18-WATP-73 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 its your tactics mayby? did you change your tactics after going 2 - 0 up? mayby not push as many players up? What did you say to your players at half time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPompey Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Wow, dont hold the punches:) When 2 up do you change your tactics such as playing a 5 man midfield, time waste etc or do you look for a third goal? We do see turnovers irl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 When 2 up do you change your tactics such as playing a 5 man midfield, time waste etc or do you look for a third goal? whs, hate to wheel out the predictable 'it's your tactics', but at 2-0 down the AI will have altered things to try and get back into it and if you didn't change things to counter it, you're asking for a comeback to happen.

phil452000 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 think you should take a step back and look at the bigger picture, how often has the opposite happened and you have that great smug feeling? its like being in a relationship...give a little, take a little. Keep the faith my friend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM06Matt Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 As much as i hate too say this but did you watch Burnley tonight... Comebacks do happen in football Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPompey Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Yep the AI opposition often go 4-2-4, they want to save the game. What happens irl? Pack the midfield and look to counter, reduce your attacking mentailty and creativeness, full backs dont make rns, point there arrows back. Plenty of options.....but dont always expect great success, especially if playing superior opposition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comebacks do happen in football Fair shout, 2 goals for spurs in the last 2 minutes of extra time. If only Burnley didn't capitulate in the first leg....

18-WATP-73 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 one final suggestion. If your having trouble and lossing alot of games like this over the season why not pause the game when theres about 15 mins to go? then take a deep breath and think about what the AI will do to steal a goal and go from there. Make sure any key players they have are marked up or closed down to prevent the threat they pose to your lead Hit the counter attack button? Or do what i suspect a lot of folk might to ( i do anyway) I have an 4 tactics all made up (all are 4-4-2) An attacking one = used agiants weaker teams or when tryint to claw a game back A standard one = Used agianst teams of similar ability A defensive one = Used agianst teams trying to claw a game back And a shut up shop one = Used to hold onto the smallest of margins 1 - 0 leads etc At first this system did not work well as my players where getting used to my system and saw my team suffer in the league but now they have got the idea and are climing the league table Why not spend time making such tactics if you havent and see how it goes from there?

Bababui Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 It also helps to sub out MFers with low defensive ratings. And have MFers that can play the holding position late in games. Start training good defending MC as soon as possible to also play DM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

backpackant Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Not been a problem for me since 9.2 patch. Must be tactics. I keep the opposition's formation as a widget on my screen so I can see what they are up to. If they go 4-2-4 I go slow, defensive with counter-attack ticked. I score more often than concede.

chopper99 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Boo hoo you lost a game that you were leading. Get over it eh, it happens. Especially if you do nothing to try and hold onto the lead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
