widowmaker- Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 6 hours ago, The Cult of FM said: Come on there's no need for that. On my UEFA B course with our UEFA Pro license tutor one of the first things he said to us was "Us coaches are the biggest thieves on the planet. We watch other teams/coaches for ideas, take those ideas, tweak them to suit our version of it then pass it off as our own work" Guardiola got his ideas from Cruyff ( and is openly proud of it ) . Mourinho by Van Gaal, Bobby Robson and others. They didn't come up with their ideas just sat at their laptop one day moving some counters around on a screen. So you could argue it's just as realistic. People also come in here and download for many reasons. I personally come in these types of threads to see if there are any tactics around that are similar to my own and comparing my success to the other top tactics ( Knaps 4-3-2-1's are outperforming mine ). If the other tactics are doing better then I like to see where I'm going wrong in the match engine and what I might need to tweak In my own to make it better. I know you said not like I mind and I'm not having a go at you personally by the way I'm making a general point about it. You clearly missed my point. I was offering a different view on his claim to cheating, I wasn't saying the DL'ing of a Knap Tactic, for example, was cheating. I was trying to tell the dude to step away, let people play how they want to...cheat or not, they pay their money, they play how they like. Also, I'm not sure you can compare IRL manager tactic creations/recreations to the beating the FM AI. With respect, and i mean no shade, I'm not a kid that needs educating on the reasons people frequent these forums. I honestly feel we have the same opinions, just expressed slightly different, hence the confusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling for time to play FM on full mode, has anyone used these tactics on touch? Been reading up on touch and seems like it might fit better for me at the minute I'm not having a go at Knap, it's just so many of these tactics are now same-same but different, it's as though almost any tactic could be used with Liverpool and get results. In most screenshots Salah is smashing goals and assists, regardless of his position. I understand you don't want there to be too many variables (ie changing teams too often), but at what point do you accept that almost any tactic will probably work with Liverpool, and therefore it's probably not a good basis for tactical creation? If this is not the place for hypothetical discussions then I apologise and will leave it alone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

knap Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 @grazdoztrez What I have found over the years is that tactics made with say Newcastle are seldom make good universal tactics, but those created using top clubs are more universal The results I see from Rober tend to indicate these Lpool tactics work for underdogs suc,h as Sheffield Utd winning PL. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I understand that you don't want a tactic to be pigeon holed to a specific set of players and/or skills - which are not transferable from say Newcastle to Watford. But if the purpose is to make a tactic which performs best vs the ME and you have a players like Salah that can play very well at seemingly any advanced role, at what point does he and others like him 'break' the tactic's universal capabilities? So, quickly looking through the tactics posted above; Holy Ghost Fire asymmetric: Salah playing as pressing forward to the right; 54 goals, 7 assists. Holy Ghost Fire 4-2-3-1: Salah Playing as right winger attack; 30 goals, 41 assists. Kashmir RMD; Salah playing as right RMD attack; 26 goals, 35 assists. If it doesn't matter where someone like Salah plays and you will still get 61+ direct goal contributions, doesn't that discredit the tactical set up/positions/roles as that player is overwhelmingly good? Outside of maybe 3/4 teams, you're not going to have a player this good and be able to carry you to 61+ goals. Surley to make it universal and transferable you need to know the positions/roles still work with lesser commodities? Also I see VVD has got 16+ goals in each of those tactics. I'm not saying that set pieces aren't a part of the game or part of a tactic, but that level of, dare I say exploit, it again harms the true ability of the tactic as a stand alone weapon against the ME? Don't we want the tactic to be the best, first and foremost, and then add the META/OP/exploit options on top to essentially supersize it? Rather than bloat the tactic with META/OP/exploit options so that we don't know the true value of the tactic in the first place? -Again, I apologise if I'm speaking out of turn or appear to be rude, passive aggressive or what have you. I love the game and I want to improve my own learning and interactions within it. And that can only be done by understanding the raw data and the processes. I have used a number of your tactics this season, and for that I am grateful, sadly I haven't been able to stick with any of them long term as the results are not nearly as good as with the Liverpool SS. I've found it hard to get 16 goals out a forward let alone a centreback. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

knap Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 @grazdoztrez There are many views of what a tactic should be how tested with what test teams etc etc As a player of the game I would suggest you draw up a list of what you want from a tactic and set up your own test to test your ideas and theories. An example is the French Underdog Tests.. From those tests you can see that teams predicted to finish just above relegation zone can end up challenging for the title with PSG.
