Hi FM-Base,
We're very pleased to announce that we have a new and improved Tactic Testing now live! The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed this a few days ago but we're now happy to officially announce this to the public.
How is Tactic Testing done?
We test each tactic over a 90 game season (11 months in total) with 5 teams of varying levels of both ability and reputation. Each team is in a self-contained league that mimics real-life (majority the same level, but some are in the level above or below). This means that our test teams should be around mid-table level.
To make the test balanced transfers, internationals, injuries and fatigue are turned off for all teams.
What are the levels and how are they calculated?
Levels of teams are based on club reputation. The levels are as follows:
We worked out the average reputation of each of the levels, combined with taking a set of 5 clubs (2 top reputation, 2 lowest reputation and 1 in the middle) to find out the Top and Bottom CA for players, as well as the Median.
Has the formula changed from the last version?
Yes, each formula is specific to the club level and based on the initial results that we have seen from the tactics.
Which data are we tracking?
We will be tracking the following for each level:
This means we can display the following:
Why is this better?
This is not just offering more data than any other test, we are factoring in more that can impact a tactic’s success. We’ve done research based on clubs in the game to make sure that our test database reflects in-game as accurately as possible while removing variables that can lead to inconsistencies. While some tests use just ability and some use just reputation we have combined them to offer the most realistic test we possibly can.
Our overall score is weighted to ensure balance too, we’ve noticed other scores can give an advantage to the better team test, however by making it about Points per Game we eliminate this in order to deliver an equal score based on all levels that were tested.
When will it be updated?
We will be updating tactic testing every 3-4 days. This is to ensure quality control and every update comes with a significant amount of new tactics that have been tested.
As always we'd love your feedback and appreciate your passion for our work.
