pointon27 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hmmm people dont implement OI's?I have been using them all of the back end of my 2nd season (my most recent) with Man Utd and won the league and the Champs League. Have not been using them in my friendlies as I cant be bothered but are wipping teams 4 or 5 nil so will try in the league. People have different opinions on opposition instructions and if you get it wrong you could suffer badly. For example some people say you should tightly mark opposition quick strikers, others say not to, personally i think if you tight mark them once they turn you their through on goal, on the other hand if you close them down often, they could knock the ball past you and be through on goal. So for this reason i just dont bother with either and hope my defenders will choose the right course of action. The same can be said for creative midfielders, close them down often , could result in gaps in your formation if the opposition player is good enough he'll exploit the gap that the closing down player has left. Showing wingers and strikers on weaker foot could enable them to cut inside and cause even more problems. The only opposition instructions i trust are those of tackling hard on players with low bravery, closing down defenders with low composure, and closing down keepers with poosr composure and kicking. I dont bother implementing these into my game though because i'm too lazy and cant be bothered going through the oppositions team to find the players with low bravery or composure stats.

Tom Petty Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Great tactic! Been using the control tactic almost every game. Have played 9 matches so far. 8 wins and lost one game. With this tactic I create ALOT of chances. Defoe in this 9 games has 11 goals and Pavlyuchenko 7. I'm surprised and impressed that I suddenly does all these goals, hehe. My first match with this tactic - http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/kvicker/sexytacticfirstmatch.jpg Cheers for a great tactic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodheart Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Just tried your tactic with Rangers for one game. Was drwaing 5-5 with Spartak Moscow in the uefa Cup on aggregate. Second leg away from home we win 4-0. Thumbs up for that game Second game, at home to hibernian in the League; Rangers 3-0 Hibernian. Third Game, away to Celtic in the League; Celtic 1-3 Rangers Tactic is proving itself to be good so far. Nice job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hough Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 i love this tactic been using it for ages with my boro team currently on course to finish in top 3 at least i'm in the 3rd season to. but i started a new game as barca wanting to know if it would be good with a top top team, i got through the friendleys and a few games kicking arse in the league but i had to go out so i put it on holiday mode when i came back to the game i'd only lost one game in the league and drawn 5 others out of 46 games i've played overall i've scored 109 (2.4) goals and conceded 17 (0.4) a game i bought diarra as dmc but thats they only player i bought oh i forgot aswell i noticed that i had no assistant manager at all and the only training staff i had was fitness coaches so i was playing all them games with all heavy training , i've obviusly sorted that out now but it's a brilliant tactic i recomed this to anyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey99x Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 have to give credit to you Pointon...this is a solid tactic. Plenty goals and tight defense, with goals shared around my team. I have 3 teams in my current save game....my Liverpool and Fiorentina teams I use another tactic which is working well for them....but for my career based manager (currently at QPR) i struggled with that tactic. I switched to "sexy football" and it's working a treat both home and away! currently on course for automatic promotion to PL...having been struggling to get into playoffs previously! cheers mate....KUTGW sexy football ftw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdixon Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Fully agree with the majority, this tactic is solid.. Used it on my QPR game and finished 2nd behind Wolves who got over 100 pts. Bravo Sir, bravo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunwwfc Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I like this tactic but i want more information on who to play where. The midfield, defensive one - are we looking for a tough tackling midfielder to break up play? Or strictly someone who can pick out a pass and tackling being irrelevant? Because tbh there isnt many natural defensive midfielders who have over 15 for passing and creativity. What about the other midfielder? Attacking? Hope these questions can be answered.

