I think this could be useful again, so I'll just copy and paste it.

To edit the preset player instructions templates you need to edit the tactical_template.xml file. This can be located in the default directory CProgram Files\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2007\data\tactics

Then once you see the tactical_template.xml file right click on it and choose to open it with notepad. Then at the top it explains what the values range from and how to change them. then edit them to suit how you want them to be.

It make's it much easier to edit them because making subs is much easier then if your bringing a different sort of player on and want to mix things up. But find it too time consuming to change every single stat. Well by editing this it will be faster and a lot easier.

Any trouble just ask, but its really simple to do

Could you explain this a bit more Cleon? I don't really get the use of templates at all yet.

Errr...a template is a ...hmm...template? :p

Think of this, you have 2 MCs, say...Pirlo & Gattuso ... both with a defensive set of instructions, but the opponents scored one and you now want to have Pirlo(or maybe you subbed him for Kaka) doing a more attacking role with more creativity, etc. Instead of changing all his instructions by hand, you just go to the "Set to" menu and load the "OMG_ATTACKING_MIDFIELDER_OF_PWNAGE" template. Much easier!

There are presets already in the game, the keeper, defenders. fullbacks etc in the tactics menu. Its just an expansion on these and allows you to set your own instructions for it.

Thanks, somehow I never played with these before. Will be useful, certainly.

retired_tinagosda

this is awesome. I was always frustrated by how useless the presets are. This will be a great tool if I take the time to set up well.

good looking out cleon

You know I never noticed them before.

Quickie: can you add more templates, or are we limited to the half dozen or so that are already there?

retired_elpata

Yes, you can add to the template

Cleon, this is mint. :thup:

Since you can add your own to it I've created specific ones for key players and although it took a little time to set them up it's saved me an age in game time.

Thanks for this!

Thats what I normally do, can take me a good hour to do it before hand. But saves me so much more time than doing it ing ame.
