:thup: ashyr! i'm newcastle and i'm testing my tactics and i have red star belgrade in the uefa cup, as you do!, and the first time i won 2-0, wasn't happy with my attacking tactic thouhg, second time i quit the game at 87th minute at 4-4 (King Kev lives on!) and the 3rd time after re-reading your thread i tweaked my tactics so that i had my own stuff but with a few of your suggestions (i.e. before i would go massive closing down on everyone except gk and cb, and i won 4-0, on 20 minutes i noticed they had a long farrows on wingers so was gonna go defensive, then i scored, so i went defensive and at 4-0 they went defensive so i attacked them the last 20 minutes cheers ashyr, i'm going to upload my tactic and mention you :thup:

So slow short passing works against quick direct and vice versa? Not sure I get that logic. For me the old CM's were a rock, paper and scissors game.

Defensive beat Attacking
Normal beat Defensive
Attacking beat Normal

I think the current FM follows a similar logic. But if going short against direct wins then going direct against short wins, where is the advantage for the computer teams? So a third requirement is needed at least.

Hope that makes sense and good read. I know there's a lot more to it than what I mentioned here.

i agreee , earlier games used to be easier , now its gone so much more realistic
all most frustrating some times
online games or clans are even harder for some reason
