Here's why Gegenpress is OP
Andrew Marines replied to stopazricky's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I really hope with Unity we'll have the possibility to use mods and create tools to effectively test those things but i really don't think it'll be the case. in the meanwhile, don't know how you would ask SI for help on those things. Are you just gonna open a thread here or write a Direct message to the staff or ...? -
Here's why Gegenpress is OP
Andrew Marines replied to stopazricky's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
That's why he's trying to always use the same ones. I haven't watched the video yet(but i watched all others). he probably used a control tactic with default pressing or something common and watched how physical factors change, using different tactical istruction. Is it perfect? Absolutely not, the match engine is not something linear. Nobody expects that tho. He doesn't have a way to get more data or see the code behind(obv). other factors will change a bit the result but, cause he's always using the same ones and doing a lot of tests, we can round and understand if what we're getting is caused by the test being "corrupted" or cause in fact it is what we're trying to explain. The setup used is probably the best one and the quantity of tests reduces a lot the chance of rng playing a big factor. Repeating myself, is it perfect? nop. Is it good enough? Probably.- 88 replies

Here's why Gegenpress is OP
Andrew Marines replied to stopazricky's topic in Football Manager General Discussion
I agree with everything you said about other tactical styles. You can play literally anything. If you're not that bad you'll make it work. This is really wrong tho. When you wanna test something on science field you gotta isolate everthing that could change the final result. The final result is obv the sum of a lot of factors(really simplified and not that correct Superposition principle. Obv it's not that easy to explain and there could be inaccuracies to what i'm saying but please just try to understand). If you wanna understand how a single factor works you gotta "shut off" all the others. Obviously the other factors still exist and will change how the game simulates but still that does not mean the test itself is wrong. It's the best you can do without having more advanced ways to "talk" to the game. If you tried with all the realistic parameters you wouldn't know what you're actually finding out. Is the player not tiring out cause of the game or because the morale, the training, his attributes are helping? You gotta start at the basics and then understand if there's something you can do to help achieve what you're trying to achieve -
I've been playing online for 2 years now. Not playing offline anymore. Studying the opponent before and making the right adjustments make those tactics quite normal

Only if you're against the AI tho. An experienced human player could handle it

Don't wanna tell you're not right(cause you are at a certain degree) but I disagree. You can practice IRL football all your life, become a manager, train low level teams, become better with the passing time but with an higher level of teams, there are always new things to learn, mistakes done, etc... The other managers adapt, learn the same as you. They can **** up one season, learn and the next one get their designed goal. In FM, this things exist only when you're first playing the game cause you're the one not doing the basic things necessary. you are level 0, the ai is at level 7. You start to learn, grind those levels and start doing better things. You are now level 15. And the ai? Well, the AI is at level 7 and will always be. That's the main problem. And I get the devs, making an AI learn is a really really difficult thing to do. I get those complaints, i'm the first one to be bored in a long term save. Everything feels always the same but you're smarter so you buy better wonderkids than the ai, craft better tactics, etc... That's why we invented challenges. Not to improve the ai but to make us re-learn the game again. It shouldn't be like learning to play the guitar but right now(and probably for a lot of time) will be

Francesco Camarda

Legally, he couldn't play in the Serie A. A player gotta be at least 16. Milan asked for a waiver cause they hadn't enough players in that role -
Players who can dribble don't

You gotta share stats, examples, etc... -
Has someone already found late bloomers(players who developed late) in your saves? It was advertised in the patch notes but didn't notice anything about it

There isn't much really. An year ago, i created a script for heatmaps but idk if that's what you need. Unfortunately there's no way to Ctrl+p the data analysis of a match. You could manually create a macro(image to text) the get all the data you want but still, you couldn't save the data you need directly from the field

It's a multiplayer save with your friends. you shouldn't be needing a set of rules in the first place. i'd ask them to create a little description of their tactics, and explain it. You could even set up interviews. they gotta create a tactic by scratch and know how it works and y'all have fun together. Seems Like a win-win. if you still wanna apply rules, do not use assymetrical tactics and set at least one midfielder's duty on defend. or do something challenging, in every tactic you gotta use at least one-two exotic roles(enganche, Trequartista, Libero, ecc...)

It's not the crossing itself, it's the crossing by the byline. Cross from early is a good strategy event in IRL football cause the defense is moving backwards. I do this too but watchout, the player on the flank gotta have a passing option close

The moment you select "Use this tactic" your assman can't change anything. The only thing he can change are the players on the field. If you do that test a lot of times you can see if your tactic performs as you except. However, If you wanna have a good dataset, you gotta create two teams with literally the same attributes and make them match against each other in a neutral field. One of the teams will have the tactic you wanna test and the other another one you wanna see if it is effective against. Repeat that match Like 10 times and then change the opposition's tactic. you'll see how your tactic performs against different styles

The FM23 Youth Academy Challenge
Andrew Marines replied to darren1983's topic in Challenges, Sign-Ups & Experiments
Let's start this adventure in the Czech Second Division! The fate decided to promote two teams: Sokolov and Vitkovice I decided to take over Vitkovice. Not much history here to talk about except a partecipation to the UEFA cup in the 1987 but the logo is really cute The squad is quite young but not that strong. I think we'll need 2 to 4 years just to get out of mediocrity Well, the staff is quite incredible... Things to do this season: Do a coaching course Get some staff, at least for training Do not relegate I'll see you at the end of the season! -
The FM22 Youth Academy Challenge
Andrew Marines replied to darren1983's topic in Challenges, Sign-Ups & Experiments
Do we have a thread for the FM23 challenge? I lost my save on FM22 and i'd like to start over on FM23 -
I'd change those things in possession: Fairly narrow->wide Lower tempo to at least standard Underlap left-right. Add shot more to the CM or remove work ball into the box I'd add to the wingbacks cross less often and change rodri's role to something more offensive. Your team will try to go through the wingbacks, stretching the defense. This will lead to space for your AM-LR to exploit. If that space is not found, the WB will try to recycle possesion through the CM
