Tejaswi Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 to keep changing formations? I can barely go half a season before I get bored by the kind of football I'm creating. There are only so many ways that a goal can be scored when you're using a particular formation and I get bored very very quickly. This makes sticking to a formation a bit drab.

Brian Shanahan Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Find one that works I've not changed mine much since CM97-98, except for to adjust for the sliders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomheadshot45 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I never change a formation during a season. It's a horrible idea. You need your squad to gel together and get accustomed to the formation. If you continue switching the formations, they never will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earmack Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I have 4 tactics (4-4-2, 4-4-1-1, 5-3-2, 4-3-1-2) I rotate throughout the season, this was something I devised after playing FM08 a lot. I'm pretty much at the point where I change formation every few games because the players are used to all formations and they are all essentially similar in speed of play.

x42bn6 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I only play 2 formations (4-4-2 with AM C and 4-2-3-1 "Denmark") and I only change if something really doesn't feel right. 4-4-2 is my standard formation and works in just about every circumstance - but one or two teams always find some way to counter it, so 4-2-3-1 is what I switch to. It's a totally different tactic but I trust it - 4-2-3-1 is hard enough to mark but it's more defensive. But no, I don't switch formations much. Sometimes I'll switch for rotation purposes but I try not to fix what's not broken. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only so many ways that a goal can be scored when you're using a particular formation and I get bored very very quickly. This makes sticking to a formation a bit drab. I never get bored because I constantly tweak the settings within my tactic. You're bored because you aren't paying attention. Move one player's mentality up or down a couple of notches and you've altered the way the whole team plays. It's endlessly fascinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherlover Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 You guys are all crazy! I change my base tactic vastly every three games on average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I change the tempo, D-Lines, width, counter attack etc, but after half a season, you've seen it all.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
