Hello all.
I'm a pretty average FM player, however I have done a LOT of reading up on tactics and formations and everything else. My problems come down to tactic-creation confidence. I have little to none. And the reason why this becomes a problem (beyond the obvious) is that I'm not sure whether I should have a "match prep" or if I should create say... 1, 2, or 3 tactics that I want my team to learn to use in any scenario I might face. OR if I should create one or two static tactics (so my team learns how to play in those ways) and then have one match prep tactic that changes according to who I play, each week. Does anyone else have this problem? I mean I think this notion that you can only create three tactics at a time is rubbish.
Think of it this way.. I'm playing as Milan right now. We're a huge club. Let's say I want us to be attacking.. So my tactic for Milan might look like... Fluid, Attacking, Direct passing, pressing more, aggressive tackling, etc. etc. Then my second tactic for Milan might look like (for use against clubs like Juve or Barca or whoever) Balanced, Standard, Default, stand off, cautious, etc. etc. But then I'm only left with one more tactic to make, therefore my team can't learn more than just what's being prepared. So if I need to play with my team closing down at "default" I can't have them learn this unless I create a 3rd tactic using default closing down.
Does that make any sense?
I'm probably making this more complicated than it is.. But essentially I can't figure out how to balance between making one or two tactics, or having match preparation, or having my team learn how to play different styles just in case the way we're playing isn't working. Another example.. Let's say I want my team to play very fluid controlling soccer (ala barca) with great short passing, a high press, etc you know the drill. Well, what happens when we go up against a team that is countering this really well? I wouldn't want to make changes that cause my team to be playing football that they don't know / aren't prepared for, right?
Any help would be lovely.
Thanks
