joe_sufc Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I'm worried that I might have a heart attack if I concede any more late winners/equalisers. It's so frustrating. If I'm ahead I'll always go defensive for the last 10/15 mins, go narrow, little creative freedom, stop full backs from going forward, timewasting etc. Is this not the right thing to do, or is FM just a cruel game?

Stevicus Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Get yourself a pacemaker:thup: It happens, all you can do is keep attacking mentality at the end, dont sit back or you will be ripped apart! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfpunk Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Yeah you're just inviting pressure on to your team if you sit back. Time wasting is better used with about 5mins to go not 10/15mins. I would maybe just change your tempo to slow and width to narrow but don't go defensive or they'll be wave upon wave of attacks from the AI, usually because they go 4-2-4 when behind with 10mins to go.

pnefc22 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The use of 4-2-4 is a joke though because in real football they normally go 3-4-3 or 2-4-4 or 3-3-4. You hardly ever see a team go 4-2-4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Lionheart Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 In fairness, 4-2-4 has 2 wide forwards- it's just a very attacking 4-4-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_sufc Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 F*ck it I've resigned, I'm just rubbish at this game. Just lost 4-0 to Aldershot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_sufc Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 When I dont change my tactics I still concede late goals or goals just after I've scored. FM is just a delibaretly frustrating game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Nearly every english team I play against goes 4-2-4 in the last ten minutes of a game if there's only a goal in it. I know some teams will do it in real life - Boro did it in their UEFA Cup campaign a few years ago - but almost all the teams in the league in almost every game? Sure it makes some teams vulnerable at the back, but only the very weakest, and unless you have a really really solid defence ready you can ship a lot of points that way. As I found out in my first three seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM mad Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I no how you feel! I was beating Sunerland 3-2 (away), 5mins was held up for extra time so i made a sub in the 3rd min of injury time to slow it down, then my defender gets injured so i had to put my two wingers at lb/rb. Then in the 8th min of injury time (Considerin there was only meant to be 5) my defender goes and scores an OG to make it 3-3... How i love/hate this game!!

grep Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Roughly 55% of broken keyboard causes is due to conceding a goal in FM during extra time infinite eras. When you are loosing the extra time usually slips by in a second or two of no action scroll. Weird Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
