So I decide to do a little test today, I've been playing football manager 2010 for just over a week now, tho I have played other versions in the past.
When I create or try to create a tactic, I like to start from the back, before moving forward and onto the more attacking area's of the tactic.
Now up untill the last few days I have not sat and watched the full match, or used the tools on hand to build what can be considered "good or very good" tactics (Yes I know, this is bad) however as said the last few days has seen that change and I have started to watch the full match's and try to use the tools to refine and build my tactics, however I am still having problems and here is one of the main ones.
I started a new game today as Newcastle, I set the philosiphy to "Very rigid" and left the stratagy to normal, I then decided that as a test I would set both full backs to a defensive mentality, and also turn off there "run from deep" instructions, I also made sure they had little creative freedom, in the hopes they would do what I had told them to do.
What I expected to see was both fullbacks staying in or around there position, not going forward, not taking risks and not leaving gaps in my defense, would you like to know what infact happend?
Well even tho the philosiphy had been set to very rigid and I had done everything I thought was possible to stop them going forward, what instead happend was that both fullbacks would always run forward, past the halfway line and quite a few time's to the byline.
So, can someone please tell me why my fullbacks are not doing what I have told them to do? Is the match enigine broke? or am I missing something here?
Any help/advice would be welcome.
Thanks
