Yonezzz Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 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 versa2) 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... Ah, thanks for the quick reply. I guess I'll just have to have a fiddle with the set-pieces to find out what works. Ta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick27 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'm in the year 2012 and I've never produced a world class regen through the youth ranks. How can I produce at least one great player a year or is this even possible? I'm playing FM08 if that makes any difference, Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben5903 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 You have to get the balance of good training schedules (you need good coaches and training facilities aswell) and first team exposure. Up until the age of about 19-20ish you keep your players at your club. Then start offering them out on loan, its better to accept offers if they say 'will be a valuable member of the first team' so you know they will get matches on loan. Its also worth finding out which clubs have the best training facilities and coaches so that they will then get better training whilst on loan. After you feel they are ready to break into your first team start to introduce them gradually, starting with smaller domestic cups and bringing them on as subs in your main competitions. The main factors are your timing and training, get these right, and aslong as they have a decent PA you should develop your players well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipv Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 The preferred moves bar in the training section is always grayed out (none)....how can I get this to work? To teach preferred moves you either have to go through personal interaction with the player, or get them to learn off another through tutoring. PPMs cannot be learned through normal training Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKW Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Three extremely stupid questions for any tactics gurus out there! 1-Does balance matter? If I play a AML but not an AMR and set instructions to focus passing down the right flank will this muck up the balance of my side? 2-Does width matter at all? At the moment I'm playing 4-1-3-2 with instructions set to narrow. It's working very well but should I get the fullbacks to push up or will this expose my defence? 3-I want to retrain Arshavin to MC-he can play AMC, AMR, AML, MR and ML and is accomplished at them all apart from AMC where he is a natural. However he is inneffectual at MC and 3 months in he's made no progress-should I jack it in? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you on patch 9.2, cos the issue of strikers getting low ratings has been sorted in this patch? Can anyone point me in the direction of some decent corner kick tips or has there not been any real discussion on this yet? Search the forum - there are loads of threads about this Why don't the attribute change arrows on the training screen match the attribute change arrows on the overall profile screen? The arrows in the training screen are an indication (so I've been told) of the general trend of how those attributes are increasing. What you have to remember is that in the background, each attribute is 0-100, while we only see them as 0-20, so for example, if someone's passing is shown as 12 to us, it could be between 56-60 on the 0-100 scale. Thus an arrow saying it is increasing in the training screen may just mean it has moved from 56 to 57 - so no visible increase in the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When looking at the position of players in the tactics screen you can have the players with suggested runs indicated by arrows. Now in the old version you could have runs anywhere, I seem to now be only able to do a run forward or a run back. Is there any way to get it back like it was in 08?

beardedwonder Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It takes all mystery out of the game. For example, if you know a players PA you know excatly how good he can get and can check his CA to see when he's got there. Pretty sure there's a check box when starting a game about showing hidden attributes although don't know if it will reveal all.

jamcl_jamcl Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 First post - not sure if this is a stupid question or not: I recall a guide for FM08 that showed what different attributes were required in your coaches to achieve 7 star ratings for all categories. For example, your attacking coach must have 18 for Attacking and 16 for Technical, your ball control coach must have 18 for Technical and Tactical. Does any such guide exist for FM09, and if not, will the FM08 guidelines still apply to FM09? Many Thanks! J Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
