Keyzer Soze Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi, I was browsing in the web, and i found this post about match preparation! http://www.truefootballmanager.com/2011/01/how-to-use-match-preparation-in-fm-2011.html Untill now, my only concern about the match preparation was getting the familiarity levels bars to fluid. As i get those levels i didn't look to match preparation again. But this post above, makes real sence to me, and it's the first logical explanation i read about match preparation. What do you think?

Football Manager. Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 yeah i agree without realising it i came to this conculsion aswell since i started my last save ive had high workload team blend the whole time and ive won... ( bare in mind i am manchester city ) 3 league titles 2 champions league titles 2 league cups fa cup 2 community shields 2 european super cups 2 world club championshipd and 3 manager of the year awards. now that may seem completly irrelivent but when i did this save before i changed my preperation to att movement and left it there and it didnt help i then kept changing it and nothing ever happend ! to add to that i always had in ass mans feedback. player x is finding it difficult to gel with new teammates or something along those lines cant remember the EXACT wording. after 1 season i havent had that once despite major overhaul in all squads nearly every summer. if your currently a top team try it and just leave it high with team blend and see if your results are more consistant like mine were/ are !

Koki Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Very interesting.. But I wonder how does the author know what the SFA's do? How can he know that a higher workload doesn't have a better effect? And then why does he advise to leave it on 'normal' when a higher workload doesn't have a better effect?

Duro Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Nice Keyzer Soze! Thank you for the tip!

Gooner32 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Didn't know that about the special focus areas, thanks mate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Does anyone know what the assistant is likely to do if you leave him in charge of this? Would he switch it for each game, keeping it on team blend in between? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Dog Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 The assistant actually conforms to the theory formulated in the link above - if you switch between him taking control and you doing it manually, you can see where he left it - he adjusts the focus, in my experience, according to the opposition - the only thing he doesn't do, is switch back to team blend in between, it gets left on the setting for the previous match.

kingjericho Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Good article. BTW this is all in the Tactics & Training section, in various threads. It might be intersting to go there for some more detailed explanations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can he know that a higher workload doesn't have a better effect? And then why does he advise to leave it on 'normal' when a higher workload doesn't have a better effect? I believe he recomend the "normal" level because the higher the level the less your players will train in there individual schedules. I think that with a "normal" level in the match preparation you get 70% for individual training, while with "high" level you will only have 50% for individual training.

thebigman1985 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 cool, i had mine on defensive the whole time, i shall use this method in patch 3! thanks homeslice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dking Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 that article tells me absolutely nothing that I didn't already know/hadn't already figured out... waste of my time, thanks You just wasted even more of your time by posting complete drivel. On topic - Very informative, thanks op. So let me get this straight, just before a match I should change my SFA to attacking movement and after finishing the match and continuing, it should be back on team blend?

Keyzer Soze Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 That is the theory posted in that link. You should always have the SFA in team blend, and before a match change it to one of the others 4 (depending on your opponent). After the match return to "team blend" a leave it there until the next match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article states that the match preparation intensity doesn't make a difference effect-wise, so my question was why not leave it on 'very low'?

sovstar Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Pretty sure that I read something from a more definitive source that said Match Preparation is only useful on match days. In effect, switching things around between match days is nothing but a waste of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyzer Soze Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 This Match Preparation, at least for me, is still a little "pandora box" We know that with a higher work load the tactic familiarity levels reach the fluid level quicker. But apart from that, all the others itens are still very secret. Changing the SFA will benefit your team... but how much? It would be nice that like in the tactic familiarity levels, we also have some kind of evaluation bars (or whatever) to see how the SFA works in our team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dking Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 So who has tested these theories and actually noticed any difference? After 5 games of putting the SFA on defensive positioning, my team seem to have played worse in attack without any improvement what so ever in defence, if anything they got worse. I know it isn't many games but I didn't see any where that it says you need time for it to take effect, although, a lot of other things could be taken into effect like my team could just be having a dip in form as the squad is a little thin. It's all so incredibly vague. Correct me if I'm wrong but surely SI would/should have released some sort of instructions on how to use, on what looks like, a very important new feature. Makes me wonder if they even know how some new features work themselves and it then ends up being left to the community to figure out the fine details.
