Totalfootballfan Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 ********** A new tactic "PYROMANCER" has been added to the OP At the moment there are 3 tactics for the M.E. V2039 can be found at the OP 1) "Punisher" - this is well rounded balanced tactic which can be used in any situation 2) "Pyromancer" - this is slightly attacking version of Punisher, I suggest using in cases when you think you can be more attacking 3) "Executioner" - this is a very attacking version of Punisher tactic, I suggest using in cases when you want to go full attack 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they all have more or less the same efficiency but if you want to use only one tactic then I suggest sticking with Punisher or Pyromancer But if you use all 3 tactics then you can further boost your results Let's say you started match with Punisher tactic and it happened you are losing by 2 goals or more and there's only 45 mins left so in that case it make sense going for Executioner tactic because you really have nothing to lose and Executioner tactic is the most attacking version of Punisher tactic.

n0rek Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I must say it's by far a worst FM I ever played. I've got 27 shots vs 7 of my opponents and I'm losing 3:0, tactic is always the same, long ball from defence behind my CB and it's already 1on1, then it's just a matter of some stupid luck if the guy will score or not. For example Lewandowski can waste 7-8 1on1's when some John Doe will score hattrick at the same time. This game is a total waste of money and time, I'm going back to FM19. SI should be ashamed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Conqueror was rocking everything in FM19 Mate, I'm note sure that I understand your question At the moment the public beta version and the retail version use the same ME (2039) so there's no different between them Conqueror tactic is less effective than Punisher or Pyromancer and I suggest using only if you want to play with AML/AMR very much and if you are ready to sacrifice some efficiency for that if you'd ask me then the game is very challenging at the moment and the last update made it even more challenging so there isn't excessive efficiency that can be sacrificed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general training attempts to change the attributes and usually it requires season or even longer to see a slight change If you talk about "Match Preparation" then you can try but I find it gives a quite small effect so I don't think it'll be a "gamechanger" Heh... sometimes you lose a match 0 - 2 then you reload game save and re-play it and you can win 0 - 5 so it's just luck/randomness Probably, when you were winning by 10 goals margin you played vs weak opponents that used a low efficient tactics and you were lucky and your attackers were scoring all their chances and now you play vs stronger opponents and you might be unlucky when it comes to converting your scoring chances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
