Im abusing the Overload version in homegames vs medicore/weak teams, and it got me 7-0 vs fulham among other things

Conn, of course it's nice to have such scores but Overload version shouldn't be used for whole match even against weak teams. I would recommend stick to the guide and use only after 1st half and MOST important when you get goal you need then immediately switch back to Base tactic.

How is RVP doing for you?

For me he scored 21 goals until he got injured in december for 5 weeks.. When he came back he had a streak of 20+ game that he didn't score!! But gave a lot of assists and most of the time i subbed him for Welbeck who kept on scoring! He only managed 3 goals after his injury and they all came in the final PL game!

WHy not use it if its working and i got the option? I mean what can go wrong?

If Shaw is injured, and i lack a good cover as WBL and im vs a weak/mediocra team at home i will use overload, simply becasue it means i can use Mata as ML and get Januzaj as AMC. Can't see using the brain to ge the best out of the squad is bad. if it is id realy like to know why.

But normaly im using the normal version so don't worry.
Chelsea game i used normal and swapped to time waste last 10min of first half, then normal in 2nd half until 15min left = time waste.

I think im following the guide as good as i can tbh.
I also take lessons from mistakes i do, so im not repeating them.

EPL is very competitive league and even mediocre teams can deliver you some pain if you won't respect them and gonna use Overload version for whole match. Yes, you can get away this that for some period and have nice scores but soon or later you'll get busted :)

I just want to say that use it with caution ;) don't be too reckless because on long road distance such approach will be more efficient.

So i play normal, not much happening so 30min in i put on Overload.
Vietto putting one in on overtime first half to give me the lead.

2nd half, i go normal, get a goal from Mata, and i cheer loud (so loud my mom told me to keep it down xD)
Then Espinoza gets sendt off.
You would think i would overload? nope, i set controll, and tick more direct passing to open up the space.

Resoult you can see, Bournmouth only had 1 shoot that Horn had to save. AVR team 8.26, GREAT :p

Total, dont kill me for this xD, but i do belive once red Card occours its better to controll the game and exploit the room given up by the player sendt off regardless of tactic.

I'll soon update OP and add this. I hope it could be helpful. It's recommended team setup in order to feel yourself comfortable during the season.

- 2 players who can play WBL position and have at least "Competent" rating for ML position. They must be left footed.
- 2 players who can play WBR position and have at least "Competent" rating for MR position. They must be right footed.
- 1 player who can play WBR/WBL positions. He can have only "Competent" rating for these positions and you need him in case of unlucky injuries streak of main players for these positions. What main foot he's got isn't such important but it's important that he has rating for his weak foot no less than "Reasonable" because it may happens he need play on right and left flanks.
- 3 players who can play Striker position: 2 main and 1 for rotation. Also it's possible to have additional player for this position, you need him in case of unlucky injuries streak of main/rotation players.
- 5 players who can play on Central Defender position: 3 main players and 2 for rotation. Few of them must be left footed in order to play DCL position and few must be right footed to play DCR position. Also it’s possible to have additional player for this position, you need him in case of unlucky injuries streak of main/rotation players.
- 2 players who can play AM/MC positions.
- 2 players who can play DM/MC positions.
- 1 player who has at least "Competent" rating for AM/CM/DM positions. You need him in case of unlucky injuries streak of main/rotation players for these positions.

Heh... Conn, of course I won't :P all my recommendations is just an advice and experience I had and decision follow it or not is up to you and I'm sure in many cases your decision what approach to use will be more appropriate.

This stuff is fun as heck :D

I get the odd games now and again like this:

View attachment 342583View attachment 342582

City game in particulare, the referee Jones must ahve bene bought and payed by City.
Carric got sendt of by getting a Direct red card in a tackle i saw in replay 5 times. He slides in from the front left, takes the ball, starts moving up, ref blows and he gets sendt off.

Also, he last goal came after i tried overload to get a draw. Played Normal the whole game before that.

grr get so ******, now i lose FA cup, Carling cup, League, and only hope is Champions league ><

Thanks, mate. Glad to hear you are having fun with it ;)
 
i NEEDED to win vs Villa to have any hops of PL Metal so i gave rats ***, made a squad meeting telling the lads we can do better, swapped counter attitude to attack and closed my eyes.

The resoult:

View attachment 342549 View attachment 342548

Barbosa was wicked this game.
If i were lucky i would have scored 10+ goals, and i most certainly dident expect this.
2 bad the constant attack made our defence go into a slumber and let Villa bang two goals, but hey, atleast i got 3 points, and now i got some slick homegames left, away games vs palace and arsenal so i should have a decent shoot atthe title considering im first atm :)

Heh... Conn, here's small moment... I saw on your screenshots that you use only 40% for Match Training but I really don't understand why Match Training is underestimate by many. It gives awesome temporary buff for next match which makes real difference... so I recommend to have on 50%. Btw, most of time I have it set for "Def. Position" because I find it more safe and I set it for "Att. Movement." only against really weak teams.

Once more patience is a virtue :P :P When you play against weak teams and see lack of action and it makes you eager to release Overload version... I would recommend to wait till 2nd half because in this case you still have a lot of time to turn things around.
Heh... of course if you start losing during the 1st half then you should switch for Overload version immediately. :)

yeah i know. im just monitoring youth skill progress atm, but normaly i have more match training, dont worry :)

i just found out from the guy welding my car that the amount of rust is far more than what he thought, so it will cost me atleast doubble of what i thought it would . . . talk about crappy news when i dont have a high income ><

Anyone want to pay me to play fm? :p

I use def position or def set pices normaly aswell unless vs crappy teams.
 
But total, swapping to balanced instead of V.Fluid away vs hard teams realy pays off.
Im totaly dominating Real MAdrid away and 3-0 up after 60min.

question ow is, do i swap to time waste or stick to it as real had no chances yet?

I would switched for Waste Time version without thinking because if you hold this score it means you are almost guaranty in next round... so why risk? If Real hasn't had chances before 60 min it doesn't mean he won't have after :)

CL Final vs Bayern

Resoult
View attachment 342415

A game i dominated totaly. I vent up 1-0 then swapped to time waste.
2nd half Alaba put Bayern back on track after an incredible lucky deflection on a cross.

I changed back to normal, and finaly Wayne scored his second to secure us the win (or so i thought...)
Swapped to Time waste again,and then Bayern decided to create nothing more than 3CCC were lewandowski put one behind De Gea to tie for penalties.

The shootout was nervebreaking as De Gea saved Bayerns first penalty, but terrible penalties from Van Persie, Carrick and Phil Jones lost us the throphy.

Dissapointed as heck, as this game should be won by a large margine.

Summary of the Unreal experience

All over Unreal Tactics is the most fun tactics i have tested, wich force me to think like a manager, and it was a heck of a fun ride!
That said, i do spot weaknesses, especially away from home were the fluke can be to totaly dominate and get a draw or hardly beeing able to create much.
The only weakness i can clearly see here is that all 3 tactics are counter tactics focused on fluid play, and sometimes i do think the games need anotehr approach than counter.

The **** Rates this tactic 5/6 and highly recommend it if you are looking to put you're brain to work!

The **** Was Here

Hey, haven't played fm for a while and new to using the forums, been looking for a tactic for an arsenal save, would you say this is better than your pure insanity one for an arsenal team i.e. to get the best out of ozil/sanchez etc. and would you recommend Lucas Romero or William Carvalho for DM? :) reply would be awesome, thanks!

Carvalho by a mile, but Romero could work as a backup
