stuboy Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Why isn't show onto weaker foot set as the default in opposition instructions, generally that is what footballers do, also assistant will tell you to do it if you haven't. Could it be changed for a future patch? Its just such a pain clicking show onto weaker foot for every player and sub in each game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Yes i agree, i also find it annoying that on the tactics screen, your team instructions and the opposistion team instructions are so far away from each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnyvagus Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 .. and if you generally want your players to do that whoever they come up against... you have to make the change again during the game if the opposition sub a new player on... something i did not realise until recently. I do now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkim Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 There should be a way to save your OI instructions for certain (or all) positions as it's just annoying to have to set them every match, plain and simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennec Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 good point should be able to save them to save time to not have to redo them all the time.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adaephon Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 or even better yet, beneath the Assistant's Feedback tactics box there should be a 'Do It' button which would alter your tactics to meet the Assistant's suggestions without having to go to the tactics screen.

stuboy Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 or set it so that it automatically sets instructions according to the formation, even if it changes during a game, for example if they change to a formation using wide players i want them to be closed down all the time without having to change back and forth, especially as the time for tactical changes to take effect can be so slow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyinuk Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Personally I wouldn't do that to anyone. I have watch it closely in the match and notice it is quite dangerous to use it against player in the centre, like AMC and ST. Because when you set it to "Show onto weaker foot" your player will give room to the opposite player to play on his suppose weaker foot. If that player is not actually that much weaker on that foot then what you are doing is to allow him space to do stuff. So unless the player is Right-only or Left-only (or play in a wide position), i would aviod using that instruction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdez24 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 What if I have two giants in the middle of defence and the opposition has two nippy strikers who aren't going to win an aerial contest but are probably better on the ground? Why would I want the opposition wingers to be automatically set to their weaker foot? I'd want them crossing, not cutting inside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct , you don't use that , unless you want to "coral" them moving into certain direction. Otherwise it can create huge gaps in your defensive formation. Maybe that's one of the reasons(but not main reason) for defensive "meltdowns" that small number of people have according to their posts here on forums.

Why would I want the opposition wingers to be automatically set to their weaker foot? I'd want them crossing, not cutting inside. You instruct your defenders to make wingers to end up running next to out line in case like that. Example, if left footed winger is playing on left side , you should not use that(show onto weaker/right foot) because if you do , that will push him to cut inside (covering his left foot/side) with your FB stranded on outside. If winger is faster /or more agile then your FB, he will then have plenty of space to runaway from defender and create plenty of CCC's. If left winger is right footed, they you should use show onto right , to keep him outside. "Show onto " is more about positioning your defender to cover better, then about preventing opposition to shoot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokes_83 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I agree there should be a "do it" button under the assman's suggestions. Personally I don't want to save the OI of show onto weaker foot because the last thing I want to do is show a great player some space on his "weaker" foot when it is still rated as fairly strong.

You mean the same assman that tells you to, that you must close guy with crossing of 3 , because he's accomplished crosser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
