Hi guys I'm having a lot of trouble with the new FM13 setup. Everything seems to go wrong and I think I'm doing something wrong somewhere. I've been playing for 13 years and I was going to wait till I have my faster computer to play properly but it's still being built and I recently broke my index finger which renders me useless aside from things like FM so I thought I'd give it a right old go. Here's my beef with it so far after my umpteenth restart with Arsenal:
Formation:
I know the points total sounds good but look closer and you'll see why this season is not fun nor is it even making any sense or having any kind of consistency. I've had to make my own after I tried the Awesome Tactic and didn't like it. I scored most of my goals with my tactic after I start matches with Awesome but we never score. But when I change it the way the team plays changes entirely and it all looks like Stoke City tactics with Arsenal! They play okay but all my goals are lucky tap ins from crosses or LOTS of own goals. Had about 6 I think this season but I know from my previous saves thee is a lot of issues with own goals. I have the newest version of FM13 and yeah basically still failing at getting a general tactic to get my teams going. I don't get how training or pre-match preparation works really nor am I very good at knowing what I am doing with tactics all that much. Like I find that certain types don't work well together in the top teams such as DLF (s) + T (a) because they always get in each others way! So you have to do an Advanced Forward, Poacher or Target Men who never take part in plays and only ever get in lame positions. I'm beginning to hate this game!
Here is my squad and there stats... don't be fooled by Girous he's only scored 3 goals in 14 BPL games. Most of his goals came in the cups and UCL against weaker opponent. I tried to make it realistic so I changed most of the Potential of the promising youth in Arsenal (such as Jenkinson who is -9, Yennaris -8, etc). Some might consider that cheating but I prefer to make it realistic. Their stats are untouched and I never used fixed PA and players like George Puscas who is on trial with Arsenal but not in the official game. Anyway without blabbing on more here is my squad:
The wrong players are assisting and the wrong guys are scoring. People keep crossing but when I take it off I don't score at all! I usually score really quickly too (like one goal after another). I would love if someone can help me create my tactics and understand the connection between the sliders. I could never find a proper explanation on how they work but I find Classic Tactics aren't working because I want to be able to use the shouts to make it more realistic instead of a "set and forget" tactic. Any help would be really appreciated 'specially at a time like this when all I want to play is FM and it takes 2 hours to play 1 month on this slow machine 36 days till my new PC arrives and I get to run all my leagues and even get to finally use my old method of making tactics which was make 5-10 with different teams on holiday mode before using it myself . It's the old school, and time consuming method, but the only one that's helped me get through this many years without understanding the tactics entirely 100%.
