I'm continental C, regional level professional at Bolton. Their last manager was sacked with them rooted to the bottom of the table, I've been in charge for about 10 games and that's where they still are 😁. The whole team hates me because Eoin Doyle 'the Irish Messi' fell out with the last manager over playing time, wants to go back to Ireland and I blocked the move. Even though I backed down most of the squad holds some resentment against me. 👍 And I'm already using a super geggenpress, attacking tactic with a near post corner routine.

I just don't know how some of you can be playing the same game.

Weller1980 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Im a bit annoyed that FM22 was advertised with the statement saying that the default gegenpress tactic is no longer a plug and play win tactic. I completely disagree with that statement! The default gegenpress is totally overpowered with zero consequences. No matter the quality of the team from top Prem clubs to vanarama South clubs, I select gegenpress and win win win.

Yep, needs fixing. - Although you could argue that we've just grown to use to tactics being an important part of the game. Harry Redknap famously didn't use tactics, just man management and motivation. and was consistently in the top 4 for several years.

zindrinho Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Same thing happens if you just choose clean slate too, you just win everything. I do change the roles within my formation though. I cant remember a proper long term save in 10yrs, they just end quickly because I am superior within the league in all aspects within just a few seasons. FM10 to FM12 somewhere I remember taking Wolves from the bottom of the Prem steadily increasing table position every season, saving up money to buy 1 brazilian star player from Shaktar Donetsk every summer. It was awesome, some of the best gaming memories I have to this day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCCook Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Playing as Sporting CP, only made a couple small transfers in for depth, and I'm first after 10 matches, with 36 goals scored, 2 conceded. I'm using a clean slate tactic with some elements of possession and vertical tiki-taka, on a balanced mentality, and regularly scoring 4-5 goals against most sides. I know the Primeira Liga isn't that good outside of the top 4, but been a bit surprised how big the gulf is between the top sides and the rest.

Bradley21 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Game is stupid easy to win on, as usual. It's almost impossible to not get first season Champions League minimum with any team in the game, in whatever league. From there it's just a matter of winning everything every season.

However, I'm playing as Kelty Hearts, I'm in season 3. I've had back to back promotions and I'm 2nd in the Championship in Scotland. I play mainly in lower leagues or in smaller nations trying to build their rep, last year I played in Wales trying to get them into the top 10. I'm used to losing, I'm used to things taking a long time, I'm definitely not the best player in the world. So either I missed something about Kelty Hearts being really really good, or somethings wrong/exploitable that I'm unaware of. My striker is scoring goals like you wouldn't believe and we even beat Hearts and Celtic(Celtic 1-4 Kelty Hearts, first team played by Celtic). I've barely made any signings and we're still semi professional. I started with a default 5-3-2 then moved to a more traditional 4-4-2 with advanced wingers. I've not strayed too far away from the default settings tactically as I've not really needed to, I tweek as I need to but on the main its been a sort of plug in and play. Is there a known exploit that's making strikers unbelievable, or have I just been good?

lckyby Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Gegenpressing does still work very well now despite the scary stories early on. I have been testing out my tactics in a few saves and the first thing I do in every game now is immediately go to player search and look for: ST with heading, jumping reach, strength, 185cm. Llorente (scored 44 goals in the Championship in a save last night), Lucca, DCL (both amazing for me so far), Zapata, Ibra... Even without the corner tactic, it is very easy to win with a good target man. It should be a bit harder than this...

