I'll look into this, thanks for the feedback.Reducing the defenders closing down a little has made a difference for me. They arent getting in behind half as much now
First game using the tactic (updated) only halfway fluid vs Tottenham in Uefa Super Cup

I will admit, I was a little sceptical when I started with this tactic, had some bad results, lost 6-0 and 4-0, plus a few close shaves, but after time, you will get results:

Perfect time for it to all come together, against our rivals Should have been 9, but for some reason Sangoy decided to pass when he was 2 yards out with an open goal....
I have still yet to see the corners really work, but I have got the focus on attacking set pieces, so hopefully I will see a difference soon.
Is this tactic got better result than original grid system tactic?
Thats a nice result. For a short while I thought you were Tottenham as you have been them before and I was very disappointed but that is a nice result.
The whole tactic was designed to exploit the weaknesses in the system - 3 strikers means too much movement for 4 defenders to mark and even more difficult when we counter attack and there are even fewer defenders. The narrow formations have seemingly always worked for me, which is annoying because I like to play wingers. ParkThePlane and Tbear Epic and the Grid System tactics are example of how well a narrow formation can work. High pressing works like real life and hard tackling works a little bit more on the game. The high defensive line means we push them back but unfortunately can lead to them counter-attacking us if they have fast players so if you reduce closing down by a couple of notches on the defenders they might not rush out of position so quickly.
Here are the changes I made to the team instructions as well as the IS (individual settings)
I was just saying that for a ME exploit tactic, the exploits were not that prevalent...
Well i used this tactic after my team got quite familiar with it and this was the first game. Might of been a fluke but i thought it was worth posting.
You probably wanted to use the tactic, like a few others, because it's been rather successful and is posted on a number of FM community sites like FM Scout, SI Forums and some Dutch and Turkish fan sites.
My original Grid System tactic currently stand at over 18,000 downloads since the start of June. The tactic is infamous and has gained notoriety (some are saying it's the most exploitative tactic since Diablo), so it's to be expected that people want a slice of the cake and to jump on the bandwagon.

I just wanted to say, that you have made most succesfull tactic ever on this game. It works on lowest possible teams, and top teams.
Messi scored 100+ goals for me.. + i made sum low teams to top divs.. But i got to say that press tactic is pretty useless, i found scoring almost same amounts with stand-off, even as favourite. and its better at def,
I am yet to use the stand-off tactic of grid system? How does it differ from the press?
I would say as expert of that , its just stand-offs, before the tackle is must to do, and defensive system is really organised, on press, its more pressing, giving pressure to their defense and guy who has the ball, it maybe sounds better, but its not.
Have been using stand-off on barca for 3 seasons now.. using mostly youth, selling Abidal, and benching Puyol. And sold Fabregas also!
