I have come across a slight issue with using OI. I don't know if this is a bug or not but I have the sceenie to show you..

Opposition Instructions

as you will see the position of Cambiasso on the positional screen doesn't correspond to what is shown on the left...

I was playing against Milan, who had two strikers really good in the air, and I closed them both down and - hey presto! - they played rubbish.

Out of 14 headers attempted they won 1, and their ratings were 5 and 6. This season on average the striker with 18 jumping has won about 2/3 of his headers and the one with 16, 1/2. My 3 DCs have 16, 16 and 17.

Yeh its a bug that is going to be fixed in the patch pompeyboyz, normaly happens after a red card or sub.

Nice call on going hard tackling on the slightly injured player, loved that.

time for some revenge!

since using this advice I have had a lot more success except for one anomolous result where I lost 6-3 at home to Middlesbrough. I have only lost 4 games in 15(including the above) and they have been to Man Utd, Chelsea and Red Star(I had my two DC sent off) aside from the middlesbrough result the defeats have been 2-1 against Chelsea(both goals from parried saves) 2-0 against Man Utd(1 penalty and one Parried save) and 1-0 against Red Star(just cause I had lost my two DC and had to play Freddy Adu in DC)

my goal scoring is phenomanal as I generally score 3-4 a game.

I am using hard tackling also on injured/tired strikers, and I have had no problems with it, so I believe it is pretty safe option.

I am experimenting with hard tackling on following opponent players:
- players with yellow cards - to wind them up to go for second yellow
- highly aggressive players - to wind them up to commit professional foul
- players with low natural fitness - to send them to hospital
- players with low bravery - to scare them

Cheers!

Sounds like you may be better off to always tackle hard.

really nice experiences

With regards to this is this just purely for prematch OI or can it be used at half time?

If so do you use a different level of condition to determine wether or not to use hard tackling?

many thanks

XJG makes the excellent point of low bravery - some of the top playmakers/strikers in the prem have low Bravery. You can routinely get these guys down to ratings of 5 as they never challenge for the ball after 10 minutes.

the instruction can be given at any time during the game. sometimes players get injured early on eg. 15th mins and then i'll click on my instructions. usually the injured players have a cross beside their name or a significantly lower stamina compared to the rest of his teammates.
