FMH 2012 'Help me please!!!'

[riderofrohan]

Hi guys

I've had 2012 on the PSP for a month or so now. I decided i would use Man U so I can get to grips with the game before I set myself a real challenge. The thing is, under my control Man U are performing like a conference team, seriously, Alex Mcleash would be proud of me, that's how bad its got.

The trend at the moment is; I win the community sheild against man city every time, then I lose/draw most games. My goal scoring is minimal, but luckily my goal conceding is quiet low. Once I get to late October/mid November I'm lingering in 10th and get sacked.

What brought me a surprising amount of success back in the CM days was a diamond-mid 442, concentrating on the wings, but, mentality on ultra defensive, set on counter attacking, in an average season I would score around 120 goals and conceed no more than 10 (if anyone still plays the older versions, I recommend it, you won't lose a single game).

Alas, this tactic doesn't work on 2012.

So, i've experimented with 442 (flat and diamond) and also with 451 (2 AM, ML, MR, DFM), I've use different variations of holders, runners, through ballers, free roams, but nothing I do seems to change the general way my team performs.

As the training is extremely generic on this version I have everyone set on 'general'. I did try putting all the 'attack-minded' and 'defense-minded' players into their respective programmes but it seemed to have a detrimental effect.

Does anyone have any ideas for a good set up in terms of formation and instructions to make my team play a bit like the way Man U Should do? It would be greatly appriciated.


Oh, and does anyone know why welbeck and Michael Owen aren't in the game?


Cheers

Well I can't help with tactics because I'm awful at FMH but I THINK the reason the players aren't there is because databases are tiny on FMH and if you load lots of leagues then teams get a few of their players taken away for some reason.

I found some tips by 'reds are ace' in another thread, and now I've gone half a season undefeated, won all but 2 draws.Man united - signed bellamy and Lennon (no Owen or welbeck? **** knows where they are)Formation - 4132 (the bottom of the list of preset formations, not edited at all)Mentality - balancedPassing - directPressing - yesNo for everything elseIndividualAll MC's and Wing backs forwards runs - yesyes to Run with ball for left and right MC, not centreYes to hold up ball for all defenders and centre MCYes to long shots for left and right MC, not centreYes to through balls only for centre MCYes to cross ball for left/right MC not centreZonal marking for all players except both FC's, centre MC ang GK (of of which select 'none')Everything and everyone else is on presetFor set pieces, Ashley young and nani take everything from the left, giggs and bellamy take everything from the right.As I said, I've used this from the start of the game with man U, and just after Christmas I've drawn 2 and won the rest, and I haven't changed these settings once.I was one more sacking away from never playing it again.

Play 442 attacking and select less leauges and then they will be there
