I did a final change to Blue 2.0, setting passing directness to neutral (I left the direct passing to Phoenix, since they are already too similar). with Blue 2.0 and Red 2.0, I will only try to make new tactics or improvements in the next patch. Please, test and tell me what you think.

Not really, but I would only put Shoot More Often if I had a good shooter. Did it work well for you?
ta2199 said: nevermind, It's just something weird happened during my Bayer04 save. I try again with Lazio and It lookin fine

Probably some players with bad hidden stats, like Dirtness, or just bad luck. Thank you for trying to help, anyway.
Red 2.0 was added, being not just an improvement, but a change in identity to make it behave different from Blue during the match.
ta2199 said: I know but I have " Red Cards Issue " with v2.0. I mean a lots of red cards

Is it happening on the shadow strikers or other positions? With me, I usually get between one to two red cards a season, which isn't unexpected for any tactic.
ta2199 said: I suggested remove tackle hard in both AMC and instead add mark tigher

Thank you for the suggestion. Too bad it's too small of a change to show much difference on my tests. They won't test it here either since it would be almost the same, so I will never know if it's better or not.
DB8 said: Hello Zealot and all the other guys. I want to ask you somethung about this great tactic...

What can we do about the general training and individual training? Do we let the assistant manager to take care of them or do we do somethig else?


I like to train Match Practice twice a week, as well as Teamwork, Defensive Shape and Attacking Movement before every match. If I only have one match in the week, I also add one Physical. Before important matches, I set one session for Set Piece Delivery and if possible, Attacking Corners and Attacking Free Kick. The rest is flexible, but I like to set Recovery after every match for injury prevention and Team Bonding for squad happiness.
I just uploaded Blue 2.0, on the first post.
This is another "just for fun" tactic, trying to explore absurd possibilities. It is named Seraph because it has six wings. Not only it won the Premier League in holiday mode, but also the Champions League.

OpticFawn said: @ta2199 So which one do you prefer?

Blue or Phoenix?

and what version on phoenix do you use or which one gave you the best results?

thx


The top three tactics are equally good, that's why they are all grade 7.0. The difference between them might very well be statistical noise, since none of them was better in all three tests than the other two tactics. Maybe with a couple more tests, the order would even change.
@healmuth, when you have spare time, can you test team instructions work ball into box vs. Hit early crosses vs. None? They are giving me very similar results, which makes me wonder if they make any difference at all. Actually, I am getting slightly better with early crosses, scoring more goals. (I am testing on blue strategy, without any other changes)
Screenshot of tactics and results are required.
Nice to see some 3 defender tactics. I hope it goes well!
I hope this performs well. I also started using Roll It Out because my goalkeeper conceded a couple of goals kicking in the back of opponent and hitting it's own target (with extremely weak team).

It was nothing special in the test, but enough to beat all tactics that use real forwards.
healmuth said: apparently you and me have accomplished mind-melt :p

I am pretty satisfied with what I accomplished this patch. Blue is one of the top tactics while Phoenix is a tweak of Red. In the end, I feel like I contributed somehow, but the greatest contribution this patch was @Cyborg with his strikerless Doom. I feel like he deserves more recognition.
Not sure if you people know, but I can't register or use most of the site content on Edge, even without Ad-blocker. I assume it is because of the Ad-blocker that is built-in, but I am not sure if more people experience the same issue. I use the phone to post here since Edge doesn't work.
I know I said I gave up on this patch, but I have decided to try some crazy ideas just for fun. This one is a true strikerless. Probably sucks, but someone has to try it anyway.



Funny enough, it won the league in holiday mode without a single loss.

healmuth said: I believe I finally might have something even better - but some testing still needs to be done before releasing it

Anything new or just small tweaks?
The results are worse than expected, despite looking better in my tests and healmuth's. Good thing I have decided to only try new tactics next patch, because it really seems like the best tactic right now is tied to that play style from the three first positions in the table. I really wanted to see different variations that could be used depending on player abilities, but I have no clue what to try anymore. I hope next patch allows some variations with similar results.