phd_angel Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 FM22 does feel easier, at least when compared with FM21. In two saves thus far: 1. Flamengo (Brazil top division) - lost only 3 out of 50 matches. Champion of all leagues and cups, except continental Libertadores. 2. CD Ibiza (Spain fourth division) - unbeaten in 30 matches! Never happened. I was on my way to win the league and be promoted, but I had to start a new save. Now, Ok, Flamengo is a continental powerhouse, but CD Ibiza is not (expected to end 5th place in the 4th division). I never performed that easily in many years... As I said, maybe FM21 was particularly difficult, so we find FM22 so easy to win... Thoughts?... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee you will win everything simply by adding PIs during matches, like your CB man marks their lone striker, your wingers follow their FB/WBs if they get too much space. It doesnt matter which team you choose, any tall CB could mark Lewa and Kane or whoever it would be completely out of the game in FM21. If he should fail to win the challenge for the ball you have another CB behind him to cover. This is why me and a couple others complain that the game is too easy. We make long plans and dreams about taking a minor club up the divisions, or taking a newly promoted top division team from relegation strugglers, to mid table team and then push on towards European places. But what happens is you win european places in your first season, next season you go unbeaten until January, leading the league by a countrymile. So there's no joy in scrapping that 0-0 against bayern or PSG or whoever anymore, you just expect to win every game 2 seasons in. Dreams fulfilled, now what? Maybe(??) I'm terrible, but I was at the exactly predicted position (5th and 6th respectively) for two years in a row, I got some players , not something special because the club was debt-ridden and transfers are hard in this FM imho (yay!). I remember a match where both my left full backs AND my central defender playing as a left back couldn't stop an opposition right winger-forward. For reference, my fullbacks had positioning 13 and 14 and jumping 9 and 10. He had off the ball 12 and jumping 16. Putting the cd left with jumping 14 and positioning 13 kinda limited him but not much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sthptngomad76 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) The one thing I have done to create a challenge for myself (ignoring the usual avoiding a particular tactic, or pretending the search bar isn't there, or only buying Northern Irish players starting with the letter L) is to start in bottom division of obscure leagues which aren't in the base game (Moldova, Kazakhstan). The gulf in class usually negates any gegenpress supertactic you can throw at it- so there's something to keep things interesting, until something changes. Which I doubt ever will sadly.

I usually find things like that are caused by using too many individual instructions which can actually contradict the team instructions. A common example: tight marking and high closing down - these are contradictions, how can you tightly man-mark an assigned opposition player and gengepress the opposition team when they are in possession!

Thanks, i will look into it, I don't think I've done anything out of the ordinary I don't use tight marking I just close down a bit (I don't use gegenpress just my own tactic which is a simple enough 4-3-3) I see lots of good things in the display, I think it was just a case of him being superior in the air and in great form. To be fair, he belonged to the team that was competing for the title (AEK) and he had very nice mental and physical attributes (for the league level I mean) (Frank Tsadjout is his name). In this particular match I was using stand-off (regroup) tactics and cautious mentality. My counterattacks are usually good they don't just gift possession ( I don't have "pass into space" enabled) I drew the match 2-2 but he missed like 5 headers from point blank. My defenders were there they just couldn't cope with his aerial ability. What really stopped him was me returning my right winger (MR -defensive winger - defend) so their left back couldn't cross so often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t change the way teams play on cautious or defensive (very timid) but increasing manager’s attacking mentality across the board will definitely reduce the frequency that the AI will start the game on cautious or defensive mentalities. From my experience from setting Al managers to 20 attacking in my league, I only saw relegation favorites start games with a cautious mentality while on the road (balanced at home) everyone else would switch to a more defensive mentality during the game.

outlawish Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) I try to do everything to make the game less easy. After back to back - easy - promotions and reaching the CL with Kaiserslautern I started another save. Because I didn't need to win 13 back to back bundesliga titles in the next 13 years and win 3-4 CL titles. So I decided to play with Athletic Club. I'm still in the first season, bought just one player for the first team - luca sangalli. I thought it would be more difficult and more fun to play, but it isn't. I didn't download any "super tactic", I made just a regular 4-3-3 myself. I don't play gegenpressing because it's op. I don't use any corner tactic or whatsoever. I don't use any shouts because I don't want to motivate my players too much. I played 17 games and won 5-2 vs. Real Madrid, 4-1 vs. Atletico, 3-1 vs. Barcelona. I'll win the league in the first season. I can't do much more to loose some games. of course we - or at least most of us - want the game to be easier than irl. there aren't many people who would want to be in the second bundesliga after eight seasons or play europa league once in a while with Athletic Club - but please, please can I at least need 3-4 seasons to beat the likes of Real Madrid or PSG? I'm frustrated... Edited December 9, 2021 by outlawish 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near post corners are definitely the biggest issue in the game imo, Lorenzo Lucca had 50 league goals alone for me. feel like lyon have such a balamced side made 1 signing (squad player) and im flying through this league already beaten psg away convincingly in general last few FMs if you start the season well its very easy to runaway with the league if you have a decent advanced forward and solid defence and play with a combo of high press and posession Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paganizer Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Newest patch totally messed up my team. 3 draws, 4 losses. None of my tactics are working anymore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I need to tweak my tactic now the new patch has been released. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I also find the game a lot harder after the updates, not yet unplayable but we´re getting there. I hope at least the "the game is too easy"-guys are happy with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
