I to use the TC creator which I think is really underestimated in developing tactics. I mentioned on SI that maybe in future, a toggle could be added prior to the game were you could alter the goal conversion rate to something a little more acceptable on a game. Obviously defending would be a...

Thanks TBH. I think what is strange is, having started my second season again, I came back to a game I originally won 6-0 away at Stoke. Yeah, a phenomenal result, but the irony is, this time around I had more chances, and scraped a 1-0 win. Is really hurts when you've carved out repetitive...

I've posted this on SI, but wished to pout this to you guys. Missing good quality chances will always be inflammatory, maybe because there doesn't seem to be a feasible solution. The way I play is to create numerous good quality chances, and I have tried many different tactical connotations...

What I will add is, if you're playing away from home, try dropping one of the CMs into DM, still set to DLPM.

If you play with 2 strikers, you're best playing 4-4-2 or 3-5-2. Try to work from the default settings, but making sure too many of your players are taking space away from each other, so play with some width. And even if you play deep to close space down defensively, you can still instruct...

I've posted this elsewhere, but I hope it will help here too. When I try to envisage how to create chances, I came to understand it's all about space - defending it, and in your case, attacking it. If you have too many players in a small area, you make them easier for your players to be...

I think they have definitely made it more difficult to transfer players on 12 than it was on FM11. Whether this is more realistic I dunno, but it maybe said that some clubs do have real problems selling players on long contracts and/or high wages. I do like the option if you manage to sell a...

How do you mean, Jak?

So I got to November in my 2nd season, and even by moving time along a couple of days, my save was still a dud. I even moved my save game files, removed FM12, reinstalled, and although I could load the same file, I still couldn't save. Unfortunately I didn't have auto-save set because I...

Thanks TBH. For some masochistic reason, I do watch full games more often than not (unless I am not creating much and especially if I am loosing). I've always believed leaving the highlights to their own devices maybe too much of a gamble, and it doesn't give you the time to see problems and...

Having played FM11, I rarely noticed if Shouts ever benefited the way I play. So, for this reason, I have rarely used them on FM12 too. Are there huge benefits in trying them, and because I enjoy predominately playing a CA system, which Shout would encourage more through balls (I already have...

Interestingly, I had a problem with my FM12 save last night, and had to reinstall, so I played my FM11 save for about an hour. I managed to sell 3 players on high salaries in that time, so SI have definitely made the market more rigid on 12. What I have been doing is I've tried to be patient up...

I do play with CA ticked now and again, and I would probably do it more often if I notice a great difference. Although sometimes, if I am winning comfortably, I may tick CA to see if I can grab some bonus goals. With my poor memory problems though, it doesn't help that I forget how often this...

This is great advice! Can I ask, I noticed after the latest hotfix that moral and team talks have become pretty vital. However, prior to a match vs a low rep team, why doesn't their low moral seem to affect how well they play? When I have experienced my team suffering with confidence, they do...

Hi louiscfc, I changed my tactics in FM11 to combat the shots to goals ratio issue, and it does seem counter attack is the best option, even for the AI, and I have found this more so on FM12. This is maybe why lessers teams do quite well against teams with higher reps. I'd look to approach a...
