Beating Barca, not bad! But lost more than won so far.

yup, your tactic just beat the hardest team to beat in this test.. :)
the only problem (just like other tactics) is the consistency.. :p
it happens when a team beat barca away, then convincingly lose at home against weaker team..
 
At least its consistent in beating Barcelona, as that's who I beat in the champions league final :p

I found creating a guaranteed 4/5 CCC a game almost impossible with it, which is why I'm trying more attacking tactics now.
 
any luck with the uploading of the save game?

Hi, I uploaded the database of this project in this forum..
''The file is currently in the moderation queue..''
No idea how long it takes for them to make it available though..

I tried to upload the game save actually, but it failed..
So I uploaded the edited database instead..
Lemme know if you get it..

yeah, it was a convincing win.. only raikan's got better score against them (4-1).. I think..
it certainly harder to dominate the game with the new patch..
keep working on it, and lemme know when you have new and improved version..

ive sent you a PM regarding BOX account. I can host it there
 
I can only say that
Luck is very important

consistency is the key.. its very hard to achieve it in this patch..
Mr Hough's did it in ROUND 1 and won the league..
But that was on the old patch..
 
hi ilfandy! could you test my "zemanlandia"? Thanks!
 
Bayern playing a 2-4-4 formation..... How's that!!!!

well, why not?
I've seen many AI teams switch to weird attacking formation while falling behind..
of course that's not how the start the match..

Notes:
- It looks like there's only one spot left for each league for the champ. playoffs
- Only one tactic survive in the cup..
 
After a relatively not-so-convincing rounds, I'm thinking of re-shaping this project..
Maybe, by not using a custom league, or changing mode to classic, etc..
Or still in normal mode but using the real leagues..
Like, taking over top 3/4 teams in ENG, SPA and ITA..
But of course its gonna take weeks to finish only one round this way..
 
ive been playing around with the save you uploaded. in my opinion you should add friendlies and season prep - vacation until the league starts. That way the tactic will be at least on competent when the league play starts

thats a very good idea

i think that every team having the same players is important to evaluate the diferences between the tactics. what you can do is not have so many world class players, because these tend to be very inventive and think out of the box, so they might not perform equally well for every team. maybe you could try using average players instead, this, along with healmuth's suggestion would probably improve the "fairness" of the tests and make the results be more realistic, with less 5-3's or 4-4's.
