Eles Gergo Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I adapt (trying to) my game based on what I see on the pitch. I usually stick to my game plan, as it is made around my best players abilities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roykela Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I never change my usual formation to counter the AI. I stick with the same, no matter what. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackant Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Formations, not much. Tactics within that formation, yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangelis21 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I think this is obvious! whoever doesn't try to adapt to the current AI way of playing, doesn't know how to play Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
speople Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I never change my usual formation to counter the AI.I stick with the same, no matter what. Any change in formation will usually end in tears. Just change tacs/shouts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILAN 4ever Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 i never change my formation, through out the whole season.. i change roles sometimes, tweak the bars, i do the same during the game too and shout out i change the whole formation and tactic every 2-3 seasons then keep going back to the best working one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAULHOLMES Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I always assumed everyone did some version of this... I play 4-4-2 at home, 4-5-1 (usually with a single DM but with 2 against particularly tough opponents) on the road. I have 4 different versions of each, depending on the difficulty of the opponent and/or the state of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I tend to change my starting formation in reaction to the opposition based on their strength: I start with a controlling 4-4-2 in most home games or away games against minnows, a counter-attacking 4-4-2 when away to decent sides and a 4-5-1 when away against the hardest teams. From there, like PAULHOLMES, I'll generally only change my formation if I need more emphasis on attack or defence. For example, I was 2-0 up away at Luton, my closest rivals in the league at that time. They switched to 3-4-3 and within five minutes' game time it was 2-2. Even my defensive 4-4-2 clearly left me too vulnerable so I switched to 4-5-1 to counter their extra striker and exploit the new space wide of their centre backs. They ended up winning 3-2 very luckily in injury time anyway (on the volley from a deep cross ), but if I'd stayed 4-4-2 we probably would have conceded even more.

roykela Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Any change in formation will usually end in tears. Just change tacs/shouts Change of formation is a recipe for self-destruction for me I don't even change my tactics, or use the shouts. I do, however, change my tactics or use the shouts occassionally for experimental reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdozt Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I sometimes change formation especially when I did not perform well against the team before. I actually changed my formation before a match against Inter and it worked quite good. I beat them away and after the match Mourinho praised me for my tactical genius.

Chalky1989 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 No. My formation works. They have to change to counter me, I'm changing nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
