then the sense of "someone did this"

retired_fritz637

i agree, its all about creating a tactic thats right for you and your team. depending on what type of players are at your club and who you are playing. i tweak my tactics from game to game depending on who im playing.

retired_Myoplex

i used to download tactics but wasn't as good! now if i'm doing bad i'll download a recommended tactic and adjust it to my settings or add bits from threads like these, when this thread stops getting people writing in it i'll some up what everyone has said in a list

retired_wh0isj3ss3

I use Man Marking instead of zonal. I find it way more effective, at least in the lower leagues.
