gunnerfan Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) I realize I might be accused of an overzealous examination of equine dentition, but a string of unusually stunning results stemming from some horrific plays by AI goalies and defenders has me curious if I’ve unwittingly done something to take the AI out of its normal functioning. Own goals do happen, and GKs do sometimes blunder (as we saw this week in Liverpool’s match with RM), but I’ve never seen the AI do it in four matches running. I’m currently playing with a tactic included by Rashidi in his Book of Tactics, a 424 utilizing wing play (I've made some modifications based on my players). It also utilizes 2 central mids, rather than DMs, a set not included in the stock formations of FM23. And that’s what got me wondering if I’ve taken the AI out of its normal function. Or maybe I’m just a brilliant tactician. 😁 Edited February 24, 2023 by gunnerfan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Nile Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 4-2-4 High risk, High reward also you got an idea from Rashidi so you must understand his reasoning with said tactic. 6 hours ago, gunnerfan said: It also utilizes 2 central mids, rather than DMs, a set not included in the stock formations of FM23.

In previous FM's DMs occasionally were a bit passive than CMs when defending but were very solid in controlling the space to the forwards and aggressive against the AMs, so at least in your tactic your control the midfield happens more quicker and regularly than the DMs in FM23.

I do think there are still defensive bugs in the match engine, hoping the Winter Update sees them fixed. Edited February 24, 2023 by Cloud9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
