THANKS to bomber 1 who is a friend that worked on SUNSHINE with me .
Here are some of the notes from him on HOW TO PLAY sunshine
How to play SUNSHINE:
Before start the match check the odds (use the "Importance of media prediction" section to calculate) then you have to adjust the tac on them like this:
From 10% to 26% -- set Fluidity to VERY RIGID
From 26% to 42% -- set Fluidity to RIGID
From 42% to 58% -- set Fluidity to BALANCED
From 58% to 74% -- set Fluidity to FLUID
From 74% to 90% -- set Fluidity to VERY FLUID
Match Training is related:
Very Rigid and Rigid -- set DEF.POSITIONING
Balanced -- set ATT.SET PIECES (home) or DEF.SET PIECES (away)
Very Fluid and Fluid -- set ATT.MOVEMENT
Now let's move to match day:
ALWAYS set your Trequartista to MAN MARK opposite DCR (always the DCR even in a 3-way defense) you can do this from 'Player instruction' section of 'Tactics' Menu.
ALWAYS set opposite wide players (FBs,WMs,Ws) to come infield: RIGHT players onto LEFT foot; LEFT players onto RIGHT foot. (
ROLE INSTRUCTION)
you can set Striker(s) onto Weaker Foot.
you can set OPP.INSTRUCTION (i do and i'm getting really nice results) like this
PLAYER INSTRUCTION)
-Fast pacey players ( tight mark: Never ) in this way the defender will stay back avoiding to be burned in acceleration
-Slow strong players ( tight mark: Always ) defenders will stay close to him hoping to not let him reach the ball so easy
-Average players ( no specific instruction )
-Players with high passing skills (passing, creativity, first touch) (close down: Always) defenders will hassle him without conceding time to think
-Players with poor passing skills (close down: Never) leave him the space to play he is not a danger, better maintain an ordinate shape and keep the pressing for someone else
-Average players (no specific instruction)
-Players with high dribbling skills (tackle: Easy) is like "ease off tackles" he is able to dribble my defenders so i want my players stay on feet to recover
-Players with average dribbling skills (tackle: Normal)
-Players with poor dribbling skills (tackle: Hard) "dives into tackle" here i want my players to take him down in case he became dangerous, he is not able to dribble my defenders
before i start a match i always set this instruction to every player (even the reserves) you have to pay attention during the match:
-if the AMR changes to MR the player instruction will remain but the role instruction wont, so pause the game and set the MR on left or right foot. if he returns to AMR the old instructions will return as well (also FB to WB )
-if you are facing a 2 strikers formation and during the game they switch to 1, set to weaker foot the STC
final notes:
- OIs are set on the current tac (the one you start the game with) so if you switch tac during the match the OIs will disappear, if you return to original tac however they'll be there
- Keep in mind the level you're playing, the standard level in championship is different from premier league or league 1
- Look at the goals you're conceding and learn from them, if taking wide man infield is not working change it and see if works
- OIs are not only a defensive tool, they also help to recover the ball earlier, my advice is to use them always
