Cleon Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Some of you (Notely Buxton ) go to great extremes to create names for a tactic once you have created them, so how do you name your tactics?

ETM Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 I generally name my tactic after the way it plays, at the moment my tactic is called Enigma, as sometimes i will spank the likes of Chelsea 4-0 and others i will lose 3-0 to Wigan, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxton Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Played 2 friendlies, I'm using Inter. Won 4-0 away to Hannover and just drew 1-1 away to Bolton and really should of won that. I've already had a re-think on what I want though (and the name has changed already too ). My aim is for a counter-attacking tactic based around a back 3 and wide men with Barrows. From what I saw in the 2 friendlies I'm reasonably happy with how the defenders and barrowed wingers play, it's getting the rest of it set up to best suit the CA style.

Jaz Guram Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 My tactics, since CM4, have all been creative euphamisms for the female genitalia. I fondly remember how 'Ham Flower' took my Wolves team marching into the premier league elite, and how 'Sirloin Swing Doors' rescued my Liverpool team from the AI-cracked 'Flangeburger' mid-season. I'm currently using a variation of a tactic discussed by Cleon in another thread that I have tentatively called 'Doner, all meat no salad'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukesisking Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I always name my tactics after snake names, I've had the taipan, the red-bellied black, tiger snake, fierce snake, coral snake, swamp python (a slow long-ball tactic), cobra obviously. Although the best and longest lived was probably the worst name, the carpet snake. It was a fancy 343 with fm05, took Darlington to the glittering heights.

Jorgen Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 If you rename a tactic, do the players think it is another tactic and need time to get comfortable with it again? Or does name-changing have no effect at all? At the moment my tactic is called "GO", just as a working title. Before it was always "Formation Team Home/Away", this is the first one that got a new name. When I have completed making this tactic work, it will receive a new name.
