Weston Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 4 hours ago, Sticx said: It seems like all of the tactical changes are being centered on tactic creation which is good, but I would like to see more going into helping you adjust tactically during a match. I can design a good functioning tactic, but struggle t adapt to the Ai manager changes. For example, it would be great if your assistant could let you know during a match something like "hey boss, they are building all of their attacks through our left side, maybe we should put a bwm there to counter?" Or "they are attempting a lot of long balls over the top, maybe we should drop our d-line back a bit." You could argue that all of the information is there for you to find out yourself, but with all of that information it can feel like you're trying to drink from the fire hose st times. It would be nice if your assistant gave you helpful advice instead of hey, we're winning our fair share of headers, let's pump the ball into the box nonsense. I agree. I can build a solid tactic but struggle to adapt during matches. I find it odd that I could be at a top club and have an assistant manager with very high tactical knowledge and judging player ability and he still gives me the same useless "we're being overrun in midfield" advice that my default assistant manager in Serie C repeated ad nauseam as well. I'd love to see better feedback from backroom staff, tactically and otherwise, and I also think there should be more variation between high and low quality staff. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How far away is the new ME ? It's been a couple of years since it was mentioned it was in the works , has it not ? The hope is there has been some significant tweaking to the current ME to reflect how modern pressing works. Given there has been changes to attacking and defensive width in the tactics you’d expect this has also been tweaked in the ME. Proof will be in the pudding to how it plays out and what the impact is on the realism of matches/stats etc. Highly suspect it won’t be quite right until after a patch or two.

chris31k Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Le 06/10/2018 à 14:05, Scoham a dit : FM18 didn’t allow you to - set attacking and defensive widths - play an attacking defensive forward (renamed a pressing forward) - choose to counter press, regroup or mixed (i.e. neither selected) on any mentality - choose to counter, hold shape or mixed (neither selected( on any mentality - play a Libero at DC - choose to play for set pieces - more options means more styles of pressing through combination of pressing intensity, defensive line, line of engagement, split attacking/defensive width, counter press/regroup/mixed and opposition instructions To say there’s nothing new isn’t true. There’s not loads but definitely some very good changes there. I’d rather they got these spot on for both the player and the AI than add a lot of new options that’s don’t work properly. Set attacking width : false you can do it easily with the width team instructions. Set defensive width : what's the point ? Defensive width is determined by the shape of the attacking team. You don't want your wingback to play narrow when the opponent play with wingers out wide. The defensive positioning is 100% determined by the opponent, not the formation. And how you can tell your defenders to mark tighter and to hold a defined shape at the same time, nonsense. Attacking defensive forward false easy to do using the right role tweaked with player instructions Counter is a matter of tempo and passing style, pressing is tweakable in every mentality, same for tempo and passing Libero at DC again what's the point : having a DC who covers, don't do too much pressing and try to play from the back : tottally doable with right role and player instructions Play for set pieces : you seriously think that this thing will make a big change in tactics and ME Come on! In fact I think the power of fm18 tactics is underrated because a lot of instructions were unclear and the consequences of tactical choices was unclear too. So now it seems that you can do a lot of new things but actually everything was doable in fm18 but it took time to understand the badly named mentalities or the combinations of roles, duties, positions, team and player instructions plus players preferred moves.

You can have a sort of playmaker in the center of a 3 men defense...by setting a high defensive line (they'll support midfield) and give the one in the center the ball playing defender role and you can even reinforce that by training him with the right PPM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris31k Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Defensive width is totally dependent of the attacking shape of the opponent. The only situation were you can ignore the wingers and get as narrow as possible is when you park the bus, i give you that. Again not a thing that will change all the game approach as its available for only one tactical style. But that's not the point, i will buy the game, i love this game, SI made a fantastic job. But don't fool me, the game become more and more casual, new features are harder to find as many things have been done already (especially in tactics) and this year tactics revamp announcement is a clear example of that.

