Rooney said: and how much better than Frost would you say it is? Thanks

Frost isn't so good in this version.

P.S.: I got confused and answered something that had nothing to do.
Ucan said: And how much time left boss? :angel: :D

Three tests to go, with ten runs each, because results were too close and it's hard to say which ones are better, and which ones are actually just statistic noise.
mir1337 said: When you release the 0.3 version ZaZ? It's been 2 days, 4 hours

Still testing some things. I got three variants that gives better results, but the version with instructions combined didn't work well. I'm double testing each of them to see which version is the best. It takes time because each test is made with 1.6k matches (double test is 3.2k), and that means I can only test around two variants per day.
Samscott83 said: Thanks for that. Some of that is good advice. Do you have a link on what is best to do for team talks/Touchline shouts/press conferences etc

Sorry, only what is on the first page of this thread.
Samscott83 said: Apologies if this has been covered but what do you do with Touchline Shouts. Think the tactic is great but sometimes there are games where my team just can't perform despite games before where they have completely dominated. I am presuming this is just a case of sometimes your team can't play well for every game but was wondering what impact touchline instructions have

Check "Bad Results" in the first post.
ArsenalHighbury said: you still using the training schedule from last game? and if so how you finding injurys?

Still the same, and injuries are low.
Tejash said: @ZaZ  do you use assistant manager touchline shouts or leave it empty?

I do the shouts myself.
saycarramrod said: Might be time to look back at the 4 at the back - 2 DM - 2 Wide Mids - 2 SS - 0 Strikers formation as it looks possibly a little broken or at least pretty powerful like it was in 2019?

It is one of the first things I will try.
MakeSuRE said: I've tried several combinations of two man in mid and what I found is that you will be frustrated by the disastrous defensive plays with no DM.

You can also play with two DMs, but then it will lack attacking power.
Metal said: Look forward to it. Is it the same shape as zaz Fire?

Yeah, I am just testing team and player instructions by now. I will start roles and formations after next patch.
Metal said: When do you think you'll have it ready matey?

In one or two days I release 0.3, then will keep testing more things before beta ends.

Chewbacca said: I think testing tactics with Man City should be forbidden :goofy: because Erling Haaland is unrealistically overpowered in FM :D



To be fair, he is unrealistically overpowered in reality too.
YAMAN said: where is the tactic link blue 0.3 ?

Still testing. That 163 goals just a fluke, the average is just around 145 goals a season.
You should see Blue 0.3. =)
Chewbacca said: @ZaZ, have you tried any 4-4-2 in the beta yet? What is your opinion about 4-4-2?

I am currently testing team and player instructions, and only after that I will test roles and formations.
pixar said: I'm using the old training system. But I have a question. Normally, defense training is done in the evenings according to your schedule, but if the next day is match day, the game analyzes the opponent. Do you manually fix this as a defense or leave it that way?

I just leave match preview because I think it's bothersome to change, but you can change it if you want.
Falbravv said: As always, Zaz work is great.

It's the start of my long save game with Rennes, beautiful start.


Thanks for testing, and gratz for the results!
Exellent said: Hi ZaZ, what do you think about the tactics with three defenders?

I have a few different formations in a queue to test, but not tested yet.
TomSteg94 said: Using Fire 0.2, won the PL and Europa League with Arsenal. No 1st team signings and plenty of injuries. Switched off 'get stuck in' PI as soon as a player gets a yellow. Great tactic.

Thank you for testing!
Nebuuuu said: So, as always, playing with Hertha BSC (Bundesliga) and first 11 league matches + cup are played.
So far, so pretty good.
Sure, the defensive feels a little bit loose but its also because of the kinda low defenders/players.
7 wins/2 draws/2 losses.
My striker Kanga, 12 matches, 14 goals, best scorer in league so far.
Here some screenshots from Blue 4.0, later changed to Fire 0.2.

Thanks ZaZ, wish you all a great weekend after tomorrows workday. :thup:


Thank you for testing, and have a nice weekend!
jk said: Hey @ZaZ !

Do you use the exact same training for your reserves and youngsters as your first team? I'm mostly curious if you have the same settings for the (Rest) training?


Same training, same rest settings, and also remember to fix coach assignments. Even if you don't want to run youth teams, it is a good idea to pick the selection to youth team, so you can put the right players to have more match time.
