Quick question about tweaking , is it a good idea to change your tactics before you press the kick off button. Because usually i wait till the match itself then i change it to suit my needs in that match before the kick off , just wondering if that would have a adverse effect and add confusion ?

Doesn't make no difference really

UNITED!!!!!

im sorry to complain as it was a very good post but i don't feel you have really explained how to edit your tactic and what to change.

This doesn't really help the complete dunces such as myself as i still don't know how to how to tweak tactics except for when they line up similar to your newcastle example!

If somebody is able to explain to me when and why you should alter the:

i would be very grateful as i have no idea what to do before a game!

many thanks

Re read it, and read and take note of the part where I say this is a progression. The what to tweak etc will fall under the in game tweaking. I can't spoon feed you everything, you need to do some work yourselves

I gave you an example, most of it is common sense. I'm sorry but ig you cannot work a scout report out what gives you hints as to what to do, then you have no chance long term at the game. Sorry if thats harsh, but why can't people work out the scout reports? Its not hard, if it says someone is a threat mark them, if it says you playing against fast strikers then play deep and so on.

Surely its simple enough already?

Lol Cleon, it might seem crazy to you but you're on another plane of FM2007 existance. Most of us haven't really been 'enlightened' yet. We havent been unplugged from the matrix.

Cleon

My brother made sense of what needed to be done, and he doesn't play the game. The scout reports tell you what to do ffs most of time.

If I've read carefully enough, then I understand that even having 4 tactics (home, away, defend lead and attack) isn't enough.

I should alter these tactics every match again, and again?

manufan

Yeah they do, but it doesn't mean me as a player would know how to transfer that to the pitch. You understand damn near everything tactically about this game, and what each thing does. Most of us dont, that's why we continously struggle. You see your central midfielder getting a rating of 6 so you look at the away stats, and from that jumbled mess of numbers, somehow you figure out what sliders to adjust and BOOM he finishes the match with a 7 or 8. That's just how it is, you either 'get it' or you dont.

That's why you won the prem with Sheffield United of all people!(no offense) while I struggle to hang on at home against West Ham as Manchester United. I, and a lot of people just dont 'get it' yet. It's gonna take more trial and error and a few eureka moments.

Just think of it this way. Picture yourself as a pickup artist, and you're trying to teach a bunch of shy, hopeless guys how to meet women. Everything might seem so easy, so clear to you, but it wont be that way for the guys.

Cleon

But who teaches me and helps me when I struggle? There comes a point when you need to try and understand it yourself, without help from others
