Bubsa Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Hello all. As many of you will know, swapping positions your wingers and/or strikers in the individual instructions can make it harder for them to be man marked. However, I was thinking about how this was applied in FM09. Let's say, for instance, I have 2 strikers, one with typical target man instructions, the other with poacher instructions. I then ask them to swap positions with each other. With regards to their instructions, what happens? Does the target man striker, when he swaps positions, 'inherit', as it were, the position's instructions he's swapped to. Or, does he keep his individual instructions, and just use them in the new position. Hope that was clearer than mud for you. Thanks in advance!

Feng Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Bubsa, I believe that the player would 'inherit' the instructions from the position he moves into rather than take his own instructions with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

googoo56 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 A post from the guy from another thread: "If you really can't win consistently with United (or any big club) in FM09, you should spend less time whining about it on these forums and more time at the drawing board/reading tactic bibles." So I thought this type of manner is what he prefers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're only further proving my point and we wouldn't want that now, would we? Feng, cheers for your input. Is there anyone else who can help out with this?

googoo56 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Come on son, why do you come here asking stupid questions, when you could just figure it out for yourself? Go back to the drawing board or to your tacitc bibles as you say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Bubsa - it wouldn't work because after swapping positions your strikers would have the wrong instructions. I use the function if I have 2 strikers with identical instructions, or with a AMC/FC who can swap with an FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawee Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I thought swapping position only means they swap positions, physically, but their settings remain the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 ^ The last 2 posts show exactly the confusion I have It's not a major dilemma for me, I guess I'm more curious now as to whether phnomenhandy or Kawee is correct. Any help? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhroX Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 They change instructions too - the instructions are tied to the position, not the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parkera Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 They change instructions too - the instructions are tied to the position, not the player. You would think that their instructions would stay with them, why else call it INDIVIDUAL instructions! To me individual instructions mean instructions for that player not his position. If the case is that he doesn't retain the instructions maybe they should rename it to positional instructions or something else, as the name alone gives the impression that the instructions are for that player! The manual says that ' You can designate instructions to any indivdual to talior their playing style specifically.' An that setting indivdual instruc overrides team instructions. Maybe some one from SI could clarify this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Parkera - you're logic is spot on; unfortunately it isn't SI's logic! People have been asking for the last few versions of the game for a way to keep the instructions given to a player, not just the position - alas, so far no dice.

Bubsa Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 So, in essence, there aren't any player instructions, but positional instructions? You have instructions for a position and, for any player who plays there, starting or swapping in, abides to those instructions? ...Aw balls! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Same with subs. It'd be great to tie instructions to a player, so when you bring them on they have instructions tailored to them, not whomever they replaced.

Wen u make a substitution the player that comes on to the field inherits the players instructions that has left the field so it cud be the same with swapping positions.

Bubsa Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Yeah, I mean with the sub couldn't you just change the man on the pitch's tactics, then sub him? The new stuff only kicks in after the little "Maknig tactical changes" method anyway. Or am I completely missing the point here?

(Having one of those days it seems) Oh yes, you can do this, but it would be easier and quicker if you could "preset" instructions for players. Unlike the swapping positions thing, it's not a mechanics issue, more a QOL one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