Campbell1892 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 shauny on the very first post he has stated individual attributes for each position, DMC, needs things like strength tackling passing and creativity, mc needs passing and creativity, one of the 2 are going to be your playmaker and therefore will also benefit from off the ball (finding space) compusure and flair. Im currently in my 2nd season with this tactic with marine, i ran away with the BSN in the first, stuggling for consistency in the BSP but thats because i brought in a whole new team who need to gell despite that im still mid table close to play offs which is a good example of the strength of this tacitc.

lucanaso Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Anyone any advice on preventing last minute goals against my team. I am playing the control tactic but still teams seem to score late on against me.I have checked obvious things like players energy levels and they still all seem to be ok e.g 75 % and upwards. I have taken off timewasting though as I am morally oppossed to this tactic !!! do you think if I put it back on it helps. Anytime I have played with high timewasting all it seems to do is result in 8 minutes of injury time thus giving the other team longer to equalise !! Ok. First of all, i tweaked timewasting both in home and away tactic. I set it one notch up rarely for home tactic and mixed (notch 12) for away tactic. With this settings, i managed to concede 0 (nothing) goals to opponents when switching to 4-2-4. Only tweakings i needed were these: - set (on team instructions) passing direction from mixed to both wings. - set timewasting on mixed (notch 12) for home tactic; set timewasting to first notch of often for away tactic. Usually i don't concede, sometimes i score. If so, and the opponents switchs to their normal tactic, i come back to my normal settings. Hope it helps, bye. By the way, great tactic!!!! ^_^ With two tweakings and a few buying, i won all trophies (FA, LEague Cup, EPL adn Euro Cup) with Man City. Now trying it with LLT, and started well with the worst team of 2nd division Switzerland, currently 7th 0_0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept Taylor right through till i got to the Prem, then i sold him, Eardley i sold if i remember in the 2nd or 3rd season as my chairman accepted the bid he went to MK Dons if i remember correctly, Allesandra stayed with me until championship scored a few goals for me as well, and Lomax i got rid of fairly early. I didn't create these tactics until my 2nd season in the championship and it took me 3 or 4 seasons to get there as i was struggling with tactics i created and ones i downloaded until i developed this.

I'm the type of person who'd only post a tactic if i have confidence in it, and i knew this was a good tactic, as like many on here i'd downloaded pretty much all the others, and wasn't having much success with them, i created this with an average team and was instantly blown away by the results, but there is always part of you that wonder if it would just be successful in my game or if others would enjoy the same success, but it's good to know that others have found it just as successful.

Remember this is relative to the league your in, if your a Premiership side with a few bob, i dont hink it's overly hard finding a DMC with good tackling, passing and creativity, i.e above 15. If your managing in league 2 for example if you had a player with around 10 or 12 in the attributes mentioned he would be good enough for the league your in. If you have no midfielders with good creativity, passing and off the ball then i wouldn't recommend you to use the play maker option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty_8 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Mate, I think Im in love with you. Im Everton, 23 games unbeaten and playing some superb football. Im just using the control tactic home and away, and sometimes changing if Im really looking for a goal. Heres my league at the moment: And the results: Have beaten Man U and Arsenal at home, and an amazing 5-2 win at Stamford Bridge. Leandro Augusto in dm role has been superb, and Yakubu and Ishmael Miller are brilliant up top. You have really found a way to execute that guys pace! My fullbacks, and Phil Jagielka have been superb also. Is there a set tactic for corners? Because he wins every single corner and has scored a few already.

MilanBoy Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have used this tactic for 1/2 a season and thought it was brilliant, but I have started to get some inconsistant results against teams I would have beat easily in the first few weeks of the season. I use the control tactic for my Milan team as they best suit this style of play. Just before christmas I had only let in 3 goals, and since jan the team has now conceed 13 and im only mid way through feb. I was leading by 6 points over Juventus I now find myself 1 point behind. The positive thing is I have a 12 point advantage over 3rd spot, but i don't want to find myself anymore points behind the Lead so the season was looking positive. now I think its on the downslide. Any tips on what to do, or has anyone had this problem. Starting line up all season has been.

Try switching to the home tactic when you are at home and when your favourites away, i've used the home tactic for my last 3 seasons with Roma both home and away apart from when i play away against the other big teams and i've won every competition for the last 3 seasons apart from the euro super cup this season i lost on pens to Liverpool. Control tactic is abit less attacking and more patient, but due to your results the opposition is now sitting back against you and defending deep, causing your team to struggle to break them down.

