Crags, have you tried marcelo's tweak? As you know ive been using the 4222 tweak that you uploaded, its not so good second season, even though my squad has become stronger. Going to give a few other tactics a try!
No mat have you??

Hi everyone, recently purchased FM12. Quite late i know, first time i havent bought the game on the first day of release for about 10 years. Without doubt Il Devasto was best tactic on FM11 so i've headed straight in with this il devasto is back version for FM12. I'm doing ok so far, still early into the game so players getting used to it. 1 result i had was Valencia 7 Barcelona 0! Could not believe it! Not like that every game though! Hows everyone else doing? Has anyone tried the Marcelo tweak? I'm on 12.1.1 patch, is everyone using the same?

I have made a few little tweaks to this which have made this tactic really work for me!

Have both the wingers marking the opposition fullbacks, through balls set to sometimes crossing set to often

The striker on the left with no forward runs and set to mark their MCR closing down at 20 (he should also be set to TM)

Move our DM currently on the left to play DMC

What happens is that when you lose the ball immediately the striker drops into midfield to make a three which mean the DM just sits infront of the CBs making it difficult for them to just pass the ball through when playing against a 4231 just set the DM to mark their AMC and either one of the CBs to mark the lone striker works the same

Have tested this with Reading Villa and Spurs. Won the FA Cup and got promoted with Reading from the championship next season CL with not too many signings, Villa 3rd in the Prem just started with spurs after 25 games top of the league 2 defeats all season.

Creates lots of CCCs

Minor changes for 12.2 which is TM now unticked and wingers set to run from deep sometimes no change in results currently top of the league after 13 games with Spurs.

Have also tested with Doncaster Rovers, got automatic promotion to Prem and subsequent top 6 finish

I played a few games to get to know how 12.2 was doing with 10 notches. As I found I was leaking way 2 many goals.

so I tweaked it when i was happy the results I started a new game.

I mainly tweaked the team settings,

these are few results, when I started a new game.

The Notts County game I played alot of youngsters

Yeah, I've been using your original 10 notches on fm 12.2 with man utd and experienced a similar problem with the defence. I might give your re-tweak a quick try!
To conceded only 50 goals is good I think. Yeah with Wednesday People might say, but I've been Wednesday alot any always has 1 of worse defence when I play.

A few screenshots and a link to the current tactic which is now very solid defensively, critical to get to wingers with a workrate above 10

because i like them, who dunt?

Lol fair enough mate:) Anyway, i'm really struggling to find a good 4-2-4/4-4-2 on this patch. Did you feel your devasto tweak was convincing and good enough?

I know the best thing here would be to just try it myself, but i'm already so far behind city in the league, i dont want to lose any more points lol

I've gone back to 12.1.1 for now until there are a few more tactics released for 12.2.

WHAT?! How do you go back in patches? i thought that wasn't possible!

Made a copy of the entire folder before the latest patch downloaded then deleted all in the default folder and replaced it with the files from the copied folder. On my one computer it failed to load first time but then steam ran a mini update and then it worked. You can just paste the FM12.exe file from 12.1.1 into the default folder but that caused an issue with the skin I was using not showing the current game date. If you are going to do this then I'd recommend backing up the latest 12.2.1 folder first. If you need the 12.1.1 FM12.exe file I could upload it somewhere and pm you the link if you wanted.

Is your Steam offline or online?

Also, changing the .exe file alone will not take you back to the older patch, it will just appear as if it is older the patch because the updates change alot more than just the .exe

Steam is online. I'm pretty sure that whichever .exe file determines which update folder is used therefore running the patch that corresponds to the .exe you use. The tactics are working very differently to how they were on 12.2 once I do it.

Hmm i don't think it works like this. Surely the mini-update you talk about is would just be the update for the latest patch ?

It definitely can't be the update for the latest patch as the .exe file stays as the 12.1.1 version.

To add to this, I'm 100% sure it is running 12.1.1 because a file I saved on 12.2 wouldn't open.
