Ok guys,

So it appears on new patch that the players take a lot of long shots, even are set to rare Long shot on Player's setting.

I guess that in order to decrease the Run with ball effect on 13.2 patch, 13.2.1 makes it harder to dribble through. In fact, when player cannot run with ball forward, his choices are restricted to pass or shot. If it is still far from the opposition net, he will shot it long. So the first solution I think about for this patch is:

- Try to hug the Touchline for more cross
- Push up the D-line, to be nearer with the opposition net
- Decrease player's freedom to decrease his willing on Long shot taking

Any idea you guys have, please share here please! Because I'm at office right now it will be until 12 hours later that I can play the game. Cheers!

Made the changes you suggested and now 2 home defeats in a row. It seems the pacth has changed the wingers completely! They dont dare to run with ball, still move into center, and as this happens the AMC and CM dont play through balls. Also for some reason, with the original COMBO 1 tactic the players played very aggresive, allways made the tackle to get the ball from oponents, now they just run beside them, not making the tackle..

The first game with the changes i was beat 2-3 against everton, the next 1-0 to norwich.. NEVER had results like that with these tactics...

Don't worry mate!

This should happen for tactics each time a new patch released.

I will check and try to figure things out soon,

Any sharing and solution from other testers now is welcomed a lot!

How has 2Combo worked for you, mate? Is it good enough?

And what is your team?

I play Warta Poznan and I'm 2nd season after promotion to Ekstraklasa.2Combo is doing really well, I'm not scoring too many golas but winning ;) I lost only 1 game in the league sience I use only 2Combo.

Hi bartolomeofc,

I assume that the good results you have obtained on 13.2 patch. How is your Warta Poznan doing now on new patch 13.2.1?

Okay you will need a good striker, either good header or pacey one.

Wingers must be pacey, good crossing is better

CMs not important. Either BWM type or DLP type. No need pacey ones.

AMC you only focus on pass and some mental att, generally a typical AP.

Fullbacks the better ones the better result. Normal GK.

Try this tactic and keep me posted mate! Cheers!

It seems Xmas bought some panic, lol.

Will try to help, tweaking the new 1combo, the new 2combo and the orignial 2combo

And the test will be with Chelsea at home :D
 
Combo1 is still great for me using a good side at home. Away it is still good/ok against middle to bottom table teams as well. I still think the wingers are devastating and their wide play is move into channels for me. They dont pass or cross the ball enough after dribbling past several players but thats football
 
Won 3-2 at home using 2combo my version againt Chelsea. One goal from them was a penalty and i was winning 3-0 at 45 mins.

Then i shouted keep possession, hassle opponents, close down, they scored 1 but nothing more.

Here it is the file that i promised. Please test.

Just won 0-1 against City, they had 13 long shots from 21 and only 6 at target, no CCCs

Is this Long shot a problem with you?
 
Stop using (again) 1combo. It does works as i see fit for my team. Will try the new 2combo tomorrow.
 
I dont have problem with long shots. And yes combo1 works very well at home but you must have good wingers who are quick and can dribble.

Yeah good news there mate!

I myself don't have problem with Long shot issue so I don't know what to do to help the others. My squad (Man utd) is nothing too special (3rd season): Welbeck, Weiss, Rooney, Valencia, P.John, Andrea Poli, Fabio, Smalling, Evans, Rafael, De Gea.

This weekend I am free, so I intend to start a new game with another weaker team. I think this should provide me ideas to help you guys out.

At first I think about Molde, but there will be no chance to play the same league with the top teams. So maybe I will restart with Leed Utd, one of my favorite clubs!

No, it does not. Played against Newcastle, at home and had to do a comeback to draw 2-2 (minute 93!!!).

Have you tried the apvmoreira version of your tactic?

Tonight, if i have some time (working late on my hotel's new years eve), i will try the new version of 2combo.

Also, if you are interested, i can send in PM the tactic that im using atm.
 
I'm using Man Utd for this tactics for a while but my strikers especially Van Persie quiet struggling to score goals
any advice for this?
even my wingers can score more than him

You don't have good regens that you can use? In my 2nd season i already have one in the 1st team!

Btw, did you tested the tactic that i have published, tweaked version of your 2combo?
