Mongoose Rejuvenated with Celta Vigo, predicted 10th, finished 2nd. Have to be honest though, La Liga is a strange old league this year, seems like all the big guns are underperforming (points wise)

thanks for testing. Chuffed with that

No comment

Seeing as it looks like positive mentality is becoming strong again, I've tweaked Mongoose from FM21. As always, holiday tested with AM in charge of general training and team selection. NO EDITORS USED

Main tweaks -

IWB to attacking duty
DLP to DM
Removed work ball into box

smaller tweaks are more around PIs



Villa finished 3rd


PSG won everything, look at those player ratings

ZaZ said: Well, everyone has a different way to show results here. Some people post holiday tests, some people test with lower leagues, some people test with a godly team in 2026 while others just play normaly and show how their season is going. Maybe he used saves to backtrack in case of bad luck, or maybe he just saves a lot since he says he doesn't have much time. I don't see all this witch hunt in other posts with deceiving results, it's borderline bullying. Expand

I haven't seen any other posts with deceiving results? Borderline bullying?? how, by asking him why he saved his game excessively, how is that borderline bullying! come off it

Tsubasa said: I complete agree with that but if you think about it, there's no way to be 100% certain whether someone cheated or not even he had saved the game 1000 times and it shows that he used the in-game editor, but when you see that the result posted by the author is drastically different from fm-arena rating then it gives serious reason to doubt. Anyway, everyone is free to make their own opinion about it. Expand

Yeah I agree, there is no way of knowing whether or not he did. As you said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I'm just sharing my thoughts on the matter

I get your points but I'm sorry I don't agree with the only thing that counts is the score from the test. If he had stated in the OP that he had used the editor then fair enough but he didn't and in a way to me that is a way of trying to con us that the tactic is better than what it actually is. All I was asking is why he had saved the game an excessive number of times and he became defensive and abusive. I was actually trying to help him by asking him about the excessive saving as people were showing that he had potentially cheated.

One thing I don't like is people misleading others, whether you see it as wrong or right or the fact that the only thing that is relevant is the test results. We should be honest about our own testing

AM version doesnt seem as strong as the CM version

CM version is really impressive

MakeSuRE said: No more conversation with a cheater like me plz. As long as I finished my whole shaming season, I will put my ugly screentshots onto this thread and maybe at that time more people would stand by u and shout ' WHY YOU SAVED SO MANY TIMES'.

I swipe out something I would like to say/complain/argue, cos I find out what I am doing is just what u did to me. Frankly speaking, I have no obligation or right to bend ur will, nor do u. So I apologize for my offence and leave u free to dig the truth of this 79-times-game-saving case.

Sincere thanks to everyone who downloaded, used, and leaved comments, and I would never reply to any posts about the game saving times or sth else about CHEATING.

Human beings only believe in what they want to see. Expand

I think there are already a number of people who are thinking the same as me, you've saved the game 79 times, someone has called you out on potentially "cheating". My questioning is trying to help you ascertain that you're not, so if you would explain why you've saved 79 times for 50 games then I'm sure it would go somewhere to easing peoples opinions. But you haven't done that, you've become very defensive and abusive which to be honest in my opinion makes it look like you are cheating

You're missing the point, you say you save after every game. You played 50 games and saves 79 times, all I'm asking is why you saved so many times? Very defensive and if anyone is being aggressive, it's you with the swearing

Really excessive saving the game 79 times when you've probably during that period played approx 50 - 55 games and I don't understand your point about the tactic being made in China

MakeSuRE said: As I explained，I played about 50 matches and I would click the save button every time when a match is done. My explanation of doing so is that my game time is pieced when I am in my office, in a coffeehouse or at home, with so many things flooding to me even makes a single match’s period lasting from morning to midnight. For now, I dont even know the meaning of trying to prove that I’m not a cheater. Why the **** I have to waste my bedtime trying to make my 79-times-own-game-save to be legal. Try this cheater-made garbage first and show the cheater author how bad the tactic is.
BTW, this tactic is MADE IN CHINA and gentleman you should say ‘ to be fair it has a point’. Expand

So you played 79 games in that period?

to be fair he has a point, why are you saving the game 79 times?? that makes no sense regardless of how many games you've played. 79 times is excessive

Lovely stuff, it might be worth going forward sticking them screenshots in your opening post mate. It looked like you were submitting a tactic that played 5 league games

where are the 2 rounds of of test database results or are you referring to other tactics tested?

have you done a full season test? looks like you've played 5 league games on your screenshots

ZaZ said: In my "defense", that was the first week after release, so I tried very different tactics to see what direction was good. For example, Cyan has low tempo, purple has three wingers in each side, orange is all out attack, blue is balanced, and so on. Each of them has their own traits.

I don't think anyone minds people spamming tactics, they just don't want people to spam very similar tweaks of the same tactic, as if the author is trying to use a brute force algorithm. Expand

No defense is needed as I'm not saying your spamming tactics, The author of the this thread is pretty much saying all other tacticians throw out a load of tactics in the hope one works. I think that is very unfair on other tacticians and I was merely pointing out to the author that you've produced a lot of tactics too
