wrightinio Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Has anybody seen a positive effect from players swapping positions? And do you need to tell BOTH players to swap with each other on their player instructions screen or just one of them? For example, when you tell your AML to swap with your AMR, is that enough? Or do you also need to tell your AMR to swap with your AML in order for it to work? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhroX Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 When my team is wel blend, and gelled is this related to the formation I play or can I use the same players in another formation? There's two seperate things here. Firstly there is the squad gelling, which is essentially how well they know each other. And secondly there's how well they know the formation(s) and tactic(s) you use. So, if you switch formation, they'll be better than when you first started, but not as good as they are with your current formation. Or at least, that's the rough overview. If the new formation and your tactics are similar to the old ones, then there's unlikely to be much of a problem. But if you go from a defensive, counter-attacking, long ball 5-3-2, to a shot passing, possesion based 4-2-3-1, then they'd probably take some time to adapt.

Patchy Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Does tutoring actually improve a players stats and also does it make them more 'like' there tutor in any way? Also with regards to tactics.

Keeping the same tactics improves your tactical consistency, however I have been advised to constantly change or rotate my tactics? Which is 'better'? Thanks guyzzzz! :-) Tutoring makes the person being tutored have their detemination, plus their hidden mental attributes, change towards those of the person doing the tutoring. (eg Learner - det 11, teacher - det 17, will prob lead to the learner ending the tutoring with det 13/14) Tactics - the rotating of tactics doesn't mean changing from a 442 to a 532 to a 4231 etc - it just means changing the setting (eg mentality, closing) in the same FORMATION (eg 442) - so rotating tactics DOES mean playing a 442 (or whatever formation you choose) nearly all the time, but with different settings in the different tactics (eg defensive, standard, attacking as three options, depending on who you are playing, the situation in the match etc) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinGoodey Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 How can you make you player run more a round in free space? I do not necesarrily mean FWD runs Change either forward runs - but not necessarily by making him have MORE - having less will tend to keep him further back in the field and give him (perhaps) more space to play. Can also be acheived by changing mentality, or also by giving him a free role (if he has the ability to play in a free role) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipv Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thats the definintion of free role isn't it, looking for space? Need to have the relevant mental and technichal skills though to work properly. Free role is more wide ranging than that. Any player will look for space, but if you give someone a free role it effectively gives them license to ignore your instructions and their position, and do what they think is right.

Freerole doesn't allow the player to ignore his instruction's that is Creative Freedom. Freerole just allows the player to 'find space' more often and roam the pitch, thus leaving his natural position and being allowed to wander. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P0nt006 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I am a player of the old Champ Man series and now want to play FM. I want to know if you able to win the league as say, Stoke or some other club apart from the big 4? I remember winning 5 premierships and 3 European Cups as Sheffield Wednesday on the old Championship Manager 2. I briefly played FM07, and it seemed to be impossible because you can't sign any players as a minnow club. Perhaps the series has become too realistic - what happened to playing a GAME?

lurkingwithintent Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Disagree with you there! If I was Stoke and was able to sign the best players, create a super tactic and win the Prem in my first season, I would find the game a bit crap tbh, it's a Simulation game - IE realistic.
