Basically means that he's being outpaced by his opponent. I would make sure he wasn't marking tight to give him some slack and be careful when closing down. "player could be doing alot more today" Again what do i need to change in this situation to make a player "do more" Thanks Basically says what it means. Look at his stats and see what he's not doing and then make adjustments to try and get him more involved. Could mean changing anything depending on his position and what you expect from him for example; forward runs, mentality, his position, etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubldragon Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Couple questions: I have Gomes in goal and he spills shots (like RL), but they bounce away from him sometimes 12-15yards. Is that normal or is there anything I can do about it? I've given up several goals and FKs from it. Second, I have Pavlyuchenko and Huntelaar playing up top. Pav has been great netting 8 goals through Oct and linking very well with the MF. For some reason, I can't get Huntelaar to link up with Pav. I've followed TTF in trying to get them to link better, but when they do, KJH immediately gives up possession. Any tips on how to play him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ham_aka_stam Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 This really is a stupid question, and is therefore in the right place: Does full creative freedom mean that the player will completely ignore my instructions and act as he thinks a player in his position should act?

It's mature, which means it has less posts per member than some other fan sites, but the posts tend to be somewhat longer. It's probably the only site that offers tactical discussion in greater detail than here, and a lot of the best stuff gets posted on both sites. It's also home to the only regular fan-driven podcast and its mini FML equivalent, which is the officially sanctioned FML Community podcast. It also has a thriving LLaMa section, although LLaMa membership prohibits the viewing of the tactical forums. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NepentheZ Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Play a short passing, defensive, slow game, and you'll see possession often hit 65% in a game. Its very difficult to play attacking, fast paced football and have a lot of possession. If you look at real life stats, teams like Man U and Arsenal, don't have a bucket load of possession. I'm not saying they never dominate possession, but its rarely 60%+ in their favor. |You've just got to think how you would like to play. If you want to dominate possession, and have slow, low scoring games, then set your team and tactics up for that.| Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

z712 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 I'm having serious problems dealing with crosses.

z712 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Also, I have serious problems with closing down. when I have it a few notches past the middle, they close down in a fashion that leaves huge gaps in my defensive line, but one notch lower than that they stand there not even attempting to tackle the man on the ball, even if he's right in my penalty box. what the hell!?

Schaber Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 @crosses: try to limt their crosses by show on weaker foot or closing down @closing down: give more closing down to attack-minded players and less to centre backs to disturb the opponent's passing before they advance too close before your goal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarty13 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Stupid Question - On the tactics screen each player has a Green dot next to them, what does this mean? Its how well they play in that position. Bright green being the best and green being acceptable. You don't want players to be yellow or orange unless you have to and even then only for a limited time, like someone gets injured and thats all you have to replace them. You never want the red dot however. MM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James8 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Could someone give me a quick run down on pitch sizes and the tactical changes/approaches required for each? At the start of my season playing as Man Utd I get the chance to choose a pitch size from a selection of 3: Small, Standard and Large. (Small being the shortest and narrowest, Large being the longest and widest). Before an away match, when my scout report tells me that an opponents pitch is long for example, am I to assume that the pitch is also wide - or do long-narrow, short-wide pitches exist in the game? Having read the latest iteration of TT&F I understand that to maintain a tight defence it is best to play narrow on a wide pitch. For pitch lengths, assuming a standard mentality range tactic, does anyone play a deep(er) defensive line on long pitches and high(er) defensive line on short pitches? If so, how many notches (as a guide) can I raise or lower my defensive line before it becomes unattached from my tactic? Thanks... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekers Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 My stupid question. Is it just my imagination or does swapping players fatique them more during a game?

deggesim Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Before the question I inform you that I have the italian version of FM 2009, so I don't know the words used for the settings "regista" and "fulcro del gioco". In tactic screen, what happens if I use playmaker and/or pivot setting while selected players are not in the field (due to injury, substitution or a technical decision)? Does the game choose a player from the eleven in the field or the option, though selected, is not applied? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCarty13 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Im still getting slaughtered in this game here some stupid questions that might help me. 1) I scouted a player I could really use.

Does that mean that I would need 23 million plus in my transfer budget? 2) Does giving a "first team sub" player who is not getting any playing time, a game or two in the reserves, hurt his moral or just up his game? 3) If a great player is struggling with terrible form 5.3, 5.6 etc. Is it a good idea to send him to the reserve team to get his confidence back?

Yonezzz Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Few questions from a noob! 1) How do the arrows tie in with Forward Runs? As in, would setting Forward Runs to high require an arrow to work well or at all? I notice that sometimes the arrows disappear, which I'm guessing is due to when I lower certain players' forward runs. 2) For central defenders, why do they have backward tracking arrows? That may sound stupid, but I would have thought tracking back would be part pf their standard duties anyway. 3) I'm playing with Arsenal, and want Van Persie as my FCd. His positions show he's not good in the classic AMC position (directly behind the striker), so is putting him in one of the two striker positions with a backward arrow equivalent/the best option? 4) Finally, could someone point me in the direction of a noobs guide to a set pieces set up? I don't quite know how best to utilise my men for walls, who should be on the post etc. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't quite know how best to utilise my men for walls, who should be on the post etc. Cheers. 1) Arrows are now just a visual indication of whether forward runs are rare/mixed/often. A forward arrow means often, although this is not displayed for strikers. No arrow means mixed, and a back arrow means rare. Changing the arrows directly alters the forward runs setting and vice versa 2) The back arrow just means they are set to forward runs rarely 3) Sounds sensible. A lot of people have difficulty getting the FCd position to work well though, so be prepared to experiment with his settings 4) Don't know this one I'm afraid...
