Hi, I don't often post on here but I don't know what the **** is happening in my game at the moment.

I go from having a fantastic season (As Shown Below) leading in first position onwards until I get this spell when I reach the start of January - Any idea whats going on? I don't know what the **** has caused it and I can't stand losing anymore as we were really comfortable for getting promotion but since this has happend we'll be lucky to reach the play offs. Many thanks.

Heh, it happens. Happened to me in a network game, was 1st with Villa at Christmas, finished the season in 8th.
 
Hrmmmm.
Have you changed tactics or training?
If not, who did you sign in Jan. Could have disrupted the team or something.
 
if you are using the same tactic all the time ta AI is getting familiar with it and is no more effective try altering your tactic
 
simply just change one or two players and your starting strategy slightly. That usually works for me
 
Why does it still say Portsmouth 2nd? Anyway Bad luck with the results, go over everything and see if there is anything you changed in January.
 
the ai does not get familiar with your tactic

They decide to change their tactic to counter yours if you are on a winning streak like IRL.
I know I might do the same if i was them.
Thats why a slight alteration can throw them off
 
read the the thread about the GHOST TACTIC...........tis guy explains everything.............

Ok you carry on believing the AI gets familiar to your tactic you noob.

a) the ME does not know difference between AI and user, this would mean all AI and user get use to eachothers tactics - a lie.

b) it is to do with fatigue and morale levels at your club.

Need i say more?

Brian95 above expained.....................thats all

If you are going to abuse other members, make sure you've got a valid point to go with it.

The AI (computer - every other team in FM apart from yours) will figure out that you're using the same tactic week in week out. The game is more advanced than it was a year or two ago and can do it now.
 
You meet each AI manager twice a year, usually (maybe more if you meet in cup competitions..)

So you are saying that it only takes each AI manager 1 or 2 games to get "used to your tactic"?

Don't talk nonsense... as far as the ME is concerned, each AI manager could be a human manager, it doesn't know any difference between the two.

Each AI manager is different, they use different tactics, different team-talks, use the Press in different ways, etc. - just like each human manager does. All the ME does is process what the individual managers/players do/say based on the information passed to it through normal game-play. Some weeks you'll win, some weeks you'll lose, some weeks you'll draw... just like the AI managers.

To the OP, has there been any speculation regarding your players and transfers? Have you signed any new players? Have you changed anything re: training, tactics, team-talks, etc? Everything has a bearing, some with a more negative effect than others, you need to see what has changed and fix it. (that's what being a manager is all about ;) )
 
An interesting dip in form, has happened twice for me, when managing Plymouth Argyle. The first time this has happened, was in my 2nd season, chasing promotion from League 1. It was February time, we just beat promotion rivals Norwich 3-1 at home- We then had a horrible spell until the end of the season. We couldn't defend, we couldn't pass, we couldn't score. Thank Lord, we was already 20+ points in the playoff position- We refound our form and were promoted from the Playoffs.

In my 3rd season, in the Championship, we made a fantastic start. 2nd in the league, come the turn of New Year- From the moment we lost to Sunderland, we went on an 11 game losing streak. We dropped to 13th, mid-march and a very slim chance of making the playoffs.

Being the manager, I have to take the blame- As much as it hurts ;)
