I'm writing this because i have finaly understood how this game works,by my own experience and of course by reading many posts on this forum.
Many people complain it is very difficult,actually it isn't,it is all about creating a tactic and stick to it.Look at Man.Utd this season,did Sir Alex Ferguson have a revelation or did he sign 11 world class players during the season break? nop.
My point is,and i've noticed this playing Napoli that success is a matter of patience,its not just that but mostly because of it.
With Napoli i created a counter attacking tactic and i stuck by it for three seasons,the results were,the Italian Cup,the Uefa Cup,the Italian Super Cup.
The downfall of the tactic was that even though i had good results away or against strong sides,i reached a point in wich i struggled playing ofensive.And i needed to because after my success the other teams played defensive against me,the result an ouwfull third season.
O.K.my idea now is to create a tactic and with minor adjustments to be able to attack and when i need to to defend with only minor changes,like changing the D Line or Width,maybe others.
I want to do this because as they say "constantly changing your tactic.......... will affect your team performance" and mostly because i want to have a balance between home performance and away performance.
I notice a lot of people creating tactics,most of them attacking but always their downfall is away games.
It is hard for me to think that Sir Alex Ferguson changes everything when playing away,i think only minor adjustments.
In order of creating such a tactic i need your help,your experience with the game,and i think this is the key of the game,so feel free to tell me what you think is the best way to attack ,defend,changes you make.

I suggest looking at the tactical discussion threads on this forum - there are a few theoretical threads with contributions from experienced tacticans.
Buna! Like you FM 07 is my first FM.I was 5 season with Romanian Delta Tulcea.I took them from Diviazia B and in third season I promoted them to Divizia A, and in the 5 season qualified them for Uefa Cup.But i'd begun to use FM modifier and it made my game a ****! So I'm starting New Game.
My point of view is that we should use tactics not depending on home or away, but on stronger or weaker team.I'm always choose team instructions epending from the opposition,but my player instructions remain almost always the same.For example:when I play against a better side I'm using a little push up d-line,play down both flanks and more direct,with more midfielders. I hope you continue this discussion.
o.k.socks,you have to be kidding me,i spent a couple of hours reading cleon's thread,and what did i understand?,nothing,i think it would have been more simple for him to tell us,as i have no doubt he is the most experienced gamer around,just what to do when you want to defend and what to do when you want to attack.what the mentality should be in every case,and also his tactics are based on the idea that global mentality interacts with individual mentality.well, does it?i'm not so sure,i'd like SI to tell us....
also from my experience and K'OTIC proved it mentality doesn't effect positioning,just the risk players take.it effects F-Runscrosses,etc,but most important passing.
also creative freedom is something that we don't know so much about,i think it interacts purely with players stats.don't get me wrong here,i'll explain
-you want to defend,set your players on global mentality of 5,and creative freedom of 3,watch the full match and you will see that players won't pass forward much,then change creative to 10 or 11 and see the difference.point,you should give creative freedom only to intelligent players,and not give CF because if you don't players will dawdlle on the ball.
As i said I don't think its that hard to defend or attack,I also don't think it was a difficult Question(not so many answers i can see,only my pall from Romania)
All those threads are not very usefull in my opinion because they are not written by the same mind,and many people have different opinions abuot different thinks.
Noroc zdobzdub,nice to hear from someone from your country,i played in Liga 1 with Poli,smashed everyone,but they have lots of money so its preety simple,so i took Napoli and tried to rise them to where they were.had some difficulties...
Now like i said i want to create a tactic,framework,however you want to call it,and stick to it,also i don't think that Man Utd defends different in terms of Mentality than Rapid Bucharest same thing when attacking.
Figuring this out would help every FM gamer,so it's up to you

Andrei, can you upload somewhere ( http://badongo.com/ for example) and give a link how you use to defend.
You want everyone to come to you to tell you their best tactical ideas, and Im sure you'll get useful contributions from some people here, but I think you will have to go and disseminate the inforrmation for yourself from other peopels threads and downloads.
There is no definitive approach to tactics so opinions and methods will vary.
noroc zdobzdub,I defend,at least with Napoli i used to defend,by having all my defenders on a mentality of 5,narrow width to 8,set my MCs to man mark also give one of my ST mentality of 10 and free role,this way he used to come back and help the defence.
Socks,this is getting boring,all i asked was that people tell me how they defend or attack and how succesfull they are with their tactics.
It's not such a big thing,simple(when i defend i set my mentality to...,change...i don't know what...)
The reason i asked is that i think there is only one way of effectivly defending and effectivly attacking,and i would like that when i loose not to ask myself if my tactic was wrong,but realise that i lost because i had weaker players or the team had a bad day.
