mickyt11 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 For the classic tactic, is it ok to pull the middle striker back into a AMC role - so 4-1-2-1-2? Im currently Real Madrid and cannot accomodate Kaka? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquaplex Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I heard some people mention that moving 1 striker to AMC works, but i prefer keeping 3 up front, leaves match engine more dumbfounded. lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyACE Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 hi Mr Houg!I'm using your gcs (btw, i thought cs was "corner cheat", sorry :o) you say the pitch size should be minimum... why? I'm starting now and i have best results away (old trafford) i'll keep reporting cumps Minimum size pitch is recommended because it's easier to defend this way. Gives less space to your opponents and limits how tired your own players become, because there's less space to cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha Real behanger Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I have used the classic tactic with Barcelona in the first season. This where the results: http://community.sigames.com/showpost.php?p=5228025&postcount=1108 I have only made one tweak, and that is putting the dc's on manmarking. Zlatan really loves the tactic.

RedBlueEagle Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Have to be honest, I didn't expect this to work but it really is. I have tweaked the defence as I wasn't happy in the opening games. Over my last 8 games I have won them all with a goal difference of 20 for and only 3 against. I am using the classic and my tweaks are: - CDs -3 closing down - this was far too high and saw them flying into the other half to close down FBs -2 closing down - they don't get dragged off to the full backs and stay with the wingers defending corners put the full backs on the posts and make sure the CDs are marking tall players. I noticed too many goals were being conceded at corners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed too many goals were being conceded at corners. Trying these tweaks with my Hearts game. So far played one game only with these. Not sure if these were the cause but I conceded two easy goals early and had to make a comeback to win the match. Prior to this match, I probably conceded 1 goal about every 3 games, using just the default setting on the Classic tactic. I'll keep testing though and see how your tweaks hold up in a longer term. My next game is the Scottish League Cup final against Rangers, so should be a good test. UPDATE - Ok, I've played 5 games so far with the above defensive tweaks. Not sure how or why they work for RedBlueEagle so well, but my team has been conceding almost two goals per game since using them. In fact, I've conceded 9 goals in 5 matches. I still won them all, but it's still very concerning at how much I've let in. My advice is to be careful with these tweaks. If the default settings are working for you, then use them. However, if your team is struggling to defend with default settings, then give these tweaks a go and see how it comes out. In that fifth game, I played with RedBlueEagle's tweaks in the first half, and then switched back to default setting for the second half. My defense looked much more solid after switching back.

RedBlueEagle Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Thanks for the analysis Don't know if it helps but I didn't have man marking across the back.

I may choose man marking for the full backs but will likely stick to zonal for the central defenders so they dn't get dragged out of position by better forwards. I agree with you that the man marking for the fullbacks does help, mostly against better teams. The man marking for the center backs needs to be considered more carefully though. Sometimes it's good and other times it's dangerous. I usually just leave mine on zonal. Now, here's an update after my first season with Heart of Midlothian: Using the classic tactic we were able to do the double by winning the league and the league cup. We were close to doing the domestic treble but unfortunately lost in the semi final of the Scottish Cup to Celtic. Overall, I'm very happy with our season. Here's a pic of the table: Here's a screen shot of my team immediately after our last game of the season: And in case anyone is curious about my transfers, here's a pic of them as well: I read on the official Hearts thread of someone doing the treble with them in the first season of which I was skeptical, but I was pleasantly surprised that it is indeed possible. The key is to get some good players into the squad, but also ones with the right attributes. One observation I do have is that Celtic were the toughest team by far that I had to face. Somehow we were able to handle Rangers very well. In fact, we pretty much destroyed them at Ibrox both times we had to play there. However, Celtic were a slightly different story. They played a 4-2-3-1 (2 MCs, 3 AMCs, 1 ST) formation. I'm not sure if it was because of this formation why we struggled or simply because my defense was simply not good enough to contain them. Our only loss (0-3) in the league came against them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shikton Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hello! =) I have to praise this tactic as well. I'm playing as Lørenskog (a Norwegian third tier team) and was struggling a bit in my second season after being promoted to the second tier division. Played one season there, but felt that I could do a lot better. I really suck at making tactics, and when I do make something halfway decent the AI finds ways to make it obsolete after 3 games. Found this tactic and it worked wonders for me. Now, it's unreasonable that I should be promoted to the top division, especially without playoffs, but that's what happened. My players are either young or mediocre, so I'd have settled with just a top half finish. Ended up being promoted directly. Here are a few images from my game: Games played League table Squad Formation If you find it in your heart to develop something equally effective where you include wingers then I'd be thrilled. I love playing with wingers, but I'm not discarding this tactic until there's a great tactic out there. Cheers again for this. We'll see how it works in the Norwegian top division!

