LutonNil Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Does anyone have the playmaker option ticked but choose no-one in the lists of playmakers so the AssMan/AI chooses for you? Seems the best option to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eles Gergo Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 never tryied this i have a question you thick in the use playmaker button then you don't select a player as playmaker and when a ame comes the assman selects the best suited player from your starting 11 and they end up to be the best choice?

Amaroq Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 No, you aren't guaranteed to see the "best choice" when you leave it empty. Its just like the "Penalty Taker" - in a recent match, I hadn't set my Penalty Takers, and to my horror a crucial 81st-minute penalty-to-equalize was given not to either of my on-form strikers or to my lethal-from-the-spot midfielder, but to my left winger. He hit it straight to the keeper, who saved .. my winger pounced on the rebound, and hit that straight to the keeper. I was gutted. So I wouldn't trust the game to pick the best Playmaker for me, either. Don't focus simply on the Creativity attribute - note that for a Playmaker you also want high Decisions, Teamwork, and Anticipation, as well as a high Passing attribute.

ftg87 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Ooh god no, I never trust my Assistant Manager to do anything, not even contract renewals, they never seem to be able to do things logically IMO, is also one of the reasons I don't holiday if I can avoid it and also try not to get touchline bans, cuz they always seem to stuff it up for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assistant manager then took charge and we won our first game in ages. I think I was managing Gretna at the time. They do work the odd time.

Fair shout, looks like you got a bit of fortune on your side there I always seem to get touchline bans at the most inopportune moments, like right before a cup match or a crucial league match, I blame my bad temper tbh, I tend to complain sometimes even if I win, I get that mad at the dumb referee and then my Ass Man ignores the fact that the current line up and tactics have won us X amount of games on the trot and decides to change everything and we lose, complete nightmare Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should let him take charge of all the games. I was just thinking couldn't you go on holiday and tick use current team selection/tactics when you get a touchline ban. Or would that be considered cheating? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would that be considered cheating? I guess you could do, never considered it myself as I don't like the idea of using any sort of loophole or cheat in FM (any other game I cheat like hell tho lol, just got a clear conscience when it comes to FM) but realistically, like was brought up in another thread earlier, a manager would, more often than not, still be at a game when he has a touchline ban, albeit in the stands, and he would want to see his team playing the way he wants them to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutonNil Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Don't focus simply on the Creativity attribute - note that for a Playmaker you also want high Decisions, Teamwork, and Anticipation, as well as a high Passing attribute. Exactly - but also there are hidden attributes that should also be taken into consideration Also maybe it's not the Ass Man that chooses but the AI like it does with other teams BTW - just won the BSS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penalty takers- I was Australia once, and Craig Moore took a penalty. He scored it. His PK was 16 and his composure 15, so I suppose he was the ideal choice.

Klimowicz Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 i always used a playmaker until last week when i guessed that giving a player (pirlo in particular) a free role is more effective than making him a playmaker. he's gone past the club record for assists already with 10 games+ left. ticking the box and giving a free role seems to have a negative effect.
