sixsecondsleft Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I know it ultimately means nothing, but it annoys me to see my preferred tactic in my manager profile as a 4-4-2 when I have never once lined up in a 4-4-2 in my 4+ seasons. 90% of the time, I am in a 4-3-3, and the other 10% will be 4-1-3-2 or 4-3-1-2. Also, it says my coaching style is "defensive," yet I am always playing "control" with high pressure, as well as telling the media I am going to attack. I guess I am curious how the game determines this... and if anyone feels theirs is accurate? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake Appeal Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 When I played a 4-3-1-2 it was. Otherwise, never. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
richpk Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 i play 4-1-1-3-1 short passing, fluid and standard. it says i play 4-3-3 direct and defensive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggusD Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I play a 442 with two DMC and AMR/L, the "preferred tactic" is 4-2-2-2 with two MC. I wonder if that is what the AI thinks I play and thus it gives me an advantage? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOUGHGUY Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I guess there's a finite set of these 'manager prefered tactics' (maybe the default tactics?) and the game tries to somehow fit your actual tactic into this mould (maybe judging by player mentality/roles?).

richpk Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 i have more attacking players in my squad than defending players, but apparently i am a defensive minded coach! not that it makes a difference to my game, just odd. i hadnt actually looked before i saw this thread!

Lusitano Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I've allready noticed this, and bugs me. But what i find odd is that the others teams sometimes adapt their playing styles to the one i do in reality and not the one stated on my profile.

sando123 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I play a flat 4-4-2 but mine says I play 4-2-3-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krald Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I play 4-4-2 primarily on FM2011 and it says 4-4-2, however it has passing as mixed when it's supposed to be direct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolulu Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Never checked this before but I'm shown as a fan of 4-4-2 and I have never, ever, played this formation in this game. I play 4-2-3-1. Very occasionally 4-5-1. FM should get rid of this inf. if they can't get it even remotely right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Play Up Pompey! Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I always play 4-3-3 but it says my preferred tactic is 4-4-1-1 which I have never used. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 It's right for me in FM11, but it took quite a long time to update. It says 4-1-3-2 which I've been playing for around 3 seasons in a row now, as well as using it in my first couple of seasons and intermittently over the few seasons in between (when my main formation was a 4-1-2-1-2 narrow diamond). It said 4-4-2 for abolutely ages, though I hardly use 4-4-2, and only started using it about 2 seasons ago as an alternative tactic for games where my team was much better than the opposition.

bleventozturk Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Interesting. I played 4-1-3-2 from the start, and the first time I checked it (was during my second season) it was already correct. I don't tweak the individual players' sliders much though. I wonder if tweaking them significantly somehow confuses the game when it is trying to figure out your favorite tactic.

CaptainPlanet Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 52 seasons of using the same tactic and it still reports incorrectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixsecondsleft Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Interesting. I'd think this would be a rather easy thing for the game to figure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasp Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Mine has the formation right - 4-1-2-1-2. Mentality is balanced, which is right enough, pressing and marking are off however. I seem to have an attacking coaching style, even though I tend to build my tactics on a strong defense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccer Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 It's seldom accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Billy-Jay Jones Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 My actual preferred tactic is a 4-2-3-1, on my manager's profile it says it's 4-2-2-1-1 which is fairly close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
