mag man Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 How do you retrain players? :$ Go to training overview on the player-screen. Then there is choice to retrain position. To train PPM's go to player interaction and scroll down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
crouchaldinho Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 2) Has it ever been considered to have a sub-forum for downloadable tactics that way discussions would stay on the front page and hopefully encourage more? Definitely agree with this. Good idea! Personally, I come in to this part of the forum to read discussions about tactical ideas and concepts. Often, there are a lot of 'download my tactic' threads and the threads with interesting discussion can get neglected as a result of this. Two sub-sections would be ideal in this scenario because those who want to talk/read would have a dedicated area, and those who want to download would be able to go straight into their own part of the tactics forum to find what they need. However, the main problem I foresee is the distinction between a 'discussion' thread and a 'download' thread. TT&F, for instance, is a great discussion but also includes downloads. There are threads where someone has tried out a new tactical idea and then offered a download. Where do they go? :confused: The way around this would, perhaps, to be to have the discussion in the 'discussion' thread and link to the download in the 'download' section. I still think it is a great idea though. C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olusinho Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 hey, i played a season with fiorentina, i was using 4-4-2 and won my last 10 games in row and got 3rd, but now in preseason, same formation it isnt doing so well, and i barley beat my under 20's 1-0. is it better to change formation after every season? or is the team not playing well because i made about 8 new signings ( all squad players ,none in my 1st starting 11) also, do different tactics work in italy then they would in england? as if have noticed many 3-5-2,4-2-3-1. etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

theres only one ALI DIA! Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Ok hopefully someone here can help me as I asked in main forum but no reply Iv just been promoted to blue square prem and I think if we are going to compete at this level my players should be concentrating on their football full time. Nearly all my players are happy to give up their jobs and come in full time but all 5 of my coaches refuse and want to stay part time. So will my players benefit from extra training if they go full time or will they end up just coming in and kicking there heels playing poker etc? Will there attributes improve more full time or will it be as if only part time because of my lazy coaches? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I and many others who partake in the lower league challenge attempt to get players on full-time contracts asap. You wont get full-time coaches until you turn professional but the players do improve by being full-time a lot quicker. so by assign my coaches to what they are best at it will automatically filter to train the players in different schedules?thanks and im sure there will be Yep, assign your coaches to maximise the star ratings. That means all aerobic training in each schedule will be done by the same coach and at that coaches level. do the youth coaches only coach the youth squad?what would be the premise for example of putting a 1st team player who is only 18 into youth training or fulltime training? thanks Youth coaches only train youth schedules. I only have 16 and younger players on youth schedules but anyone 17 or older go into proper schedules as these are more intense. Just my opinion here though.

Bobo_Vieri Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hello. In my old team (Odra Opole) since ~5 season i had good training facilites and 4-5 star trainers (most of them had national reputation) and my players had often attributes up. Now I have F.C. Internazionale under my wings (no add manager etc. just Benitez sux and i had wc reputation;p). I choose to find 6-7 star coaches via Genie Scout, and I employed them (they have only regional reputation). And now I'm confused beacose attributes of my players falling down! I have more stars in training window, better training facilites and attributes falling:mad:. So can anyone answer me, coaches reputation is important?

LukeyLove Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 What sort of spread should I have between 1st team Coaches (needed at all?) / Basic coaches (can they just do all of them?) / and youth coaches? With my current club im allowed upto 17 coaches, which sounds alot compared to how many im normally offered :o Anyway is there any disadvantage in the quality of the training by purely using 'Coaches' as opose to 'First Team Coaches/Youth Coaches' and if so is there any sort of ratio I should be following? Is there any advantage to having someone say doing the first team and then someone totally different and potentially with lower attributes but higher youth coaching, teaching the younger team? Also a question that ive seen raised alot on these forums and never really answered, does 7* coaches make any difference at all? (Patch 9.3) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcidBurn Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 If I start a game as Liverpool and set the team up to play as 4-4-2 diamond formation, it will obviously take the team some time to get used to the tactic say it takes 10 games and they start playing some nice football. Then Steven Gerrard gets injured so I bring in Sergio Aguero to play in Gerards AMC role. I will have to change the AMC settings to get the most out of the new player, then if my fast striker gets injured aswell so I bring in a targetman to play along with Torres and I change his player instructions. Would it take another 10 games for the team to get used to the changes? If I moved the AMC to MC would it take time for the team to get used to the changes again or not?

crouchaldinho Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Acidburn - Even if it does take some time for a team to settle on a new formation/tactic (and I'm not sure that it does), Liverpool are a top side and should be able to settle into something new fairly quickly. Certainly, making minor changes to player instructions has no effect. If it did, I would be bottom of the league, as I change them every game! C.

Stupidly i decided to teach him to 'move into channels' and now he has only scored 21 in 39, but when i asked him to forget running into channels he said he felt disillusioned because the same manager had asked him to learn it and refused to change back.
