Excellent write-up. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Will follow your Diary of a season thread as well.

I have watched ManU's preseason games (and have a fascination with VG) and after adding players to fit and then some tinkering through my pre-season my heat map and general style of play is pretty spot on to what I see from ManU. I am 3 games into the start of my season and 3-0 with 2 clean...

Igneos79 - do you play the same way for each match changing nothing? I am curious how you approach the game

Great Write-Up ... I hope you add more as you see what happens

I have not read through this entire thread but for the first time ... I actually stopped playing an FM version until the final patch (hopefully) address the big issues. I simply got tired of putting in hrs I am supposed to be having fun with and instead find myself flabbergasted. If you dare...

FEBRUARY - TIED 1st (0) - 14W-10D-4L 52pts January was a blah blah month. We end up tied for the top spot and lost in the FA Cup. I am not sure how I feel about the FA Cup really. Eh, whats is matter. It's over. So we come to February which see's Forest play SIX league matches. A make or...

To catch up on July - January head here to read - I think its worth it to catch up ... The writing gets better I think as I progress .... Let me know your thoughts ...anything more? anything less? I would just like readers ..hahahaha....[FM 10.3] Nottingham Forest - Don't call it a comeback I...

Just to further clarify my post a little bit, since I rarely speak of my own tactical views, here is how I have come to "play" the game.... For example in my 5-3-2 (2 WB, 3 CD, DM, 2 CM, 2 ST) If I am playing a stronger team ... I will field a physically stronger CML who is better at...

I personally find FM-13 to be the most realistic version yet. I whole hardheartedly agree with Mike saying "no need to play with the sliders". From my own 3300+ gaming hours in this version alone I can finally finally finally finally say ... I get it. I understand it now. When you create a...

Best post ever

I have been looking forward to your work on this one. How are you progressing? Thank you B

Yes but when watching the game ... how can you tell? It does not seem obvious to me you know? Also is there an obvious way by observing the heat map perhaps?

What about a mid table finish? Hahaha Balanced/Standard perhaps?

One of the things (of many) I am struggling to cope with is adjusting properly to the AI as the game progresses. I find many times I can lock them down in the beginning but eventually the AI will change formation and I get stumped/outsmarted and end up conceeding late. So I ask the following...

I am going to take your advice and implement it. I have been struggling like many people but have not given up. I have read countless posts and documents etc and this one resonates for me. I like your theories. I have been using Sheffield Wednesday and will post back here tomorrow to let you...
