SynysterGates17 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 maybe increase their shooting and attacking training? or change up your strikers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWaRFeGa Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Opponents may have cottoned on to your style of play? Try mixing things up. Do you use the in-game direction? ie. Play narrower, work ball into the box, pass to feet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayahr Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 that's a common issue which many people face in the second season. After performing well in your first year, your reputation rises and your opponents will play more defensively against you than before and counter attack. That will often lead to you dominating the game and getting many chances of inferior quality while they have few very good chances. A good response to that is to play with more patience. Play narrower, shorter passing and with fewer long shots. You may still find yourself scoring less but that is as your opponents play defensively. At the same time you have to try and make sure that you are less vulnerable to counter attacks, i.e. have pacey defenders and one guy in midfield keeping an eye on defense. btw playing narrower is actually the opposite of what you'd have to do irl but this is FM and playing narrower works better here. hth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play deep. Play narrow. Exploit the middle. Full-backs don't get forward. Target-man and two poachers either side. One central midfielder very defensive.

craigcwwe Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Just keep encouraging your attacking players and maybe increase their finishing training for a while and try and stick with the same players for a extended amount of time to give them a chance to get to know each other.

Target-man and two poachers either side. One central midfielder very defensive. The 4-3-3 with 3 central strikers is actually a killer tactic on FM10. In terms of the rest, it's a sad sign for how FM10 is still flawed as irl that's what not to do against defensive opposition. But at least there are things you can do in reactio to your rising reputation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, good point too. In year 1 most people cannot do too much on the transfer market as budgets are tight. Then after year 1 they change around a lot but then underestimate that also in FM a team will need time to gel and therefore not play on its top level right away after many players have been exchanged...

antonyhoggan Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 With two up front try changing the strikers from left to right slots. Left foot on right side has a better chance of hitting the target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

England4Ever Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I was goinig to suggest you trying 4-3-1-2 as a formation, as i am having great success with it at the moment in my Leeds Save, and combining that with some matches playing 4-3-3, to keep the opposition on their toes. On the 4-3-1-2 setup i trained a couple of strikers to turn them in to AM/FC's, that way when i am playing 4-3-1-2 and think i need 4-3-3 its just a few simple clicks to change formation. I also set the 2 strikers up to change positions with each other to make them harder to mark. Good luck on your game. England4Ever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they don't react to your tactics, they do react to your results. If, over a decent period of time (say, half a season or more), you've been overachieving, then, logically, the AI will start to play more defensively against you (and vice-versa, but generally, if you've been underachieving, you don't get to see the outcome ). If your tactic is set up (intentionally or not) to take advantage of the opposition attacking you, then it might well struggle against teams playing more defensive football, giving the illusion that they've adapted to your tactic. Other tactics might work well against teams playing both offensive and defensive football, so no such effect is noticed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
