facesinpatterns Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Just be patient, Im sure you'll be fine Or pick a mid level team in any league and see how you do, if you finish near the predicted or above it, it means your fine but if finish below it, then maybe you need to look at tactics,etc...

TREY BELLS Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 maybe you are better off managing bigger teams or could be the simple fact you dont know much about the teams you manage therefore you know little on the players and their style of play, certain aspects like this can determine success of failure sometimes player stats, ca & pa or anything of that nature aint always enough about a player i generally think fm has made this game more realistic than ever because the attitude of a player to me plays a major role in getting the result or not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmywils Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I have been trying to get to grips with the game since 3rd patch and had mixed results Promoted with Leicester in my first season as champions, 16th in second season in the Championship, third season i resigned with the team in 15th. Tried Paris FC in French Natitonal in my most recent save and i binned it with the team languishing in 19th. 2 wins from 18 games. I think it had something to do with playing a 45 year old Jean Pierre Papin upfront (2 goals in 16). Couldnt bring myself to drop the legend. Never downloaded a tactic but going to give Pirahna a bash, Need a little help and havent got the stomach for T&TF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPlanet Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Welcome to the wonderfully difficult world of FM09 - Play as an easy team first to get a hang of things - Read the manual - Refer to the tactics and training guide and and the forum in general - Feel free to ask specific questions on here rather than a general "I'm losing, help me!" - Practice makes perfect!

briancloughisthebest Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 First of all try keeping a formation and don't change it all the time(don't know if you do this but i'd better check Secondly check the tactics and training forums.

mimland Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 This version I have found very uneven. One day the team perform high above their potential killing of the league giants three days later they play like they never seen a football before. Morale is huge thing and you are at times better off with your reserves and youth players with good morale than with your first team with low morale. This makes it very difficult to gain continued success with a smaller team with limited finances where you only got one decent squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its working a treat for me with Verona in Serie C/1A so its not just for the big boys. Currently 2nd and on a 6 game win streak. Wouldnt have dreamed of doing this a month ago but the game was really getting on my wick and, as i have stated, i dont have the stomach for the T&TF.

I got sacked in my first couple of saves with Premiership clubs - Man Utd and Spurs IIRC. You'll get to grips with the game once you find a tactic that works well with your team. I finally found that 'elusive' tactic and took over Aston Villa.

chob Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 any tactic ive made for FM09 just hasnt won me anything but i did come second a few times with my own tactics so they cant be that bad lol. Because i so wanted to actually win something i decided to head over to Tactics forum and use other peoples tactics and bam i start winning titles lol. whilst i do enjoy winning now, i'd also really like to win with my own tactic aswell so im taking some time to build a decent tactic of my own whilst also enjoying success with other peoples :-) Head over to the tactics forum mate :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
