( FM24 ) "Run At Defence" TI vs "Dribble More" PI

by Zippo, Feb 25, 2024

Hey,

It would be logically to assume that "Run At Defence" TI adjusts the "dribbling" settings of the positions in a tactic, forcing them to dribble more. But then what about "Dribble More" PI? Do these two tactical instructions do the same thing? How do they interact with each other?

Let's find out it.



"Run At Defense" TI and "Dribble More" PI





GENERIC BASE TACTIC:
PIs: "Dribble More", "Tackle Harder"


1) Dribble More ( ON ) | Run At Defense ( OFF )
2) Dribble More ( ON ) | Run At Defense ( ON )
3) Dribble More ( OFF ) | Run At Defense ( ON )
4) Dribble More ( OFF ) | Run At Defense ( OFF )





It's obvious that "Run At Defence" TI and "Dribble More" PI do the same job and when all positions in a tactic already have "Dribble More" PI then adding "Run At Defence" TI does nothing.

Also, it's obvious that "Run At Defence" TI doesn't adjust the dribble settings of every position in a tactic, it's hard to tell which positions get it. Highly likely it ignores the positions in the defence line, for example, it ignores Full Backs and Central Defenders and all positions that are illegible for getting "Dribble More" PI.

So if you want to have a full control over the dribble setting of each position in your tactic then you should use "Dribble More"/"Dribble Less" PIs instead of "Run At Defence"/"Dribble Less" TIs because the logic behind the TIs is unknown.

I predict that after this research some people might rush tweaking the top tactics adding "Dribble More" PI to every position in these tactics in hope to see their scores increasing but I can tell you that most likely it won't any effect because almost all the top tactics already have the dribble setting of each position maximized. For example, if look at Katana 4231 104p v3.1 tactic then you'll find out that the Full Backs and Central Defenders have their dribbling setting maximized through out "Dribble More" PI and other positions have their dribble settings maximized through out through out "Run At Defence" TI so at the end all positions in the tactic have their dribble setting maximized.

Once more, if you want to have a full control over dribble settings of each position in your tactic then you should use "Dribble More"/"Dribble Less" PIs instead of "Run At Defence"/"Dribble Less" TIs.

Thanks! That's good one.

I guess, 'Pass Into Space' and 'Take More Risk' also do the same thing?

I hope it also will be tested soon.

I just wonder why SI makes team instructions that duplicate the effect of player instructions, just to make the game even more confusing? :blink:
