1st season on aston villa, I managed 6th

2nd season 2nd, yet I haven't really had to do much once I found a decent 4-4-2 tactic on here.

Seems unrealistic too soon
 
It's easy because you found a good tactic on here...
 
I was thinking that, I doubt you could make someone elses tactic perfectly fit your team because of the player role overhaul.
 
Interestingly I'm playing a Villa save right now (full game). I'm currently in 11th, 25 games with 31 points.

The game seems, to me anyway, at a par with other levels if not slightly harder. I've designed my tactic myself, which IMO is where the fun in the game lies (with transfers of course!)
 
I'm only using a 442 tactic anyway, just made it attacking and very fluid
 
I've resorted to hootball tactics at this moment in time =P.
 
I'm in nearing the end of my third season and I have actually had to change my tactic every season so far,since the AI has learned how to counter the ones I had success with.
 
I'm wondering wich tactic you used then...

If you would be so kind to share it?
 
To easy? no...my team can't finish att all(I'm Schalke)

tactic should work since play good football, and create many good chances each mach. But Huntelaar and everyone else finishes is closer the corner flag than the goal from 5-10meter from the goal...Happend game after game after game, im almost given up..


My last Schalke match(after I decided f**ck this....): 20shots, 14 on target, 0goals
the new Schalke manager first match: 7shots, 3 on target, 2goals

And ofc if that is in 1-2-3++...matches thats OK, but in 10-15-20 matches each season?....

Huntelaar cant score for me either, Draxler on the other hand is a beast!
 
rofl too easy? for the life of me my team can't find consistency to save their lives. I'm playing with Chelsea, some of the best attacking players in europe and it's incredibly hard to score goals. often I have over 60% possession and tons of shots on target from close in but the opp keeper saves everything ( even tough he's **** according to my scouts n stats) and when they have 1 chance they score. The match engine is the worst thing I've even seen on a football simulation, and I've played fifa manager for a bit last year. SI really dropped the ball on this one. terrible game, regretting buying it atm.

your main problem is using somebody else's tactic. the central idea behind football manager is building a tactic from scratch and enduring all the pain and joy that goes with it. If you take that out what's the point of the game? Neway good luck to u.

I think it's a lot easier than FM13, but not quite as easy as FM12. I'm currently Chelsea, not signed anyone, created my own 4-2-3-1 tactic and haven't lost in the first 10 games, played 10, won 9 drew 1

Like i said, i've not signed anyone (ya really don't need to with Chelsea), i've got rid of players i'm personally not keen on (Mikel, Ba and Hilario, brought me in just over ?20mil) and completely overhauled the backroom staff as that's the only thing letting Chelsea down.

Ya just need to fiddle with your tactics, i play a fluid attacking game, play wide with high tempo, Schurrle is an absolute beast!
 
yeah for me van persie has 18 goals in 8 appearances, this year for me is extremely easy.
I'm using a 4-2-3-1 formation aswell. kagawa and van persie are just having fun

I haven't made it to Christmas yet without being sacked and I've been playing this game since 01/02. This is way harder than even last year (hard in the Beta but then got fixed).

At least in the Beta, my forwards could actually finish their chances.
Lewandowski can't even shoot inside the six yard box without the keeper pulling off a David Seaman.

mate maybe why you've found it easy was because the game probably has one way it wants you to play and you've found it at the first go. If my tactics were at fault my team wouldn't be creating 4-5 clear cut chances and 5-6 half chances every game and still score only one goal, two if I'm lucky. Yet the opposition fullback brings the ball from the halfway line takes on two defenders, beats them and scores against Cech when my strikers can't finish from 4 yards. If this happened once in a while I wouldn't have an issue. But this happens 8 times out of 10. I create loads of chances, have a ton of possession but can't score and the opposition score with their only half chance. It is so **** annoying. Strikers are useless in this game. SI better get their **** together quick.

I know right! Every ****** keeper I come across has superhuman reflexes, except of course my own. None of the strikers can finish chances.. it's like all the strikers are amateurs and every keeper a gianluigi buffon.
