Pea Tear Griffin Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 You're losing, it's the last ten minutes, and you set your attack level to all out attack-you expect the next ten minutes of key highlights to feature your strikers bombarding the opposition goal, and hopefully scoring. But the following two things usually happen. 1. The key highlights seem to feature the opposition team attacking 95% of the time 2. There are no key highlights whatsoever, and it whizzes from 80 to 90 minutes in no time flat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gers_fan Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I know how exactly how u feel. It does my head in! You expect by going more attackin lets say 4-2-4 you should be at least creating an chance but oh no not on fm 08. I would like someones advise on how to change this please.

The Lambs Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Best advice i can give you is to watch the match, even if you only watch the extended highlights. You need to understand why you are not attacking with the ball to generate any "key" highlights. My initial suggestion would be to also increase your closing down to "all over the pitch". I have seen several instances where the opposition gets ahead and goes ultra defensive, they then happily knock the ball around in their half for long periods. unless I increase my closing down, my players don't press them and allow the opposition to run the clock down. You should also look at the tempo and passing style when you increase the mentality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Tear Griffin Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 I put the tempo to quick, and the passing style to long ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJGB Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 What's worse is when you are one down, 10 minutes left, you go all out attack....And then the opposition scores Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Tear Griffin Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 That happened to me...what's worse the goal was clearly offside. I complained and got a touchline ban. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
backpackant Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I go 3-4-3 long passing, all out attack. Probably works 75% of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chosen One Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 While you go all out attacking, the opposition will do the opposite - ultra defense. So, really you can not expect to dominate the game. The best thing is to attack earlier. I change to attacking at 70th minute and my midfielders and strikers have high closing down. It helps a lot.

CSF90 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Does my head in when you're winning and for the last ten minutes, set your team to defensive, long ball, closing down etc. And the opposition score EDIT: Also, liking the new forums. Yay for editing. Boo for ridiculous status criteria, still (e.g. every 1000 posts). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
