Twellman24 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 FM 08. Every ****ing time I'm winning, the AI goes all in with a 4-2-4 and ****s me. I know theres a tactic but I never wanted to use it. I cant take it anymore. If the game is screwing me, I guess I'll have to do something. Anybody has it?

Kewell08 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Use the tactic or quit. Play FM09, or 07... or CM01/02, since apparently that was the pinnacle of all management games... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djwilko6 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 There's no need to swear. I take it you mean a tactic to combat 4-2-4? If so then the Tactics section would be a good place to check Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moretz Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 dude, common sense. Defence, depth, narrow formation increase time wasting, use counter attack man mark wingers. Basic stuff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Furia Roja Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 alot of people come on ranting about how the game keeps doing them over, i have seen plenty of teams thow players up to get that goal, managers dont complain, they look at the formation and combat it. You say it keeps happening, how many times and what have you tried to counter it. If your just sitting there moaning about it happening, do something about it. When im up by a few and the oppostion (quite rightly) throw players up to get goals back, defend, slow the tempo down, waste time, and most of all COUNTER ATTACK! think about it, they go 4-2-4, you stick 4-4-2, 4-5-1 or whatever you play and you will constantly have an edge with numbers, even better of you have a really quick amc (they usually have low defence stats) thow them on and tell them to make forward runs everytime they can!

La Furia Roja Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 but thats not really a good solution, whats the point of a football managing game if all you do it buy players, if your results are better when your not there your obviously not playing the right players/formation for your team, even a simple 4-4-2 might not work for some teams, do you tick use current tactics and players?

Twellman24 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 dude, common sense.Defence, depth, narrow formation increase time wasting, use counter attack man mark wingers. Basic stuff Basic stuff that does not work. I'm not some stupid moaner. I've played over 300 seasons of FM only on FM 08 and I know what Im talking about. I do that and they score, not even that, but the very first chance they get. Ill check the tactics forum though, thanks for the advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill check the tactics forum though, thanks for the advice. it was probably the 'basic stuff' comment that got that got that reaction but its hard to disagree, you say you've played "300+" seasons yet you cant defend against a 4-2-4? i personally have 11 different tactics saved, basically trial and error against other tactics, when one works, save it as say "anti 4-2-4" so when the dreaded commentary comes up, put it into play. Your game hasn't decided that 4-2-4's will constantly beat you, everyone has/has had the same game and managed just fine..... I hope the patch fixes all the problems. Don't think they are still patching 08.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twellman24 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 Im winning a cup game 1-2, right away stop the game to switch to defending since the AI goes to 4-2-4. Without even having time to change the tactics, they score. Now, I have to go for the winner, of course. But they stick with 4-2-4. I cant just defend anymore, obviously. The game ends 3-2 for them. With these stats. But yeah, I'm sure there is something I'm doing wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I love it when the opposition goes 4-2-4. It's so easy to expose them. I score quite a lot of late goals because of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Furia Roja Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 you are definitely doing something wrong mate, not sure if it meant in sarcasm or not but 4-2-4 generally means you will bag a few more, ill ask again, what formation do you use and what do you change to when they go 4-2-4, if its as bad as you say, pause it when they change and change yours! Also do you change your formation/tactics when you are winning? Finally how often is this, you talking every single match your winning in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
