CBP87 said: Thanks, that tacic is quality pal and looking at your previous screenshot, you're creating chances. It could just be a case of not having the right players. Have you tried loweing the tempo? Expand

it looks like the tides are turning and im starting to win some games.. yea, i'll try to lower the tempo if this happens again..

what about work the ball into the box? you think it would reduce the amount of unnecessary shots?

CBP87 said: Can you share your tactic please? See I always try and drop the "Technical" aspects of a tactic when playing in lower league purely based on the fact that I don't believe the players are good enough to play a certain instruction, for example, step up more or very high defensive line or play ball into box etc... I just try and keep it as simple as possible Expand


It's this one

CBP87 said: How are you conceding the goals? Set pieces? Expand

usually they are open plays.. on this game specifically 1st one was a counter attack and second goal came from a throw in

My team avg in genie scout:


My opponent team:

This is the type of shit im dealing with...


as you can see, im the better team, but yet not able to capitalize

Question is on the subject: on those dificult games that your team is on the upper side, smashing the opponent but cant score a goal, what instructions do you change to force that goal?

I'm playing with a 6-tier portuguese team, managed to got promoted twice (4th tier now) and although my team is better than the rest of the teams and im using the top tactic of this forum, im not able to win games even thou statistically im winning everything (shots on target, xG, possession, etc..).

I know that a lot of you will say: "Buy better players", but im on a tight budget and accordingly to Genie Scout with the latest modified ratings, i already have a higher average rating than any other team in my division

dude, you can literally go to the best tactics in the tables section and choose whatever formation you like the best

Germaniac said: The only thing I can find is this one, but it's from FM23 and only tests one configuration of OIs. Expand

pretty sure it applies to FM24, since its the same engine

I might be wrong here, but i think i read it once in this forum that tests were conducted and opposition instructions dont do anything. It's all about the tactic

he just wants one of your tactic to be tested xD

NeptriusS said: Hello, in what mentality does this tactic play please? Expand

It's literally written in the first screenshot...

Obviously im not the expert here, im sure plenty of guys will come up with a right answer, but as far as my experience goes, the AI wants to buy players with great reputation, which comes from form/exhibitions, therefore it doesnt matter their attributes.

is this your first transfer window? if so, when you created the save, did you enable transfers on first window?

Since the meta attributes is pretty much the same as in last FM, i think ykykyk works just fine in this new FM, no need to use any other GS ratings so far.

@Blau is spitting facts!! This is easy: In the end of the day this is a game that will always have meta gameplay and/or glitches/bugs.

If we are constantly looking up on the internet for FM Arena and forums like that what attributes matter the most, and what tactics are broken, etc etc etc, then obviously we will crack the game in no time and the excitement of the game will die fast.

it might be just coincidence, but my first game ever in europa league against Dinamo Tiblisi with Ostersunds FK (Sweden 2nd league team) with 11 players fresh in fatigue and i'm winning 7-0 (finished the game 8-0)..

I think you really have a point here with the fatigue topic @ZaZ

MeanOnSunday said: It’s loading the db from the game that’s slow; it takes a couple of minutes for something that should take 1-2 seconds.  Otherwise you can easily make your own ratings for GS to match any particular python script. Expand

Personally, i dont think that makes much difference.. i regularly load GS after a couple of in-game days, so ratings dont change that much.

Amazing job @ZaZ ! Thank you for this

Super3 said: Do you change mentality depending on away game or tougher/easier game or do you always keep it balanced? Expand

I also have this doubt: what should we do (tactic wise) if we are winning vs a superior team? and what if we are losing against a worst team?

olimorris said: I find the GS workflow to be really slow. Loading the DB takes ages. If I wish to change the ratings I have to go into so many different windows + tabs and I have to remember to apply them each time I load the tool up .

I can't speak for other projects but I plan on including a MoneyBall element soon and combining that with the machine learning ratings. Expand

Ok, makes sense.. I dont mess up with the ykykykyk ratings, so i just leave them unchanged. In this case i find GS really smooth and quick.
