***THE BETTER HALFS TACTIC UPLOAD & DISCUSSION

just started with norwich with tweaked version first 4 games at home to chelsea 1-1 away to liverpool won 0-1 home to newcastle won 2-1 and away to manu 1-1 not bad start
 
This is by far the best formation I've ever tried. In my first season with Milan I won treble! Balotelli scored over 60 goals. What makes this formation even better (if that's possible) is that it works with ANY team, well at least for me. As long as you have a big striker with heading, jumping and finishing of at least 15, you'll bang goals like a deaf dog :D I swear, sometimes I feel that if I put a GK as a striker he'd bang goals like crazy! Hats off TBH!
 
The "tweaked by jusftified" link, which sounds pretty awesome, is dead - can anyone relink to a working download?

There's my tweak on the tactic although I'm sure TBH will be releasing his own soon.

Tweaks (I've kept it as the TC version so people can mess around with it in FMC as well) :

Set Peices : I've tweaked them so they are "generic" so all you have to do is tweak for your own team. Defending Free Kicks is default however defending cornors is pretty generic for any team and worked as well with Liverpool as WBA. If you're conceeding a lot you might want to use match training. Attacking cornors is set up so your stopper is challenging the keeper, your faster covering is attacking the near post, the striker feeds off scraps at the far post. DPL is lurking outside the box to recycle possesion however this could be the AMC as well. 1 player comes short, either your AMC or the other winger and then a player attacks from deep. Preferably someone with good off the ball skills and anticipation. Attacking free kicks is pretty generic too, set up your best free kick taker, if your AMC is a good long shooter ask him to stand with him, have two players distrupt the wall, your stopper CD attack the keeper.

AML : More attacking mentality. TBH advised to set him up as a wide trequartista when I was talking to him so his mentality now matches the striker. RFD are now set as Rarely, again tipped by TBH.

Closing down : More aggressive closing down to harrass opponents. I felt the prior CD was not high enough.

DMC Passing : Reverted it back to low mixed as it was in the original tactic. Direct passing was just a little too aggressive I think. Hard tackling re-introduced as well.

Tempo + Timewasting : Higher then original, lower then the TC version. I felt slow was a little too patient however I think low normal and higher timewasting gives a nice probing balance to the tactic. Feel free to tweak the timewasting if you feel you're not creating enough chances.

With this tactic I came 3rd in the PL with West Brom and won the title first season with Liverpool. No signings made for both teams. Hope it works for you guys too! :)

can you upload this tactic again mate!?
 
i downloaded this tactic half way through the season at Hartlepool I was 10th then finished 2nd. great tactic.
 
Im playing a downloaded save and im using the tactic.I have a problem,if dont score in the first 15 mins then the match ends a draw but if i score then ends a win by 3-4 goals.

wheres tbh ???

I am here :)

Unfortunately, Steam is hindering me from playing FM right now ( and has been for a couple of weeks). They all of a sudden need a login code ( not my password) that was sent to me in 2008 to an email account that no longer exists. I have tried to contact them but so far I have gotten no help at all. For now, just use the version Justified has uploaded as its just as good as my latest was ( and they are very simlair)

I hope that all gets sorted out quickly for you, TBH! It can be so frustrating - I used to have issues where Steam continually updated then crashed, getting it sorted was long and complicated.
 
TBH split 451 - ml version (13.2.3) on older patch

Hi thebetterhalf

Im playing FM 2013 on patch 13.1.1 and using your TBH split 451 - ml version (13.2.3). All tactic familiarity are at full. Im in the english prem with middlesbrough in my second season and have purchased decent players. I draw a lot of games usually 0-0 or 1-1 and get thrashed heavily by the big four. When i do win I usually score 1 or 2 goals only. The opposition have loads of attempt on my goal and my GK plays out of his skin to keep the scoreline down. My players seem to do a lot of closing down without winning the ball back. The tactic kept me up just about in the first season in the prem.

Why don't i score many goals in particularly my striker? Is the tactic not suitable for the 13.1.1 patch? Is there any tweaks i could make for the 13.1.1 patch? I have tried many other tactics and all are hit and miss and Im close to giving up on the game. Yours has given me stability with the ability to keep tight at the back. Do you recommend any other tactics for the 13.1.1 patch? What were you using?

Please advise

My advice, buy the game so you can update it to the latest patch.
 
What do you put your general training and match preparation at? A little advice please!
 
Finally able to play FM again having sorted out my Steam issues.
As for an update of this tactic, I advice to use the tactic in post 835.

From here on, I will focus only on using the TC and its shouts.
