at least it's good to know that someone said something...

Metal said: but then he said he made the tactic before with warrior years ago

ok, show me that tactic he created years ago... I want to see it.
Oblong999 said: Knap does indeed produce a myriad of tactics so it is quite likely anything you make will resemble something he has posted. He also takes inspiration from this site - I noticed he began to post strikerless tactics after the success first shown on here in FM21 and his most recent team and player instructions have begun to more closely mimic those first seen on tactics posted here, with his own spin on the roles and duties. This isn't an attack on Knap at all by the way, I'm glad he does what he does, he's created a multitude of brilliant tactics which have helped loads of people to enjoy the FM series over the years, including myself.

That's what I was talking about.

Knap posted the exact copy of ZaZ's Blue tactic after ZaZ released but no one said a word...
Jeffdekker said: Name 1 tactic where this has happened?

I know for a fact if Knap actually copies a tactic, he gives credit to the author, so show me proof where he didn't.


I'll do it if you pay for my spent time on it :D

It would required digging into my archive, I remember a lot of such cases.

For example, you could take ZaZ Blue 4.0 and find out that Knap posted the exact same tactic after ZaZ did it and he didn't give credit.
Jeffdekker said: I don't care if you make tactics good or not, but the moment you take like 99% of 1 tactic, change literally 1 thing alone and claiming to be yours, is something that is not done in my book.

I've seen many times Knap taking successful tactics from here or other places then making few tweaks( even sometimes almost an exact copy) and not giving any credits... but of course, Knap is allowed to do so?
ZaZ said: - Changing set pieces should count as one change, no matter how many set pieces you changed.

but what if someone comes with a corner or throw-ins exploit that boost the result by 30% or more? :)
82 pts with Crystal Palace is a very good result, gratz. :thup:

TEST #13
[ Age = 28 / Professionalism = 15 / Ambition = 15 / Potential Ability = 170 ]

Players in "Group_1" gain +1.2 "CA" at the end the season.

Players in "Group_2" gain +0.1 "CA" at the end the season.

Notice: in this test the "Age" was increased from "21" to "28" and as you can see it made a huge a difference compared with "Test #8" ( all other parameters were the same except the Age ). The CA gain decreased from "+8.4" to "+1.2".

-------------------------------------------------------------------


Honestly, it's kinda shocking to see how drastically the development decreases when players reach the age of 28.

For such players it requires at least about 2-3 seasons just to increase Acceleration or Pace by 1 point without decreasing other attributes. :shock:
@Delicious, hey.

Just a quick question

On your screenshot I see it says "Offensive" mentality... Would it be "Attacking" in English?

Thanks.
ZaZ said: It might be just because I consider most players with ability close to 150 as world class players, and since his team is mostly on that range, I think he might be able to win the league. However, it's like you said, it's still the difference between a top team from Premier League and a bottom team, so the normal should be not winning.

It's really impossible to give any correct prediction only by looking at the quality of the players in your team and in order to give more or less correct prediction you should always take into consideration the quality of your opponents.

For example, you might have 160CA players in your team but if you play in a league where all your opponents have 180CA players then your team will be the weakest team in the league and finishing somewhere at the middle of the table with such team team should be considered as a very good result even using the best tactics.

But if you put your 160CA team into a league that consists of 140CA teams then you should expect to greatly dominate this league and it should be very easy to get the 1st place even using an very average tactic.

A 20CA difference is a very significant difference in FM and most of time it's the difference between the strongest and weakest teams in leagues.
ZaZ said: The difference of 10-20 points in CA isn't very high, so you should have a good chance to win if you manage your squad properly.

A 20 points difference in CA is a huge difference in FM.

There's about a 20 points difference between Manchester Utd and Norwich but we all know how easy it's to win EPL with Manchester Utd and how hard it's to do that with Norwich.

Here's the CA of the default Manchester Utd team:


and here's the CA of the default Norwich team:
can you post screenshots of the tactic and any result with it?

ZaZ said: For anyone curious, there is an Easter egg in FM22. If you manage to get a team with all players being model citizens, the team gets renamed to "Boy Scouts".

DoubleR said: What about the green 5.0 tactic you posted??

I don't see any difference between ZaZ - Green 5.0 and Positive Tiki Taka - CMs ( Attack ) :)
CM93 said: Here you go

Thanks, but you'd better add the screenshot of the tactic to the 1st post.
@CM93, can you add screenshots of the tactic?
@AntonBurly, you should add a picture of the tactic.
Mark said: It looks like SI have just released the new match engine for FM22

It's the same as before so no changes for the M.E.

The 22.3.0 patch and the 22.4.0 patch have the same m.e.22.4.0.
fabiosilva said: What are the changes in v4? I cant download as I'm playing on console

it's only the set pieces
ZaZ said: The 21.3 last year was released in the last day of February or first day of March, something like that.

Yeah... that was the final part of the Winter Transfer Update patch that had only transfers update from the leagues that have non-standard transfer windows but the 1st part of the Winter Patch that had M.E. changes was released on 22nd February.
