Very inconsistent, this tactic for me. At Blackburn, Id beat some, lose to others, and always concede at least 2 goals. Lost to West Brom 3v2 in the cup Semi's too.
Just booted up a new game with Juve, and the pre-set 4-3-1-2 my Assistant was playing was killing opponents, but as AC Milan came up, I decided to take charge with this tactic, and it ended 2v0 to me.
The week after against Inter, 2v0 loss. And the worst thing is that Juve didnt ask me to change the Pitch Dimensions.
I appreciate as you, although basically this tactic dont work, but doesn't ask whats up.
That way I don't have to bother to help out yes?
Sorry mate but this probably not the tactic for you.
As for me if the pre-meeting don give any advice on pitchs etc etc i would predict myself.
Once u get use with this tactics u know when u should play Fast tempo when to play narrow etc etc. furthermore, its a new tactics to your team so give it sometime to gel up. trust me. i been using it for my liverpool saves for 4 seasons now. and its owning. started a new game with leeds atm..
Btw.. koflok. i have something to ask for this tactics. im using leeds now but i do pretty awesome with normal teams or smaller but when it comes to bigger team i would lost like 3-1. i will post a match stats up later on. hope u could help out. but i think is my players they suck so badly lol. my best player is only Kikin!
That's the dificulty of playing with smaller teams: playing the big boys
Well you can try to play counter and less width. It operates more defensively. Also make the fullback as defend instead of attack/support.
These are my statistics before the winter break: 9W 5D 4L, I scored 39 goals and conceded 29!!! 29 freakin' goals! (that considering the fact that I had the best defense last season)
I have almost the same squad as last year (so they are well blending together), I have set the pitch size to maximum, I am good with team talks, the team's morale is very good so I seriously don't understand what the problem is.
The opponent ALWAYS scores with through balls, I don't think there is a match where that didn't happen.
Have you tried using the offside trap?
I am starting to believe that this tactic is only for big teams.
PS. And as I said before, screens with Liverpool winning the Premier League are pointless. Any 10 year old with a random tactic can do that, to say that a tactic is good you need to test it with small teams
Well i wouldnt say random tactic would work. Have you not seen the 'help tactic for man city' etc kind of threads around? lol
Well you can say that this tactic doesn't work for small teams its up to you but I've been doing really well with my Bishops. If you don't know they are a team in Blue Square South and now I'm sitting at Coca Cola League 2. I think it's more into the difficulty of the game. It forces user to tweak it around according to the difference conditions, opponents, pitch, etc.
One problem using smaller team is that the player itself sometimes cant perform like a normal player do. It is good for testing tactic, true, but there's a random factor when they play like **** in the pitch despite the tactic tell them otherwise.
Tactic-wise for the through balls, to be honest that is one weakness I can't cope that much. I know smaller width will do good but it will distract the offense. Now as I said this is an attacking tactic, focusing on scoring. So dont expect clean sheets everytime.
I conceded 0.5/goals per game in my Leeds save but that is because I'm the creator therefore I tweak it in every conditions. Now I'm not gonna tell everything as it is almost impossible to be told and why would you want to play a game where the whole point is experimenting by just doing what other people tell you to do right?
What you said is probably might be effective when you got good defense with decent pace and teamwork. Push up d line + offside trap. You can try it if you want to
Other than that, you do score a lot as promised right?
