kimz Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Thanks for the answers. That's not being lazy, is more like being crazy. Where in your site do you have a description on how to use the tactics? Only can find FAQs, downloads and screenshots. Thanks in advance. theres team talks, tweaking and player selection (under construction) too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimz Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 I am confused :confused:Can you tell me exactly which is the version 2.1 with v1 layout. I have been using v2.1 I think, but i want to try the V2.1 with V1 layout as many people prefer it therefore it must be the best one. Somebody point me in the right direction pls and show me a screenshot with that formation. thanks 'version 2.1 with v1 layout ' is v1.1, you can download it on my homepage http://kimztactics.googlepages.com/ , there is screen shot also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThE BoMBeR Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 base on the poll result, v1.1 is the bestim using v1.1 and v3.0 Just got one last question. I read on your site that it is best if you change tactics to confuse AI. How often should we change tactics? and is there any tactic which is better then another for home and vice versa?

Xaman Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Seems this tactic just won't work for me, I do get more possession and plenty of chances, but the opponent just gets too many clear chances (I was getting beat 6-0 by Barcelona on the half time, for example). It has alot of potential and seems to work fine for many people, but I'm not one of them. I did learn a few things from reading all this, specially in the opponent instructions and team-talk. And the v1.1 tactic I might actually use, except with all the farrow and barrows. I plane on using a 4-2-3-1 tactic, with the two CMs doing barrows to the DM position and the left and right AMC having sarrows to the sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thackray Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I use v2.2 no tweaking. I have used it on several teams around the world and it is the best tactic ever. Sometimes you have to be a bit patient until your squad gets used to this tactic but the wait is well worthwhile. Some of the scores I have been getting are fantastic. When you get better players in your squad you get even better. Took over at Real Betis in Spain and in the 2nd & 3rd season won everything. Particularly pleasing because it is very hard to win the league in Spain with Real & Barcelona taking everything. Excellant tactic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boingboing Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 This is how I do my team talks..... Before the match I always select I expect a win , no matter who I am playing. Then if any players are on Very Poor ---> Good morale I give them the individual instruction 'No Pressure'. At half time If i'm winning or drawing I always select ' For the supporters' If the option is available , if the option is not there I will choose Pleased. If i'm losing at half time Dissapointed. Individual talks at half time if Rated 8 or above , have faith in ability . Anyone rated 6 I select NONE as teamtalk . Since doing this my results have been much better and palyers take more chances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac_maras Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 But when I won with my Friend 5-1 (He plays Chelsea) in half-time i use for everyone" You have faith" and my team was very happy for that ;D I thik "for supporters" are not very good when I play with poor teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I started a new game with Leeds because the 15pt gap was a good challenge. Using the 2.1v with v1 layout i managed to win the st johnstones trophy in the 1st season,,won the league and st johnstone trophy in the second,,promoted by the playoffs to the prem in the third,,,but now ive hit a losing streak (1st time ever using this tactic),,obviously the squad isnt premiership quality (about 5 players are decent prem players,,the rest are leading championship players),,,what version is good for just staying clear of relegation,,,which is the most solid version for lesser teams? If Kimz could let me know as he is the most experienced with these tactics i would be grateful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikal Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 So far this tactic has been pretty damn good! Only played 2 games so far mind, first was a 2-0 win against pompy and the 2nd was a 7-0 win against west ham... Just beat chelsea 5-4. Went 3-0 up in like 15 mins, then through some awful defending and keeping was a 3-3, went up to 5-3, then they got another... Should have gone a little defensive after going 3-0 up, greedy me trying to get as many goals as possible! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwf Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 After use of this tactic for a while. I'm attacking amazingly well, scoring lots of goals. But in conceding so many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointon27 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I posted earlier on how this tactic hasn't been that effective for me in the 3 seasons i'd been using it with my Oldham team in the prem, even though it was getting me comfortably in mid table, i was conceeding far too many goals and i always had the worst defensive record in the division even though i also had one of the highest scoring records also. The thing was though the tactic had got me to two FA cup finals in those 3 seasons even though i lost both of them, i'd still had some awesome results throughout the season, aswell as some really bad beatings, but the results were enough to make me carry on with it. I have a really young talented squad average age was 22 in the seasons the tactic wasn't quite cutting it. During pre-season i'd sold a couple of my promising youngsters and replaced them with players of equal ability, so my squad really wasn't that much better then it was the season previous, as i dont really like to buy seasoned pro's i like to find promising youngsters and watch them grow. I was expecting another mid table finish, and i'd of been happy with that to be honest, but all of a sudden the tactic just sprung to life, i didn't do anything different, team talks that i gave where pretty much the same as previous seasons, but all of a sudden i was keeping a few clean sheets, and battering teams, i finished 2nd in the prem with 86 points only 4 points behind Man Utd, i won the league cup and lost in the final of the FA cup and the semi final of the Uefa Cup losing out to Liverpool due to a last minute goal. I was the leagues highest scorers and had the 5th best defence. Im now half way through the next season pretty much the same team as the season before i'm sitting in 2nd spot 3pts behind Man Utd, who have only lost 1 game out of the 24 they have played so far in the league and that was against me, i'm going strong in the champions league, i'm in the league cup final again, and still in the FA Cup. Just shows even though my squad has pretty much stayed the smae throughout the last few seasons it has taken around 3 seasons for the tactic to start playing the way it should do, so sometimes you've just got to be patient. Thanks Kimz top tactic best on FM08 by far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ricardo Kaka Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I've downloaded tactics from cheats section which I found on your site. What did you changed on it? And how did you do it? Because I tried to change manually tactics, save it, copy 48 times and renamed it like originals tactics from /data/tactics folder. When I start a new game, everything is okay, AI use the tactics which I swap, but when I save the game and load it later, the game cannot be loaded (crash dumps issue). I mean i want to change default AI tactics... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilanoBaros Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I've been using your 1.1 tactic, not switched tactics. It's good, gets goals, but it ships a lot aswell. I'm climbing my way up with leeds. I have the best record in the league along with Notts Forrest (except I have -15pt) so i'm sitting in about 8th at the moment. Wish I could stop leaking so many goals though. Definately the best tactic i've used in my very brief FM2008 days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