DiStru_ Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Can someone explain how you would benefit from changing defensive width? I tend to make a lot of changes during matches and I often find myself switching to defensive or contain, to protect the lead. And I'm pretty sure that defensive width changes with that, meaning the whole thing was already in the game, just under the hood. When I watch matches while playing on those low mentalities, the defensive width gets really narrow, I find even wingers tucking in much more than you would expect. I'm also pretty sure that @Rashidi mentioned using mentality to change defensive width in one of his videos, but I could be wrong about that (don't remember exactly where I saw or read about it).

But tweaking some of the others options you can indirectly set for example the defensive width or a lot of other things As for the flexibility that fm19 brings. To do what ? have a conservative line of defence with an agressive attacking unit ? Set the tempo, the passing, use the right roles. And team shape allows you to split mentalities between players.

Totally agree with you. More players are a good thing for everyone, and if making thing easier can brings some more people to play fm i would be very happy. To be honest i think that the critics and the press don't salute FM as it should be. I play video games for decades and FM is deeper than 99% of the recent games. It reminds me the old games that you have to play 200 hours to finish. Learning all the mechanics, failing hundreds of times But don't forget your loyal players that have spent 200h on every iteration. Make the game more casual, easy to understand is good for everyone as i said before but not sufficient to please the guys that bought every game you released And i know that the new options will be a huge update for a lot of players, but i can't honestly say that its new and a big revamp, not after spending hours tweaking things up in fm18, losing games, raging against ME to finally understand whats needs to be done in tactics module to achieve styles of play and making my team do what i want them to do. But i clearly understand why the game needs to be more casual, more clear and i see the benefits of it for everyone, even me : more players = more money = more resources to develop new features in future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the A.I isn't strong enough that it can allow us more freedom to replicate reality (tiki-taka involving CBs during build-up play (With-Possession) to waste time or maintain possession) With these new tactical styles, i expect tiki taka or Gengenpress to represent reality to a better degree in the match engine Yeah S.I lets add "ball magnetism" to BPD or a team instruction where you "Involve Defense" during Build-Up Play (With-Possession) All we can do is wait for the BETA and see how the ME plays with the new Tactical Features. It is a long and difficult process but i believe the ME and Tactic System can improve and improve over time.

Until now it was sort of obvious to me, that the lower the mentality, the narrow the defensive shape (less space between the players), so I didn't think much about it. I'm interested to see how defensive width and opposition instructions interact. I normally play a narrow 4-1-2-1-2 midfield diamond so I need my fullbacks to make up for the lack of wingers. I usually compensate by instructing them to always close down the opposition wide players, dragging them up and out to try to stop crosses from being let off, however this sometimes leaves me caught out when the other team's fullbacks overlap the winger. Perhaps setting my defense to wide but leaving the OI blank this will put my fullbacks in the right area to begin with but allow them to make their own decisions based on the situation. I'll have to play around with this, maybe I'll set them wide but also keep the OI, I'm not sure. Really I would like the two CMs to track back with the oncoming opposition fullbacks, but I haven't really figured out how to do this well, it seems like the "close down" OI really speaks more to my fullbacks.

chris31k Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Having a new role for CB : playmaking defender. He attract the ball and push the midfield up front as he takes responsibility for the restart of play, keeping the ball, looking for a good pass as the midfield spread out. It allows you to have one more men to build up your attacks as the deep lying playmaker can be higher, every man on midfield is a solution of pass and the "first build-up pass" is the responsibility of the playmaking defender. Ask guardiola, he invented it he always give the responsibility of the "first build up pass" to one of his central defenders and tells his midfielders to spread out to occupy space. That why its very hard to press high against guardiola . But this new role needs to change the behavior of his teammates, not espacially his behavoir, as the BPD is already there. It needs to makes players pass him the ball and to midfield spread out to offer passing solutions higher up on the pitch Thats a new feature !!

