I recommend speaking for yourself rather than on other's behalf. TFF Already said in regards to those formations : theres NO WAY to do anything worthwhile with them.

I’m sure his point got lost in translation. but regarding those formations, I don’t know why TFF would say that and why you would believe it.

Also he wrote down that he will update Raptor soon, which hopefully meant it'll be even stronger. Well no. Because then that would mean the tactic is only creating the same chances instead of scoring other different ways. Some people, including his Zeus, have ways of creating many different chances. 1v1 shouldn’t be the only chances created. 1v1 aren’t always the best/easiest chances either.

tripoligate4 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Like all years...they say...4321// 433/ 41221 is always weak... only coz they are just lazy to fix something to work , they only work the meta of the year tactic just for the results. if u search around if someone find a 1# /2# tactic they start tweak it foir nothing.,...like it didnt work as original. AAnd OF course is worth to fix those formations and they are already work. Start search forums they are many that are unique and unique playstyle and high tactics also.

Hi mate, According to the patch notes there weren't any ME changes in the last patch and I also hasn't been noticing any different. If you are observing that your results with Wolverine tactic has become worse after the patch then there could be many factors for that… for example, after the match you might start to encounter stronger opponents or simple you might had a bad luck and so on… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pw75 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hi TFF Just wanted to say that you made FM19 for me and I loved the Gladiator tactic as I had about a 70% win ratio with it with a variety of teams. I haven't found any tactic for FM20 that is anywhere near effective but I'm gonna give Zeus a try and hope it makes this game a bit more playable for me. In relation to the 'controversy' I can only make my own personal comments which are that you made a mistake, you acknowledged it, hopefully have learnt from it and we all move on. No-one died and this world should be about forgiveness and a measured response which from SI appears to have occurred so fair play to them. Keep up the good work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentheposh Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Why are the wingers in Raptor using inverted foot if they don't have cut inside and they do have cross from byline. Watching the game you see countless moments where having a strong right foot on the right would be more beneficial. This is not criticism by the way, just an observation that makes me wonder.

Watching the game you see countless moments where having a strong right foot on the right would be more beneficial. This is not criticism by the way, just an observation that makes me wonder. Hi mate, When you give a player "Cross From Byline" PI then you just encourage him to do more "byline crosses" and less "deep crosses" and that's all… during matches even players at the flanks who prefer to cut inside from time to time have an opportunity to cross and "Cross From Byline" PI encourage them go for byline crosses than deep crosses but highly likely those crosses would have out-swing curve. If flanking players don't have "Cuts Inside" PI then it doesn't mean that they won't produce any cut inside runs during matches… there are many different factors that affect players moment with the ball and "Cuts Inside" PI is just one of them. I find that in Raptor tactic it's more beneficial having inverted foot for ML/MR position but of course, feel free to experiment with that and if you see that something else more efficient then you should go for it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On FM Base for example, we stress the tactics by using weaker teams vs stronger teams and then use our own formula to add up the results. I believe FM-Arena use a reputation based system. Which system is more accurate, who really knows, people have had success with our top 5 and also with the top 5 on FM-Arena. Perhaps they're all right in their own way. Also worth noting that 12 isn't a particularly bad score on FM Base, for example we tested some presets that scored under 10 and a lot of people have success with those. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totalfootballfan Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 Guys, I've removed Zeus and Wolverine tactics from the OP, I put them under a spoiler at the bottom of the OP in case someone still want to download it. I removed them because I find that they significantly less effective than Raptor V1 so I don't see any point in having them. I'm going to look at Zeus and Wolverine tactics in the near future and if I manage to improve them then I re-add them to the OP. Also, I've added a video to the OP that shows Raptor tactic, it's for those people who can't download it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