Also, the DLP in the middle, should i go for the most techincal and creative striker, ie. Sergio Aguero or Forlan, or the stronger, technical targetman type, Adriano or Dzeko? both are good on their feet and in the air, creative but lack that passing attribute.

Rafinha and Vargas are no good defensively. Mr. Hough will probably tell you the same thing but I would suggest that you play Aguero as the center striker. That position needs a fast, creative player, with good finishing. Aguero fits the position extremely well. Plus I have experience playing him there in my Milan game. He really excels in that position. He should get you a lot of goals but also a lot of assists. In my own game he usually gets about the same number of assists as goals. Forlan with probably work in that position as well if you need to rotate. Dzeko (if you have him) should do well as one of the side strikers. However, I've found that he struggles if you give him too much creative freedom. Also, I found that he performs better if you make him close down more It's ok if your fullbacks are not that great defensively. If they have high stamina and are quick, then they should be ok. However, it doesn't hurt for them to have good positioning and tackling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forlan is turning 32, so he could be let go, i have his replacement (also from Uruguay) Edison Cavani who is also technical and good acceleration. the issue is where to use Adriano. who has been my 2nd best scorer for 3 seasons and is at the prime of his career, only 28-29. If i use him on the left, he might not be able to be effective if he runs wide. And he doesnt have the creative passing boots to play in the center. Hmmmm.... both fullbacks having good crossing, decisions and passing, pace and stamina. Its just that they suck at marking, tackling and heading. positioning also not the best. will try them out and revert back. i do have DCs who can play in fullback positions. Huge, 6 feet monsters though aka Jelle Van Damme DLC and Jack Rodwell retrained to play DCR, DMC i like to have a very deep squad, with players trained to play multiple positions. i have basically 2 squads and a few back ups in my 25 man squad. 2 players for every position plus the younger players retrained to play at least 3-4 positions, sometimes L + R or Attack + Defend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assist rate has also been excellent from Aguero and Villa with 19 Assits combined. I was just looking at Adriano and he lacks the pace of being out wide and also the passing skills of being in the middle but if you 2 good technical strikers they will proberly play him in as he has great off the ball skills and will be able to find space. You'll have to try him there and see how he does rotate your front 3 till you find the right balance. Good luck with your game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx for the advise. my problem when i play Barcelona is that it always ends up a very high scoring game. either 3-2 or 4-3. Very open, and its basically who scores more wins. i get killed a lot from their midfield. Their lone striker does nothing against me, and normally gets such a poor rating, they always sub him. i get killed by Xavi's long range placed shots or curlers. Also the wingforwards always score from the far post. but, i score easily against them too. normally my Forwards score really scorchers or on the counter. i do well scoring from corners too. Their DCs lack height after i poached Pique of them... hahhaha i gave up using my fullbacks to specific man mark their wing forwards, cos their fullbacks overlap and get a free cross into the box or the a late arriving midfielder, ie. Xavi again. if i dont man-mark on the flanks, i get a 2 on 1 situation, wingforward and fullback against my fullback. if the DMC moves to help, then late runner Xavi kills me again. i prefer to play Real Madrid, cos their central midfield is much more static and more physical. i normally destroy Madrid by overrunning their midfield and man-marking and hard tackling Ronaldo and Kaka on the wings.

Also the wingforwards always score from the far post. but, i score easily against them too. normally my Forwards score really scorchers or on the counter. i do well scoring from corners too. Their DCs lack height after i poached Pique of them... hahhaha i gave up using my fullbacks to specific man mark their wing forwards, cos their fullbacks overlap and get a free cross into the box or the a late arriving midfielder, ie. Xavi again. if i dont man-mark on the flanks, i get a 2 on 1 situation, wingforward and fullback against my fullback. if the DMC moves to help, then late runner Xavi kills me again. i prefer to play Real Madrid, cos their central midfield is much more static and more physical. i normally destroy Madrid by overrunning their midfield and man-marking and hard tackling Ronaldo and Kaka on the wings. instead of man marking there fullback or wide forward try closing down and/or tight marking on them and just tight mark close down always on xavi put your d line up abit too so they can't shot from distance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
