TACTICs

massive manager fan - from day 1 (stan the man was at southend)

normaly i find a tactic i like and works but this FM11 is mission impossible

tryed all sorts, think i got it sorted, win a coulpe and then lose 5, win a couple lose even more. change tactic and same again.

surley there is a basic tactic that makes you wont to play the game.
 
which tactics have you tried mate? what team are you playing with? are you making individual tweaks to your team? there are many different factors that affect performance :)
 
your probably losing becuase you keep changing your tactics so the team can't get settled?
 
It depends what players you have, obviously a tactic that's primarily through the middle is not going to be amazing at a team with plenty of wingers. The closest to a plug-n-play tactic I found that worked was Goals Galore, but even then I had to alter some roles/ long shots/ creative freedom sliders.

If you are struggling even though having a balanced squad, its down to either the tactic/tactics not beingg ood enough or you as a coach not being good enough at the man handling. In this years edition, there are fewer holes in the match engine to exploit and as tactics means less in general, its important to understand the importance of having a balanced squad and knowing how to motivate the players, the warfare in the media and the fact that some players, due to ppms, will play on role very different from anotherplayer ( not tactics as such yes?).

When I wrote that tactics means less, its with the assumption that one uses a balanced tactic. If using one that do exploit on eof the few holes in the ME that does exist ( not against all aproaches, only against some teams/team settings), , you will get an advantage towards the AI but unless benig able to handle the rest of your job as a manager and actually know how the tactic works, you will fail to recognize this tactic for what it is and eventually changes it for sometyhing else( something that simply does not work) When using a tactic that is heavily unbalanced, well then tactics means everything and no team talk in the workd can save you.

With this said, what approach have you been taking as a manager, both regarding tactics and man handling ?
 
just got sacked as rangers manager, i used 4-2-3-1 every game i had 20 odd shots, no one had long shooting on, opponents had under 10 but still scored more than me.

fken joke
 
why are you going attacking, if to be completely honest, you are one of the worst teams in the league?
 
when took the job, had 8 players in the team, signed 18 freebees
am trying to attack to win.
 
try counter-attacking?

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

then if your players have full morale and your doing well switch attackingly maybe if your confident?
 
As you clearly are not interested in getting any help, I dont know what to say
 
jsut becuase you tick teh box doesn't necessarily mean that you will go straight out counter attack and win?
 
i no that,

i have been reading almost every post about tactics, and trying what thy say and it defenaitly me thats doing somthing roung because nothing i do seam to stop me from loosing badly and then win 1 then lose heap
 
Does your tempo suit the way your team plays?
Maybe try pressing aggressively,
Check which players have roaming set.

Hope some of this advice helps
 
At least try to manage top teams first, like Barca, Utd or Inter Milan because they're much easier to play if you're not that good at this game
