That depends how well you understand the game and tactics. FM isn't inconsistent. Wrong management can make you as a team inconsistent though.

well i simply do not understand the game, I have never been able to sue the tactics with FM 14. FM 13 I was able to get the hang of it and i was with Aston Villa. I presumed with Bayern things would be easier but no, I just can work this game I am afraid. Losing my love for FM at the moment.
 
I tweak my tactics before every half season so my team doesn't get found out and smanged by some relegation candidate..

Changed my tactics for the 2019-20 season start with a resounding 6-0 win over partick thistle.. in the next game i hump The Zombies (aka Rangers) 8-1 in Glasgow (and their team is almost as BS as Man U on this game) so things are going well.. Striker gets injured no bother i expect less goals. What i don't expect however is to start shipping goals every game because of a STRIKER getting injured! it's almost as if my tactics have already been found out and it's only about the 5th game of the season!! how do i stop this incredible bullsh*t to stop happening and have my defence, defend again?

Then open a thread and ask some questions about what you don't understand? Not sure if they're here too, but there are some good basic guides over at SI too.

Tactics don't get "found out" specifically. If they did, I wouldn't have been able to use my tactic for 3 seasons now.

Really? I'd love to play online with you to see how that works.

Personally i've found that plug and play tactics aren't too effective. Assessing home/away, opposition tactic, their strongest players, where to exploit etc. and implementing that into a tactic works wonders.

Only saw your comment the now..
I use my own tactics they work, then they don't work as well so i tweak, then back to working well and so on.. but now i can't find a tweak that fixes this tactic...

I have to confess that I'm at a big club now and we were a big club 3 seasons ago too. Teams won't line up drastically different against me because of that.

If it were different and I started as a small or mid-table club, I'd have to change my tactic eventually. Teams are more willing to attack you (ie commit players forward) if you're a weaker club. That changes as you grow, so instead of relying on the counter-attack to win games, you'd have to find another way.
 
That being said (and I'm glad I'm in the right thread for this) Man Utd still whips my **** every single time. They're not even the best in the league, but every season I struggle against them only.

Fair enough |)
 
Tottenham again. Lose an away game to Man Utd 4-0 - fair enough, players were tired after FA and Euro cup. 3 days later, 3-0 win against an in-form Chelsea. Next match- away game vs Cardiff. Morale super high after the Chelsea smashing, Adebayor with 15 league goals, Sigurthsson with 8. Obviously, at half time we're losing 4-0. This game just wants me to hate it.
 
Ok, Thanks. what is the SI by the way. may sound like a stupid question?

Oh **** me, why? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO INJURE HIM LIKE THAT? OF ALL OF MY KEEPERS?! COSTIL, DAMIAN MARTINEZ, ****, EVEN ILIEV, I WOULD'VE BEEN FINE WITH, BUT MAD WOJ?
AND WHO THE HECK DOES A TACKLE LIKE THAT IN TRAINING? IT'S FREAKING TRAINING FFS.
This is going to be the longest 8 in-game months of my career.
Wish me luck.

An actual frustration for a change! Pity you don't know who injured him. It'd be great to let that guy loose in the London derbies. :D

Oh, and good luck!
 
This game is intended to wind you up, you know what? I'm perfectly calm. So I win.
 
I played a full season with Bilbao over the last 2 nights, (night shift) I finished 3rd and was challenging for 2nd right til the end. Was very happy with this season and looking forward to building for the next when I got a major crash and lost all my work. I just sat for about half an hour not believing this had happened to me. Now I have to start over but needless to say I don't have the same enthusiasm for it.

Trust me, you have no idea how frustrating it is to see an injury like that occur from training. >.>
