Had some really good fun with this with schalke, starting in bundesliga 2. First season we promoted as winner and 2nd season we won the bundesliga !
Sure Bayern had a completely off season probably partly due to the world cup, but even with them in top form this would have been a 1st or 2nd place finish.
Only used one BPD without tackle harder due to him being a red card machine otherwise ( he still got 3 despite to ease off tackles, he is prio 1 to replace next season.. )
@Eric thanks for testing, will do a tottenham test myself later to test it. Holy cow Harry Kane scoring 70 goals there.... Im tweaking stuff to make Jesus work but it just doesnt. If I go SS with Silva as SS its much better :s
@Poacher Arsenal seems to have fast players upfront, more evenso than Man C. Quality at the back seems lacking though
Been testing around a lot last few days, this is my best try so far trying to create a defensively solid tactic while also having some offense.
Have to say that each year either LFC or Man U can have ridiculous seasons as well seen in screenshots below. Played with both Norwich and Man City at the same time
ZaZ said: There is no right answer for that question. Each testing platform has a different methodology and all of them are valid. If you want to test it without going on holiday, you can just play a normal season with the tactic, managing the team, and see how it performs compared to other tactics you have tested before. Expand
yes ofc but you stated you do 10 tests or so per day so I was wondering how you doing that atm ?
Markizio said: Consistency determines how often a player plays at his full ability.
20 Consistency means that a player plays 20 matches of 25 matches at his full ability and 5 matches of 25 matches he plays at a reduced ability which is his CA - Random ( 1CA - 25CA ) )
5 Consistency means that a player plays only 5 matches of 25 matches at his full ability and 20 matches of 25 matches he plays at a reduced ability which is his CA - Random ( 1CA - 25CA ) ) Expand
Okay thanks I didnt know that math behind it ( you have a source anywhere on that ?) Regardless, Ive read many times that consistency does NOT affect physical stats.
These tests indicate however that physical stats have WAY more influence than any mental / technical attribute which are not affected by it, therefore reducing its effectiveness.
Following the tests, would you rather have an 18 acc/pac with 9 consistency vs 15/15 with 14 consistency ?
given the sheer power of physical attributes ( pace / acc / agi ) and morale which are all unaffected by consistency, have people changed their view regarding this hidden stat ?
Due to winning prizes in the last 2 seasons my reputation has shot up massively.
What I notice now is that AI managers start using counter attack play , especially when they are ahead. What is your recommended action against this ? Start more cautious or more attacking ? For reference , my squad isn’t quite there yet in terms of CA with a mix of 120-160 players but none above.
@ZaZ I see your training schedule, its pretty brutal on the physical department. Have you actually seen good increase in pace / endurance over the course of time with it ? Also how do you set intensity with it, normally when they are 90%+ I set to double intensity, using the training schedule of pre season got me a nice few injuries, just wondering if this is random bad luck me or should I lower the intensity to normal when above 90% ?

I find it hard to draw conclusions on creating a tactic and just do one big holiday.

Got promoted from championsship with my own tactic which was the same with roles just different approach ( slower tempo, tika taka style ).
Switched to the real deal hoping to stay up, got a little more than that I can say !
Just WOW.