I dont seem to get the consistancy with the attacking tactic as i do with the controlled tactic. But i will try to use it to see if it makes a difference. No not at all, the home tactic is fantastic when you have top players, i used it with Oldham in the championship at home and got good results, but i never got to use it in the prem as my team wasn't strong enough, when i took the Roma job i used it at home if i was favourites and the control away, but a few seasons on now my squad is superior to the opposition in every department i use it home and away and have great success, like i said previously i only use the control away against other top teams. One thing you might want to note though is weather conditions, the home tactic is suited to all conditions, as it's direct, the control however is set to short passing so it isn't really suitable for rainy weather.

The only dissapointing result was Siena, i thought they would be an easy game, so i gave my first teamers a rest and sent out my kids, all with decent potential but all around 17 and 18 years old, in the end i just couldn't break them down.

Zigi Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I must say that your tactic is great, simply but very effective.

swash Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Pointon, what are you doing with team talks at the moment? I usually leave mine to the assistant, but he seems fixated on "you can win this" and Wolfsong who wrote about the only guide I've ever seen about teamtalks seems to think that "you can win this" is the wrong way to go on the most recent patch. The tactic itself has been working fantastically well on my Dover save. We got promoted from the Blue Square Premier only losing 2 league games (a lot of draws mind you) and we got to the 6th round of the FA Cup knocking out West Ham and West Brom along the way. Although we've started Ok in League 2 and I feel I've got a decent squad, our performances are a bit flat, hence my concern about the team talks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i'm winning at half time against a team i'm expected to beat i say "dont let your performance drop", if i'm winning at half time against a good team then i'll say "encourage" or "pleased" if more than one goal up. if i'm losing i say "dissapointed".

Went unbeaten for 34 games as soon as I started using control, started to slip at the end of my first season mainly i think due to fatigue as i had a small swuad and 1 day between some games. Still not looking as strong in my 2nd season maybe made some bad singings still looking good but not as strong. Maybe teams get used to playing against the tactic? only major change iv made is my centre mid who is still a very good player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been so successful in the last few seasons, when any team plays me they just stack men behind the ball and play for the draw, however i'm still winning but usually around 1-0 or 2-0 with the opposition not even having attempts on goal, i just lost my first game of the season 1-0 at home they got a pen in first 5 mins then just defended for their lives rest of the game, and i had a few chances but i just couldn't break them down, however i dont suffer from this is against the top teams as they attack me, so i can get behind them. Its not a big problem for me i'll still win the league etc, just a pain in the backside, if the same thing happens again in a game i'll try a few tweaks to counter it and if successful i'll post the tactic as i'll still be using the same framework so it wont be much different.

Taunton Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 what tactic are you using away, where are you in the league and roughly how good do you think your squad is, i.e you think it's good enough to win the league etc. First of all I have to say a big thank you for these tactics and that I may be a bit spoiled when it comes to how much I demand from them. I am in my fourth season with Newcastle. I have finished 10-10-5. And it was the last season I started to use sexy football. I think my squad is good, but not good enough yet to win the league. I am at fourth place now (february), and I think that is realistic. What I struggle with is a bad away form. I have experienced that in games I start with the away tactic, I let in a lot of goals, (Ishmael Miller always scores a lot against me for some reason)I then switch to the home tactic and manage to get some goals back. The same happen when I start with the home tactic in games I am favorite away, then I have to change to the away tactic to try to fix the mess. Also my defence get very poor rating, last game at WBA, my centreback got 4.5 and my left back got 4.6 and they are good players. Geromel and Kolodzieczak. I suspect it can be because of me making poor decisions, bad teamtalks etc, but I am a bit confused at the moment. Lost the league cup semi final away to Man C, after winning my home game. I hope to turn things around, and maybe be a bit more faithful to the away tactic, I think I may have over estimated my team a bit. But every suggestion would be helpful. Here is my recent fixtures and my squad. Fixtures Squad And Pointon, thanks for your advice and that you always are helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeeman27bob Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Does it make a huge amount of difference if I move the DMC into a MC position? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointon27 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Does it make a huge amount of difference if I move the DMC into a MC position? It started of as a flat 4-4-2, results were good but i felt the defence needed a bit extra help, so i went to a 4-4-2 diamond which solved the problem, but the AMC had really poor ratings so i dropped him back to MC position. So in answer to your question, you should still do well, but you may find your defence wont be as tight with not having a DMC in the formation.
