I'm taking a break from FM 2013. Hadn't played in a week, gave it a shot again this morning and it has already left me feeling frustrated. I have tried pretty much everything, must have done perhaps 20-25 seasons with different teams by now and had perhaps a couple of enjoyable ones. I have...
Hah, I was about to spend my morning creating a 4-4-2 in exactly the same style as yours! I think I will just give yours a try and save some time :P
I have achieved success creating 5-2-3 and 5-3-2 formations in this edition, but with other formations my results have been extremely...
By the way my career in the BSP has been going ok. I'm 8th with 4 matches left. I was predicted to come 21st. Could have done better really, but I've been using most of the season to try out different tactics and tweaks so never really achieved a fluid tactic, except for a few games at the start...
So as no mentality tweaks seemed to be working to produce a stronger home tactic, I thought I had no choice but to go very attacking when it comes to positioning. So I've tried moving my defensive midfielder up to attacking midfielder, behind the 3 strikers. Changed the roles of the CMs slightly...
Yeah mate just go with the tactic in the first post plus the 2 tweaks I mentioned:
1 - moved the more central centre back up to defensive midfield with an anchor man role
2 - change the "focus passing" option from through the middle to mixed
Yet to find a tactic that works better and is more...
That win vs Luton seems promising. I think I will toy around with the sweeper idea, I would love to get a sweeper tactic to work but have always been unsuccessful.
Yeah go ahead and post them, no problem at all! We're all trying to do the same which is to create something that works :)
I agree with your post completely, but I guess that after the first couple of weeks of FM 2013 I'm too afraid to push higher up and putting the opposition under pressure -...
Veez sounds great mate, and of course I don't mind. Looking forward to trying them out :)
A better home tactic in particular would be very exciting, and yeah I would like to know what changes you made! I have been trying to create a more effective tactic against weaker opposition as well but...
Nope always on standard. Perhaps I should take more risks sometimes but it has worked quite well so far so haven't really needed to.
The BSP will be an interesting challenge now.
I was concerned about too much pressure being put on the WBs as well, which is why I went with a narrow formation and pitch. Seems to work well enough, most of the danger created by the opposition was down the centre before I put the anchor man there - I conceded a few from shots taken just...
I went on a great run of form after the tweaks. Played 8, 6 wins and 2 draws. Both draws were at home. After a great start to the season at home and scoring loads, I started struggling at around December. Perhaps the opposition started playing more defensively. Haven't quite managed to go back...