He attract the ball and push the midfield up front as he takes responsibility for the restart of play, keeping the ball, looking for a good pass as the midfield spread out. It allows you to have one more men to build up your attacks as the deep lying playmaker can be higher, every man on midfield is a solution of pass and the "first build-up pass" is the responsibility of the playmaking defender. Ask guardiola, he invented it he always give the responsibility of the "first build up pass" to one of his central defenders and tells his midfielders to spread out to occupy space. That why its very hard to press high against guardiola . But this new role needs to change the behavior of his teammates, not espacially his behavoir, as the BPD is already there. It needs to makes players pass him the ball and to midfield spread out to offer passing solutions higher up on the pitch Thats a new feature !! CB (playmaking defender) sounds like pique, sounds like a perfect role. Mate this is what we should be discussing, how to get CBs to be more involved in build-up play and attacking phase (with possession). in order to create benefits of wasting time, maintaing possession or finding space in the midfield or final-third. CB's can now be Libero in FM19, Liberos support midfielders and strikers by going further up during build-up and attacking play (with possession) . Can we have 2 CB's as Liberos? can anyone confirm this? Libero is good, However we need CBs that supports the midfielder by holding position and being available to tiki taka with them, tiki taka between the CB and the Midfielders to maintain possession, find space or waste time.

chris31k Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 you're telling us that changes in tactics creator are complex, that they requires revamping ME and AI or it wont work suggesting that we cant ask for changes just like that. Bringing that in that conversation is weird, buy anyway... I've read a little bit more of the posts on this thread and i made my opinion : nothing new in tactics, and i realize, reading the other posts before today that i'm clearly not the only one thinking that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what SI made with the "libero". If its the playmaking defender ive described its what you looking for, its a great new feature but the name libero is false. But thats not the first time SI messed up with the names of its features. If its a BPD who plays higher up on the pitch, as a moderator told me before, its useless and very risky in transition phases Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tactical styles presets is nothing more than a bunch of team instructions chosen by the game and not by you. There's not a single instruction that you can't assign in fm18. Nothing new, it just made easier to create a tactic. I would love to see how I can, as I seemingly can in FM19, have a real gegenpress, Klopp-style. I've tried, in vain, to get the players to follow this exact principle: If the ball is lost then have a insanely high pressure for about 5-7 seconds, should this fail to regain the ball, then fall back into a structured defensive shape. In FM18, I cannot do this, I cannot BOTH have a high pressing and a stand-off style after the defensive transition, as far as I know. This seems to be possible in FM19, though we will have to wait and see. Transitional instructions are partially possible in FM18, but gegenpressing is not an aspect that is possible as far as I know. I've asked around, both here and other places, and I have gotten a lot of suggestions, but none that have implemented anything resembling gegenpress. So if you have a tactic where this actually works, please link me to it and let me try it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The absence of any match footage to demonstrate the very concepts that players are most excited about of is deeply alarming. It's like a company marketing a new mobile phone, but only showing you the shop front and the clothes their staff will wear. I'm fully aware that a counter argument to this is that the ME is constantly being worked on up to release, but they surely must have been able to show us a proof of concept; even if it were a few seconds of 2D footage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't run an ME video this early since FM12. Which also had the least work done to it pre-release. Nothing alarming about it, it's usually one of the last things to come out.

Oh I don't know, but from the images we have seen and the discussion and statements from SI it seems we SHOULD be able to, at least to a much wider extent, recreate things like this in FM19. What I argued is that the user stated there were no changes based on what we had seen so far. And that is just plain wrong. Though IF these things will not show in the actual match, then he might be correct. But by what we have to go on at the moment, in regards to transitional instructions, then there is most definitely changes from FM18 to FM19. As @themadsheep2001 states, they rarely show ME footage very early, so in that regard I'm not overly concerned. I do hope there are big improvements in the ME this year. They also haven't shown any information regarding what I consider a key aspect, manager AI in regards to transfers and squad management. Now, this might not be something that user who play for a couple of seasons will notice, but when you play long term saves quite far into the future, then you see big gaps in squads, managers who use their entire budgets on a 7th striker top striker when they glaring issues in midfield, or defense. This also goes for player AI, both inside and out of matches. Players wanting to leave "to win titles" when I'm challenging for the title, while the reputational bigger club are heading for relegation, stuff like that. For me this is the biggest thing I would like to see improved, along these tactical changes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosecki99 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 They don´t show ME, because it is exactly the same as FM18. They only add a few animations!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
