Just noticed this last night, am playing with minnows Kilkenny City in the Irish First Division (next up is the Premier, makes sense eh!) and we're top of the league and doing relatively well (tis my own tactics too)... I didn't buy FM2006, last version I had was FM2005 so I wasn't familiar with opposition instructions at all but reading around here on Monday, I thought I kinda got a feel for them and have thus started implementing them...
Nothing crazy, merely show the wingers to the wrong foot and close down, same with the strikers...
The difficulty and this is after about five games, we play pretty well defensively but lose all initiative going forward and thus get into real trouble when we finally concede off a set piece in the 87th minute or something...
Then, I decided to go back to the old approach, no opposition instructions but the exact same tactic, teamtalk, the works and suddenly we're sliding the ball around and playing total football again...
Now, we're in the lower tier of Irish Football, so the stats are, as you can imagine, not great...
So my question is, is this a common lower league feature where employing too many instructions can have an impact on other features of your game notably creativity and has anybody else come across this phenemenon?
Players not smart enough for Opp Instructions...
