cheers lads.
I have been playing around with all the info from nonleague, cleon, rashidi and the lads here to get a solid tactic going. I just started a career game so cant be bothered to abandon that just to test the tactic with other teams.

I'd therefore like to get three people to test my tactics over at least a couple of seasons, and I'd want one of those teams to be on a very low, conference'ish level, another to be championship/serie B or lesser european top league team (i.e Holland, France (not Lyon), Greece, etc), and the third to be one of the top european teams, Milan, Barca, Arsenal etc.

I figured maybe some of you people stuggling, like I have, to make a tactic, would be interested, as maye you could pick up some hints as well.

It is a 442 diamond and in three parts, home, away and versus teams I am very much inferior to. For my Anderlecht I use that against Milan and the likes. This last one is not finished yet though.

I won the league my first season with it, ten points ahead after struggling like mad the first half of the season. When I finally got it right, I barely let in goals in my second half of the season. So far this season I 've lost two of 16 league matches, and those because of wasteful finishing. I just ended a 12 match unbeaten run.

I've been thinking of releasing it to the community, but as I havent tested it with other teams yet, I thought this could be a first step on the way. No point releasing it if it's a once off tactic.

Some info:
All three are very similar, and the biggest difference between them are tempo and passing style. the defenders have their passing style set for all three, but the 7 others follow team passing. Like I said, the "Inferior" tactic isnt done, so dont put too much weight on that yet.

One of the things I have a suspicion might still need tweaking, is my closing down, but I cant be sure, as I use "opposition instructions" extensively, i.e always close down wingers, wrong foot wingers and strikers, and when at home, often close down theirs central defenders. I will also hard tackle their best striker and playmaker.

What I want to know
<UL TYPE=SQUARE> <LI>How successful is it?
<LI>What changes, if any, are needed for each of the teams with their level?
<LI>Are the Away and Home, etc tactics working for away and home respectively?
<LI>What weaknesses do you experience with it? (e.g I stuggle like mad with VERY good mc's. Like Lyons Juninho)
<LI>I'd prefer testers not to change the tactics to a large degree, but what they do change, I'd like to know what works and not.
<LI>What else should I want to know?
</UL>

And not to be stuck up, but I'll stick to three testers, and I'll choose the ones who sound the most sincere in their interest. (That is, if I get any applicants at all! )

Cleon, Rashidi, nonleague, anything else I should want to know?

p.s the tactics are rar'ed and will be mailed or somt to the three "chosen ones".

I can try it with whatever team you want

Spikester

Am on holidays at the moment so I could try it for you. Could do a season with it. Its up to you which team though.

Right, I am off on xmas holiday in a few days myself, so would be great to get someone started on this asap, as there is only isdn where I am going.

I'd prefer one of you to go with a top european team, like Inter, Liverpool etc, and one to go with a League 2/Serie C1 or lower team.

Which one of you gets to do which makes no difference to me, so I dunno if you want to decide that between your selves?

and just get me your emails.

Heh, for the first time since CM 01/02 I am looking like I'll get a top scorer with over 30 goals. 8 league matches and at least the 1/4-finals of the UEFA cup to go.

I guess those lads disappeared.

Anyways, some stats for my tactic
Season 1:
Won the league, 10 points ahead
23-5-6 where most of the losses were first half untill my tactic was ace
Goal difference 59-22, 74 pts
UCL group stage, where I ended 4th as that was also in the first half of the season.
My tactic wasn't ready really untill february.
Most goals in league (matches): Mémé Tchite 16(25)
Most goals overall: Mémé Tchite 18

Season 2:
Won the league, 5 points ahead.
21-8-5
GD: 72-27, 71 pts.
3rd in UCL group stage, with ten points as 2nd placed Lyon, but poorer gd. Uefa cup semi-finlist, where I lost to BAyern Munchen after owning them for two matches and not scoring a single goal....
Most goals in league: Mémé Tchite 23(31)
Most goals overall: Mémé Tchite 33(50)

I am btw down to just the two tactics home and away now, discarded the third.
