This is not a rant or an attack on anyone's tactics uploaded on here, but is there anyone who feels tactics don't work? It may sound stupid but Ive found with pretty much every team I manage, the tactics I use for them just makes my team crap, as opposed to not doing anythin to the tactics and leaving it as default. But doing that just gives me the feeling of an easy ride.

It might just be me being supersticious of things happening everytime I make a change to the tactic but does anyone feel this?

I think the tactics definitely work. You just have to have a reason for doing what your doing, and you have to consider your players' strengths and weaknesses before you set your tactics.

Keep in mind, the default tactics all have sliders set to the middle. That's not reflecting a tactical choice, it reflects the lack of a tactical choice. IRL, every team makes tactical choices.

I know that many of us like to play through matches quickly, because the allure of the game is managing through many seasons, and for a lot of us, time is short. But whenever you feel you're struggling through tactics, watch your matches either through extended highlights or full match. It's the only way you can really judge your tactics.

Also, keep an eye on the match statistics, especially shots on target, possession and passing percentage. That will give you an idea of how you're doing.

Good luck.

Also, keep an eye on your matchups. If your opponent's forwards have pace attributes of 18 and your backs all have pace attributes of 6, it's going to be a painful day on the pitch.
