kimz Posted April 27, 2008 Author Share Posted April 27, 2008 Originally posted by Soverntear:AMAZING simply amazing. any suggestions on building tactics? ive tryed this one with 4 different teams and none of them have lost yet. how did you make a tactic that can work with so many different teams and players? what teams are you using? and which version? suggestions on building tactics : - dont think realistic tactic on IRL, realistic tactic means 'realistic result', IMO - use middle-up team, 4-5 on prediction, and start on new game - create many save game : vs lower team, vs same level team, vs better team, each home and away - make sure that all your players have a very good / superb morale. excellent tactic + low morale = nothing - make sure you know the best team talk for your team. excellent tactic + crap team talk = nothing - load the same game 10+ times each to test your tactic and tweak it to explore the possibilities. some match, like vs MU away, i load same game almost 30 times but ive got nothing.... very very depressing - load the same game immediately if you or your opp got a red card, penalty, own goal, corner bug, direct free kick....it means you are lucky, not your tactic is good - excellent tactic should score / win on first half, not on second half....win on 2nd half means your half team talk is good, not your tactic - read this forum, and try others tactics and discovering ai weakness - LUCK.....is the important part , on some version (ie : FM 2007) i have no excellent tactic - creating tactic for lower league teams is difficult... you cant discerning of bad tactic and good tactic with bad players - if you think you got excellent tactic, test it on long run - now its ready hope it helps..

kern fern Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hey kimz, i read in the earlier part of this thread. its stated that if i manage to secure a win by first half, its because of the tactic. but if i only manage to secure the win after 2nd half, den its something to do with the half time teamtalk. so far, im using tottenham, and im drawing almost all the matches when it reaches half time. im using version 2.1 currently. does it got to do with the morale of my team? im currently in season 1, the majority of my team's morale is around ok or poor. any suggestions what i can do to increase the morale of my team? thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creativity on 1 means your players don't spend any time on the ball and shoot straight at the keeper a lot. Lots of saves made by the keeper as a result, thus his high rating.

Helmerzinho Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 WOW.... this tac is one of the best ive used if not THE best. I loved croats tac, but i cant remember ever to have made a this good start. played 21 games with sao paolo and have won them all.... my center defender scored 8 in 10 games and was sold becouse of board accepting bid, same happended to the other one, and so i used my ackup players, but bothe of them got 3mnt inj so im now playing talents and they do great... Think key is pssing so you dont loose the ball often. the games i loose balls to frequently i tend to let in 2-4 goals, but still i score 6+..lol Have to add That Rogerio Ceni scored in the 88min against Palmeiras nailing the 6-3 win with a free kick from 30 yards... He is my goal keeper btw...lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdmk Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It feels morally wrong using this tactic. It feels just like cheating. I'm wigan and i just beat blackburn 3-0 and i had 28 shots!! With better finishing it could of been 10-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmk Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 just beat chelski 8-3 with wigan. I had 25 shots but chelski had 17.

neilez2 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 After starting a game with a lower league Greek team predicted to finish bottom and being the underdog in every single game I was sitting outside the relegation zone with another tactic set. Went back to Kimz 2.1 and have won 8 games on the trot! Only losing my last game to a top 3 side, media is now tipping me as an outsider for promotion, although I think this season this is beyond me.

jamiehex Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I wanted to mention something. Playing as Sheff U. Having been using version 2.2 and around February I stopped using OI. Stopped conceding as well. Went on to win LC, League and FA Cup. Only had one draw in there a 1-1 where I finally gave up a goal and couldn't score. Beat Arsenal 2-0 in FA QTR Beat Everton 2-0 in FA Final. Anyway, I had no complaints about 2.2 using OI, I just found it strange that when I stopped using them I gave up LESS goals. Maybe it's a matter of switcjing every so often or this team just got used to the system? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knap Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I have played every league from BSP upwards with V2 and have no issues with defence. This is with plain zonal and no OI, no change home or away, and no change when AI go 424. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
