Im very curious about one thing; How come U have restricted the players through balls so much, when all it could do is encourage to make more opening passes, cut the defense passes. This tactic is great, I tested it couple games. U gotta put through balls to often to most of ur players, especially Xavi role. I feel U wud get way more from this tactic. Then I think some of ur players have too much creative freedom and some are too attacking or defensive in terms of mentality, e.g. if U put that dropping CB's mentality to normal, he wud play more passes upwards, which aids ur game in terms of controlling it in their half. No-one shud have defensive mentality in barca tactic in my opinion. :P

These just crossed my mind, U can give em a shot.

Thx mate for trying this tactic, really appreciate your comments. First of all the reason why i restricted the through ball in xavi role is because xavi has try killers ball often ppm and so thats why i have xavi role's creative freedom a bit much. And also i agree with ur comments, now im working to tweak some aspects of this tactic to make it better ^^)

Also forgot to mention, as U play wide, I'd focus passing to middle as there's no need to play mixed as they will nonetheless pass wide, but they will try to break through from middle and that is what Barca mainly does, with the flank inside forwards cut inside the box. Thats probably the reason why I also encountered lots of crosses, which barca mostly tires to avoid. Also Xavi role as Target man could work, remember to click the Use Target man thingie as U had Xavi in target man section.. Also Dani Alves RFD often, thats what I wud do.

Maybe these will help, maybe not :P
 
And rofl, I edited this a bit and got this kinda of result, if U ask me, its CRAZYY tho I lacked finishing, but still Sanchez's goal was a great low cross inside the box and boom! :D

Great results there mate, especially with the passing. Very unfortunate with the finishing :(.

When you think to finishing hthe tactic ?
 
I have finished my v2 of this tactic and i think its better than the previous one. have tried it with athletic bilbao in the last half of my season and having great success. Will updated my athletic bilbao journey on page 4.

Currently trying this tactic with liverpool. 14 games winning streak in the league, but only won by 1 or 2 :'(, i havent encounter this problem in my last campaign in spain with barcelona and athletic bilbao. although i got plenty of CCCs every match, i think my players lack of finishing. But they play very sexy football ^^)

Some videos evidence

this gerrard's goal actually build from 38 passes but because of the video could only saved 60 seconds video, so i could only record from the last 18 passes :(

Yeah the one on the first page seems to be version one. Looking forward to getting my hands on V2.

yes sorry, let me finished my half season with liverpool first because i think i need to make some minor changes again with this tactic, the base of this tactic is done but i havent fully convinced yet, i believe there is still more room for improvement sorry for the delay
 
Looks good those vid's, did U tried something I suggested btw? :P
 
8 CCC's and only 2 goals? Unlucky, your players must have been misfiring that game. At least you won!

Can't wait for this to be released. Got a good squad with Liverpool in my second season for it. Looking to add Neymar (perfect for the STL position?) & Ganso (perfect for the AMCL position?), but can't afford them at the moment, will probably wait till the 3rd season for one of them, then get the next one in the 4th season.
 
Been updated the OP, gave more in depth explanation about Guardiola's tactic and why I implemented it within this tactic. A nd also i have added link for the v.2 ^^) cheers hope you like it and enjoy it.

Looking forward for more feedbacks, any feedbacks would be much more appreciated.
