For some reason this tactic seems to work miracles for my low to mid-table team (Hull, just promoted to Premier League) when playing top teams - e.g. I just beat Man U 2-1 and we outplayed them most of the match. But then I go into matches with teams we should beat and results tend to be average...
Interestingly, with my Hull City team that has a goal of avoiding relegation in the Premier League, we are doing better with big teams than lesser teams with this tactic so far. We beat Chelsea and Arsenal - both of whom were huge favorites - yet we struggle with teams that are of lesser...
I just use the original. I've tried the tweaked one - like all of us, we're always looking for the next best tactic. But the original seems to work well. As I noted above, I also have the team become fluid in the modified Modern Warfare 2 (King Jassar V2) because at times it seems the AI adjusts...
What is the option with Wingers? Do you have a link to that one? What does the winger option do better in Jassars?
Back to the tactic in this thread, it does seem like the AI starts to figure out the tactic and make adjustments that make it more challenging. Just as I assume real life teams...
Well, this will be interesting. I started unemployed, was hired by Swindon in League 1, goal was just mid-table, used this tactic with a zero transfer budget, won the league. Second season, goal was avoid relegation, and we ended up almost getting promoted to the Premier League (which I didn't...
FWIW, I've had great success with Arrigo Sacchi's 442 - took Swindon in League 1 from low-middle league to winning with the tactic. That with a zero transfer budget and low salary cap. We then went into our first season in the League Championship with a goal of avoiding relegation and were in...
I'm afraid that the tactic is good enough we may be challenging for promotion to the Premier League! We just made the Championship after my first season coaching Swindon in League 1, where we surprised everyone by winning the league, thanks to this tactic (I had 0 transfer budget that season!)...
OK, tried a few tactics, wanted to build my own but wanted to first find a nice starting tactic and play a while to re-learn the game (skipped FM12.)
I always start unemployed and play it a bit as a role-playing game. Swindon picked me up, they were mid league at best, no transfer budget so...
