Tactics & Training: The " I have a small question " thread

[zzeezzy]

I have made some schedules to hopefully develop my hot youths more than the normal ones and I have chose individual training focuses for players who I believe have weaknesses they need to improve on. Is there anything else I can do other then Individual Training Focus and Training Schedules to improve players?

You could also tutor them which could be a great way to improve their determination and some other mental stats and fav. moves.

Hi, still relatively new to this! Still in my first season with Man City but im currently top so thought i would come and find a good train schedule, however i cant decide which one to get?

Which is regarded as the best for both youth and senior?

I just downloaded a training preset. There are presets titled "Preseason 1-4" which stresses on Strength and Aerobic training for the preseason. Is there anyone on here who does this sort of training in the preseason???

Yer thats the sort of training to do in pre-season to get the players fitness back up to the right level after there break. Just make sure you set them all back to their normal training when the pre season ends.

Are the benefits recognizable because i never did this in the previous versions of the game. What improvements would i see? My players condition is presently in the mid 70's after a week without the preseason training. I really want to now if this is necessary.

Dunno if this should be posted in here or it deserves a new topic. I'm playing as Norwich on FM11 and I'm using my 4-4-1-1 I used in FM10 apart from that this time it's really not working well. I've bought in Henri Lansbury, Emmanuel-Thomas, Kyle Walker and Ben Alnwick on loan and I'm looking for a good formation/tactic setup to help me get good performances. Any advice or suggested tactics I should download?

My problem is that I just cannot get wing play to work. I'm playing as Birmingham, so I have Santa Cruz and Zigic to aim crosses to, and yet my team is useless from them. My wingers are Beacejour (sp) Larsson and hleb. All good crossers.

They do have oppertunities to cross, but they either dwell on the ball for ages and ages and let the defender get a block in, or the cross is useless. On the rare occasion a cross is good the striker is nowhere to be seen. I honestly cannot fathom why, because everyone is saying how effective wingers on the new game.

So my question is quite simply how do I get my wingers to beat their man, get to the byline and float in an acurrate cross for my target man?

At the moment, I have Santa Cruz/ Zigic as Target man- attack, and Cameron Jerome as poacher. The Beacejour is winger- attack and Larsson is winger- support. They are set to roam, cross aimed to target man, cross from mixed and wide play normal. (although I have tried the alternatives to these and it seems to make no difference)

Please help as I love to play wing play but I swear in the new game it just doesn't work!

I'm using a classic tactic with wingers that works great... I have them both the same, attacking with high creative freedom, direct passing, forward runs often, run with ball often, through balls often, cross ball often, cross from mixed, cross aim mixed

the only thing I'm not happy about it is the wide play setting (which is normal atm) but that's because I'm loathe to change anything whilst the tactics bug is still there (driving me nuts as it is...)

Same with me here I never got the wingers to work too..Their cross completed is WAY TOO LOW while the opposition just make 4-5 crosses and score from it :/ this is extremely frustrating that I've stop playing with wingers and start a new save. But u say your Wingers keep dwelling on the ball, so try not to set 'hold up ball' instructions to them.

But if it still don't work maybe both of us were cursed :/

If it's not too much to ask please could I see a screenshot of your formation, winger and striker settings? (A)

nahh, it's too much to ask...

hehe




note I'm using a classic tactic, in order : formation (duh), wingers (both set the same - except the set-piece instructions), striker right, striker left.

I've never been able to adequately transfer the classic tactic into the new tactics creator which is why I stick with the classic - that, and the frigging seriously annoying tactics bug that means I can't really 'tinker' with the tactics properly to get them 'just so' .

Thanks mate, I really appreciate it

 

[endimios]

Lower his creative freedom and set long shots to raely and teach PPM - Opts for pass rather than shot

Thanks!

Now that they've started scoring more often, I am faced with another problem. I am using a 4-3 (all central midfielders)-1-2 and it's working very well. The team is winning or, in the worst case, not losing. But I noticed that instead of winning by just 1 or 2 goals, we could score many more if only it were not so crowded in the penalty area when my midfielders are trying moves or shots. Often, very often, a goalbound shot will rebound off one of my own forward players and, worst, initiate a counter attack for the opposition. I've tried playing very wide, but it works only for the middle of the field, not the final third (my forwards tend to go wide, but only to swarm back in the penalty area in the final stage of an attack). Is there a solution that would not compromise the formation (the team is so used to it, I had to sell my wide players)?

[burjennio]

one niggling thing that Ive not gotten round in the last few months - when your *** Man says "such and such player isnt used to closing down / lower tempo etc how do you get the player to adapt? Is it a case of having to go into his advanced settings and change your tactics to suit that particular player or can he overcoming his failings through match practice and training?

 

[Souty]

How would I be able to make a centre forward for example I want to have my inside forwards (left & right) play in front of centre forward if that's possible

LW---------------------RW but when I am on the attack --------------CF----------------
-------------CF-------------- I want the wingers to drop in --------LW-----RW----------

Cheers for any help possible
