ScobieB Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 try slowing down the tempo and shortening the passing. Its worked for me in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil ole me Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I hate being 2-0 up at half time as most times when this happens i mostly still end up winning but i am no where near as dominant as i was in the first half. I think something has changed from FM 08 team talks as i had them worked out no matter what score i was at. The only thing i can think of is that the AI give their team a real roasting at half time and they come out and grab that quick goal (within 15mins) of restart and changes the game completely. No matter what tactic i use they usually penetrate my defence somehow. So being 1-0 up is better for me as i normally go on to win by 2 or 3 comfortably.

phnompenhandy Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 That will be a tactical question - there is a tactics forum for this kind of advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kashmirshazad Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 normally i just waste loads of time, and do short passing, and perhaps bring on an extra dm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainPlanet Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Try asking in the Tactics Forum Personally, I give a "pleased" team talk, then attack for 20 minutes, make a couple of defensive subs then up the time wasting, lower the tempo and play counter-attack.

FM BEAR Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Anybody tell me how i could kill the game off after going 2-0 or 3-0 up? i've lost count of how many times i've been leading 2-0 and end up losing 3-2, very VERY frustrating IRL, if a team goes in 2 down at halftime the manager will more than likely give them a rollicking and make a couple of tactical alterations. You need to keep an eye on this and adapt your system and style to deal with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kashmirshazad Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 yeah the AI do come out all guns firing if they are 1-0 down especially if theyre at home, so you need to a) either have a good pasing team, or b) play direct and have loads of tall and pacy players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
postal postie Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Anybody tell me how i could kill the game off after going 2-0 or 3-0 up? i've lost count of how many times i've been leading 2-0 and end up losing 3-2, very VERY frustrating if i'm up 2-0 by about 60minutes i'll take a striker off and put a DM on. switching from a 442 to a 4141 formation. i might even stop my wingers from making alot of forward runs as well.

Stephanie McMahon's Secret Lover Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Why is it that when 2-0 down the AI seems to ALWAYS make the CORRECT decision??? In other words shouldn't the AI get it WRONG a lot more times than when it actually does? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPlanet Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I've been 2-0 up at halftime and finished everywhere from 2-5 to 11-0, so I wouldn't say they ALWAYS make the right decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackant Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 If you mean in the last 10-15mins: 1. pause the game. 2. tweak your tactic. I use the default 4-5-1 defensive, then tweak the pace to "slow", stop using a target man, time waste often and tick "counter attack". Also look at opposition instructions, especially when they go 4-2-4, and follow your ass-man's advice (if he's any good of course). If you mean at half-time: Can't help. Depends on who you are playing against and who your team is. If I've played attacking in the first half I'll play normal second at a slow pace, short-passing, counter-attack ticked. Usually. But like I said, it all depends on too many things. Weather is also a big influence - slow paced, short passing at half time will be worse than doing nothing in the wet.

DAK Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 if i go 2, 3: nil up and they start to pick up the pace i usally change to a 4-5-1 r 4-1-4-1 and be a bit more defensive and slower tempo. then when they go 4-2-4 i put 5 at back 5-4-1 has'nt failed me yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
