When I do this it says "The file could not be imported". I've tried ones that come in winrar ones that come in winzip and single tactics that end in .TAC but to no avail.
Does anybody have any ideas?
 
Read the guide! You do not need to open the .tac files!
 
I have the exact same problem as vMRMOJORISINv, and I follow the above screenshots exactly. I'm attaching my own to show what happens. I'm certainly not trying to double-click on the .TAC file from outside the game. Any help most appreciated.



 
Is that a FM 2010 tactic or a FM 2009 tactic?
 
I wasn't trying to open .tac files. I was downloading tactics that come in various formats ie. compressed with winrar/winzip etc. When I go to the import screen the tactics are there but you can't import them exactly like Coien's screenshots.
Is there some sort of setting that needs checking/unchecking for these to work?

Sean, the tactics are for 2010 and most of them are from this site.
 
Yeah, the tactic I was trying said it was to get Newcastle promoted from the Championship, so it's definitely new.
 
na coien mate thats an fm 09 tactic, he got relegated and took them back up, honestly sean i dont have to do this, i save it, then i have a download list, then i open containing folder, and copy and paste it into my tactic folder, maybe its because i have a us laptop though

Ok thanks chaps got it now.....

Was completely looking at the wrong thing.
 
Hi!

When i download the file and put it in my Fotball Maanger2010>DATA>TACTICS i cant import it when i start the game. Ive done everything that the tutorial showed but still i cant import it. =/
 
Why have you put it in Data>Tactics for?.. It's just goes in Football Manager 2010>Tactics. Nothing to do with Data.. I don't know how some people can't do this.
