Tactic Mentality

[MasterDeadly]

Hi guys,

Got a question for you, when your building your tactic you have to set your teams mentality to either counter, attacking, standard, defensive etc etc ...

Well, I noticed that in FM14 if you change the mentality your players lose ALOT of familiarity with the tactic. Does this mean that during the game I shouldn't touch the mentality and just rely on instructions? I've been in need of a goal and wanted to go to overload but the players just lose so much familiarity with the tactic making me think " Is it worth it?"

What's your take on this?

Not at all! You must be aware that inspite your tactic and strategy maybe awesome, sometimes you will need to change something during a match. There will be always those "pain in the ***" matches In FM14 you don't tweak mentalities, you change strategy and sometimes it might be necessary to change it... or not, all depends on watching the match to aknowledge what might be wrong.

Thanks Miguel, I'm just really struggling with FM14 can't ever get a good run going.

I suppose it's just a balancing act, do you change strategy mid game which your players aren't used to but it could be enough of a change to really put things in your favour regardless.

And you need to stop thinking in terms of fm13 and start thinking in terms of fm14 Still, we'll have to wait until 31st October to take a look at all the changes and then really start digging the tactical and strategical aspects. Until then there's a risk of thinking that something is wrong with the tactic when it could be a bug.

Create a separate overload tactic, this way your team will train and become fluid playing both systems.

That is probably the best idea to be honest. However I usually like to have 3 vastly varying tactics.

" And you need to stop thinking in terms of fm13 and start thinking in terms of fm14 "

I am thinking in terms of FM14, when you change mentality from standard to attacking (in FM14) your tactic familiarity drops substantially which made me want to ask this question
