IbrahimAliMaher Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Is it just me or every time the opposition gets a man sent off (usually early in the first half when they're 1-0 up) is it guaranteed you won't win? In such a circumstance I usually switch to attacking, get an equaliser just before half time then proceed to pummel said opposition in the second half but finish up 1-1. Even going to overload towards the end doesn't seem to help either, just can't get another bloody goal whatever I seem to do! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krald Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 It's just you, I usually win, like you pushing against them. I've had games though where I've been 1-0 down, had a man sent off, and ended up winning 4-1 with ten men, despite getting annihilated before I had a man sent off, which was kinda amusing and strange, but I just took off a striker and went "overload" so my team threw players forward when we had the ball, meant that my lone striker didn't find himself without support. I've also won with 10-men in a similar circumstance just leaving my two strikers on and losing a winger, and my strikers just played off of each other and got some cheeky goals, got to love pace.

BritishSummerTeam Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I used to struggle with this as well - the opposition always seemed to play far better and it was guaranteed that there'd be pretty much no key highlights after that - the clock would just run down. This was when my default mentality was attacking and a fast tempo. I've slowed my tempo down a lot and play standard mentality now - I've noticed a massive improvement when they go down a man and I switch to attacking and give the shouts 'get ball forward', 'hassle opponents', and 'push higher up'. If that helps - I now batter teams that go down a man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already play quite a slow tempo and switch to attacking once they go down to ten men, but I didn't try the shouts so will give it a go next time it happens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritishSummerTeam Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I used to play: Mentality - Attacking Tempo - Quick (about two thirds on the tempo bar) So when the opposition went down there was little I could do except be ridiculous and go with 'overload' mentality I now play: Mentality - standard Tempo - about half-way so a fair bit slower Now when the opposition lose a man I have more options - I switch to an attacking mentality, and give the shouts 'get ball forward', 'hassle opponents', and 'push higher up'. Consequently I do a lot better, as before the game would just drag on to full time without me being able to create any decent opportunities. Now I beat teams comfortably when they get a man sent off. Hope that clarifies it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
