Your team talk at the start of the gameis wrong.

To get the best out of team talks the players must have a good understanding. Start most matches by wishing luck. Choose the half time one accordingly. Strange but true

I tried team talking by wishing luck and after 6 minutes i went down 0-1. Then an opponent was sent off. At end of 1st i said "i want more from you". Game ended 0-1

To me it seems like another version of the "sooperkeepaz" syndrome. I would advise becoming a more patient team, as this appears to have worked for me in these situations. However, I'm still working on a definitive answer for low SoT to goals ratios.

Yes, its correct. I didnt bother to check it up yet again. Anyways, I dont see any difference if its vice versa. Ive played FM 2007 alot, and I cant really say I got the "hang" on it until I used global team mentality. I want my team to defend AND attack as a unit, therefore I find any "tip" of lowering/altering my defenders mentality wrong. I rather drop the mentality for the whole team, not just a few, if my team is too weak to play "attacking".

btw, I have no problems creating loads of chances with my "defensive football" either. The only backdraw I find is that its utterly boring though. But I do whatever it takes to win, so it really doesnt matter. What matters, is the results.

It isn't wrong at all! It just doesn't work in your particular style of play. That doesn't make it a wrong tip.

That works for you, and thumbs up to that. However, it makes logical sense to suggest to people that they lower their defensive mentalities if they're having problems. Your style works on global. This doesn't mean everyone should play global.

My style of play works best with defensive defenders and attacking strikers. Therefore, I would advise everyone to at least try splitting their mentalities. But this does not mean I am right and that everyone else is wrong.

It is not wrong to tell people to play more defensively at the back. Actually, it's incredibly logical. Now, if you would care to tell us how your global system works, we can ascertain which sorts of tactics would benefit from a splitting of mentalities and which ones wouldn't.
