enterprise1 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 How effective are preset tactics? I've been considering starting a save using just the preset tactics, un-altered. I'm thinking in theory they must work, otherwise SI wouldn't include them in the game? Surely if they're used under the right circumstances then you'd have success. For example using control possession preset against a counter attacking opposition? Gegen against a possession based system etc... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMunderachiever Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 To be honest, if this was the case, the game would be a bit pointless? Its like, whats the point in turning all the driving aids off on a driving game, if I can go quicker with them all turned on? Surely the point is NOT using the preset tactics should mean you can make gains that you cant achieve with the pre sets? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enterprise1 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Yes I see what you're saying there. I'm just curious to know if anybody else has tried this, that's all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoof-it Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Depends who you are and maybe expectations are. i was real Madrid with control possession on 19 and won league and all domestic cups. To me they are a base and some a little extreme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 We tested them on FM Base just to see how they perform really, and they weren't ideal. Does feel they are meant to be more tweaked and altered dependant on the opposition compared to other tactics around. Excuse the pun, but they are certainly more suited to a base of a better tactic then using one of them constantly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enterprise1 Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 I’m not particularly tactically minded and usually have to rely on popular tactics from knap etc. I’ve used the wing play preset with roles to suit my players and gained promotion with Ipswich in league one. Although I guess they have a stronger squad than most in the division so a fairly basic system would do the job anyway. But as soon as I’m back in the championship it obviously becomes more challenging and I don’t particularly want to use wing play anymore. It’s difficult to escape the mindset of wanting/expecting to win every match and accepting that you’re going to lose more games in a tougher division. After all it’s just a game and I just want to have fun playing. Frustration does tend to take hold of me when developing my own system so that’s why I wondered about the presets. I may as well stick with tried and tested tactics from knap etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilly1979 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I would imagine if you have the correct players for the roles then it shouldn’t be a problem however with players who don’t suit the roles then it will be asking for trouble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
