I think it's just mostly cosmetic rather than slowing us down. Same goes for "step up more" but I'm not removing that yet
If shoot less often works again this year then that is a gamechanger
Introducing the "Brown Box", it is more or less the same as the Brazilian Box but with a few changes. Focus down the flanks has been removed, the wing-backs are now told to stay wide and no longer have "cross less often" and the volantes have "dribble more" and "take more risks". Tested with PSG and Le Havre

The RNG of 1,200 tests 1-3 points.

The RNG of 4,000 tests 0.5-1.5 points.

At least that RNG numbers were true for FM23.

We haven't measured the RNG for FM24 yet. It might be higher or lower.


What does all that above mean?

It means that let's say if you test some tactic for 100,000 matches and you get 60 pts then you can call it "the true score" of this tactic.

But if you test only for 1,200 matches then you can get 57,58,59,60,61,62,63 pts.

So adding "Tackle Harder" PI might don't do anything and this time it just hit the highest RNG for this tactic.


Let a man dream
letsgo9 said: I didnt try it coz @Delicious said it wont work. I thought he tested it. Anyway, I guess we should put everthing on a test then...

Logically it shouldn't work, but it did last year. People kept trying balanced mentality with tackle harder OR attacking mentality without it (aside from the tactic that was top before now)s

Not too sure. The ME will change a fair bit with full release and they could well make the game harder. There's another few bits with this tactic that I think could be changed but I'll wait a little
Added "tackle harder" to tactic made by @letsgo9 and @Delicious. Had a test earlier that had +5 when I just added tackle harder, so I am interested in the result.

Testing tackle harder

Changed IF(S) to IF(A). Numbers not as impressive as they usually are because Mbappe suffered a huge injury. Tested with Le Havre too


Time for a 4-2-3-1, based on numerous tactics at the top of the table. Tested with Bayern and Bochum.

Added BWM and IWB on attack. This scores loads of goals but can't defend.

Changing the mentality to attacking. Other than that it is very similar to the systems by @Blau and @Delicious. Tested with PSG (purely to see some numbers) and Le Havre.

Wow
Chris said: That was a good one. I was thinking on DM-Support and IW instead of IF. ^^

This ME favours IF over IW it seems
Regular 4-2-4. Pretty much the same as "bombyte" from last year but Volantes on support and IF on attack.

Lovely jubbly
Delicious said: Keep in mind that all of this are just 1200 games, we are just checking which shape are working etc.
We really don't know if SI is gonna make again magical changes between beta and full release.


Unless they think this game is too easy, I don't see them changing anything tactically. Last year, the only thing that worked on the Beta was a double pivot, but this year anything works to a degree. I think they'll turn down the injury frequency but that will be it
Added hold position to DM, brought back IWs. Added close down more on CBs

Okay I was definitely wrong about the width then, I've got one more of these shapes testing now with a few different instructions. But I reckon you've cracked this system
Mentality back to balanced, close down more on CBs, tackle harder re-added. City were a little underwhelming at times but KDB had a huge injury. Luton getting better every test, this time with a +9 GD!
