by testing all of them? :)

I have searched on the web but I cant seem to find anything regarding this new update. Furthermore , the game itself hasnt downloaded any new patch . Once again, knowing that this is the wrong forum , but it seems to be the most active. Apologies for any incoveniences.

(N) just indicates that it's been tested on our new tactic testing league.

23.4.0 is the latest patch and there's has been any other patch since.

@Zippo what is this formation on the new testing league?

it's a standard 4-2-3-1

"C" doesn't have any special meaning

the bellow 2 the most OP formation for AI




But bear in mind, to be successful in real game the "Non Tactical" attributes of an AI manager should also be high but for a tactic testing league it isn't that important some we ignored many of them like, I'm talking about attributes like "Buying Players", "Negotiating", "Business" and some other.

 


Thank you for sharing the attributes! I am gonna have fun playing around with these. Just one question, what is physicality of play? I don't find that in FMRTE.

So there are two 4-2-3-1 formations in the new testing league?

He uploaded a game save. You can check it by yourself.

Zippo said: Hey everybody,

I want to let you know that soon, there'll be some improvements to FM-Arena Tactic Testing League. :cool:

We've managed to adjust the league setting in such way that we forced AI Controlled Teams to play only vs Human Controlled Teams and Human Controlled Teams to play only vs AI controlled Teams, that adjustments prevent wasting computing power on calculation matches where AI Controlled Teams play vs AI Controlled Teams matches and that speeds up the testing process about 2-3 times :woot:, so we probably will be able to test the tactics in the Hall of Fame for 7,000 - 8,000 matches instead 2,000 - 4,000 marches as it happens now.

So the updated tactic testing league would look something like this:





AI Controlled Teams play only vs Human Controlled Teams:






Human Controlled Teams play only vs AI Controlled Teams:




So no more spending computing power on calculating matches where AI Controlled Teams plays vs AI Controlled Teams matches, which speeds up the testing process 2-3 times.


Also, there'll be other improvements, for example, at the moment we've gathered huge amount of data about which AI tactical settings work the best and we're gonna implement them so no more spending computing power on testing vs weak AI managers.

I hope you like it! :thup:

Cheers.


btw Zippo, one more question. can the manager attributes be edited using in game editor? or is it pregame editor only? asking because I have never bought the in game editor so idk what i need to edit the managers like you did.

Is this what the 23.4 (N) patch is for? I was wondering what the difference was between that table and the 23.4 one

To be honest after I did explored more in depth FMRTE the in game editor seem totaly useless. If you want to edit tendencies and stuff you can do that only vie editor. Pre-game is usefull if you wanna do fast test like transfer players etc

Hello all,
So, for my understanding, the net best overall tactic is Blau Diamond Tweak and not Pressure cooker?
Because its doing better vs elite managers in comparisson with the rest of the tactics?

But in reality, most of the times you are not competing with elite managers - perhaps, only on UCL.
So, to perhaps over simplify, would it not be pressure cooker the best tactic for 'normal' games and blau diamond the best for 'elite' games? Hope my point was understood :) and thanks again for the amazing work

The difference from each tactic is minimal, so i guess that you can take whatever tactic you like the most (pressure or blau diamond) and use that as it will not impact your overall results.

I beated everyone in my save (1-7 against Man City included) with a 52 points tactic

Doesn't work like that, if "blau diamond" is the "best", how do you believe will not the best if facing "normal", tactics? You guys need to understand that there is no "better" tactics for underdog or for alphamale. Is about your players output as well.

You can play even with attacking if you have all salah players and mule the M.E.

will it be further testing of tactics from 23.4.0? since it's kinda stopped at some moment with only new tactics being tested

We find that all valuable tactics from 23.4.0 haven been tested already.

With the option of transferring your FM23 Save to 24/Beta, is it possible to already start some tactics testing?

I'm sure to start testing it also requires having some necessary tools such as FMRTE and the official in-game editor.

Yes, that's true. We're waiting for FMRTE to start testing.

Ah no problem, looking forward to it! :)

FMRTE is out so it’s matter of time to have the very first test result!

Here we go again! ;)

Jumping in on this. Do you guys prefer in-game editor or FMRTE?

stefanopt said: Jumping in on this. Do you guys prefer in-game editor or FMRTE?

They both have some useful unique features.

Unforutanlty, the official in-game only drops with the full game release.

So at the moment only FMRTE is available.

@Zippo can we have a finished game save of the testing league?
