Thanks a_ilfandy for your reply. Btw, can i ask if whether the setting for players to play for a match is pick by the tactic maker itself for example: (preferred type of player for wingers or MC) or ask assistant to pick for you?

And, whether c.ronaldo is playing winger or ST?

Thanks.

All team selections are done by the "Quick Pick' which I believed been decided by the Ast. Manager.
In the case of Zero Sea testing, Ronaldo play most of the time as the AML. Unless Benzema is injured.
For tactics with 2 strikers, the quick pick normally partner Ronaldo with Benzema.

V3 Come Out

Updates:
V3:
reduce f*cking long shots

This time,Could you test my 424 in a team with good ST ?

Great to know you will be testing with some average teams

Could you please include my tactic into your next set of tests?

Zippyshare.com - 4-1-2-1-2 Niche (dutchbrit).tac

I sent u a private message with some info on the tactic. Thanks (A)

Got them! Both of you guys are in Round 6.
Zero Sea, all tactics assigned to each team by alphabetical order. To avoid preferences.
Since your profile name started with a Z so most probably you will get Wrexham.
Plus, I know nothing about the Skrill teams. So I dunno which team has good St.
Cheers guys!

http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/shar...ure-tactic-epl-win-everton-1st-season-20.html post 192 on that page dude has the tactic, just test the 'Chrissy's pressure balanced' tactic, cheers and thanks in advance

Dude, sorry to hear about certain 'issues' that have been said while I'm offline.
I can assure you Mantorras or his testing does not meant to degrade any tactic/creator. Believe me.

Its just a risk that every tester takes when testing other people's tactics.
Me myself has received some sour treatments when the results went wrong for some tactics in the past.

Now that everything seems OK between you guys, so please, post them back in this forum.
The SI forum is a bit too unfamiliar with me, thats why I only 'hangout' here for FM.

 

[spiattalo]

Is it me or lower teams seem to struggle a lot more against AI?

Anyway, I have another tactic I'd like you to test whenever possible. Also, you should use this with a team that has opposite-foot IFs (right on left and viceversa) if you can. View attachment 454042

It does look that way isnt? I think its because the diferences between the squad quality is a bit more narrow. Compared to the previous format. I was quite worried at the start of the season, but the performance improved together with the familiarity of the tactics.

I'm concluding the final results of this round right now. And honestly, I'm supprised that all trophies are still won by the testing teams. So yeah, its more challenging, but not impossible.

Btw, check my reply on Zero Sea about 'tactics entry and the teams they will be assigned to'. Post #147

Sorry, I had missed that part, of course I understand.

Regarding lower/bigger teams, I believe it's also because most tactics have at least 1-2 specialist roles and lower teams just can't afford that, having "bad" players. So I wouldn't say the previous format was better, maybe that it gave different kind of answers?

I made a small change, nothing game breaking, but hopefully I'm still on time. View attachment 453951

 

[nSickboy]

Looks good, thanks for testing. I guess I will have to work on improving my defence.

 

[lordofavp]

I was wondering if you could test my tactic out. This is my only tactic that I've made for FM14.
Not really sure if it will do that great but just wanted to see how it compares to other tactics.

I have attached the file with this reply. Its a normal 433 formation with a DM.

 

[niclas70]

wow! League and playoff victory Thanks again for testing. It's nice to see my defence was working.
Maybe I'll have to start a save with Forest Green and see how it goes.

 

[animatedreaden]

Congrats to both of you guys. At the start of the season I was worried that none of the trophy will be won by the testing tactics. It turned out the opposite, ALL of them won by the testing tactics. Good job guys!

 

[a_ilfandy]

Looks good, thanks for testing. I guess I will have to work on improving my defence.

Almost there mate. Runners up in both League B and the Playoffs.
But you got the best offence award though. By quite a margin.
Yes, work on the defence.

Hohoo. Guess who's back!? Where have you been mate??
Definitely! Will test yours in Round 7, since Round 6 already started.
Stick around though. Do more 'skeetskeet' in FM14.
