saycarramrod said: @Mark@ZaZ I know you guys have a lot of experience using Genie Scout and modifying the ratings files on it - a quick question: if hypothetically I wanted to modify the ykykyk balanced or ZaZ ratings file to more heavily rate Pace and Acceleration (or any of the other ~7 or so attributes with most impact) is it as simple as just changing them to 100 in the ratings file in each individual position or is there some greater math behind them that other attribute ratings would need to be lowered for them to be increased? Expand
If you are doing the same for each position it means that players will be rated very similar for each position making it hard to pick. If you alter them slightly you might need to adjust the overall position applied for each position (balancing)
I did a quick test, first 2 games were with strikers 20 finishing, defenders 20 jumping reach everyone else were set to 1 on all attributes except 20 pace and 20 acc. Did not go well. third and fourth game I added 20 anticipation, 20 concentration and 20 work rate, removing 20 finishing and 20 jumping. fifth I added 20 stamina and 20 strenght sixth, 20 agility and 20 balance.
Then last 3 games I put all attributes to 10 except 20 on anticipation, concentration work rate, acceleration and pace. As you can see with mid attributes and peak on these 5 you can beat city away. Recommended CA for this configuration was about 123
Just beat Rennes 5-0 with all attributes set on 10 and pace and acc on 20. Expand
Hi @Zippo. This tactic was in the Hall of Fame prior to the new (N) testing but it hasn't been tested under (N). There are no tactics with this formation in the current test table. Is there any chance it could be retested. Thanks
Zeyad said: @Middleweight165 It depends on what level you are recruiting for. For a top side in a top 5 league? It's probably not good enough. Otherwise it depends.
In general I also don't like looking at an attribute for a player in isolation when deciding whether he is good enough or not. For example if he is 11 JR but maybe pacy with good anticipation then he's definitely worth it Expand
I have successfully used just very tall CBs for lower league comps but not sure it would work for serious leagues. Higher leagues I would definitely used a good GS rating file like ykykyk balanced
dzek said: You have to take into consideration that those GS ratings are for FM22 and created for Blue 3.0 in mind. So i think you have to choose somehow the same tactic setup in FM23 to work 100%. Anyway some attributes like Acceleration, Pace etc for all the positions are important for every FM game so i will recommend change some attribute weights inside Genie Scout accordingly to your player/tactic needs. @Mark can answer more accurate on this. Expand
My testing indicates they still work, but I have gone back to my ratings. There isn't much between them
This tactic is based on the 4213 Luskin Star tactic with the AM moved back to DM HB and the central ST moved back to a CM Attack. The original Luskin Star tactic was based on the Extreme Diamond Undervolt tactic by @Delicious.
I tested again with Bournemouth and Kettering. Bournemouth finished 4th and Kettering topped their league.
02Kyrand said: Terrible at making tactics myself, don't have the patient. Been waiting for one that works really well with new patch and that's a real tactic (too many weird ones).
My only gripe is the very unrealistic corner routine, which obviously is a huge exploit. How will the tactic work if I remove the routine? Is corner goals what makes this tactic?
Or are there similar good tactics like this, but withough corner exploit? Expand
You can always just take a default tactic like 4-2-3-1 Tiki Taka or Gegenpress with default set pieces. It will work well enough and it sound like that's what you are after. No exploits. Standard tactic and then just reliant on your managerial ability with the squad. There are many ways to play this game.
Chriswin4 said: So, after the season here's a brief update on what I found:
Geiles: 43 app 36 goals Lee: 43 app 13 goals Yildirim: 38 app 14 goals - Sold to Bayer Leverkusen for £90m at the end of the season. Manfredini: 15 app 0 goals - Sold to Chelsea for £62m at the end of the season. Expand
I think you need to provide ratings and assists as well
Chriswin4 said: Wonder how I got the wrong number, I'm using him as a base, the best striker on the game who I am competing with, to evaluate players I can get. Expand
I have put the formulas instead of the results in the fields that matter. I hope this helps
Chriswin4 said: Thank you, awesome. From reading another translation, I'm guessing I add all the attributes of a player and then times it by 123 to get the tactical real CA? Expand
I read it as, and calculated it by first summing the total of the attribute weight x attribute value. Then dividing that by the total of the attribute weights giving the attribute weighted average. Then multiply by 20 and subtract 121.
Chriswin4 said: That is quite hard, is there a link to the chinese and I'll try and run it through deepl translate. I'm thinking the tactical real CA is the number which best evaluates a player Expand

Yes I would

Here are my tests. About to test the preset good tactics against the leading tactics
I started testing preset tactics 3 days ago and watch with interest how these tests go
See post #15 on page 1 for taking a backup of the original ratings, and the ratings file is in the Original Post #1 on page 1
My testing indicates they still work, but I have gone back to my ratings. There isn't much between them
I have moved the central ST to a ST PF and the DM to a HB.
It seemed to work well for me.
I tested it on holiday using Bournemouth and Kettering to give a mix of top league and lower league.
I tested again with Bournemouth and Kettering. Bournemouth finished 4th and Kettering topped their league.
Have a look at Max on the Evidence Based Football Manager on Youtube. He covers all this off
