DanTheMan999 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Before anyone starts moaning, this isn't supposed to be a realistic tactic. I remember playing 01/02 a few weeks ago whilst I was bored and using a tactic that was shaped as the screenshot below. Now, I remember 01/02's match engine being awesome for random formations that just seemed to work like the WWW2, although this was based on old football principles. However the 2-2-2-2-2 doesn't seemed the be really based on anything and it would never work in the real world. However, from what I've seen, the AI has no common sense. It can deal with normal formations, but throw in something completely bizarre and it has no idea what's happening. I'd also like to say that I am by no means a good tactician. I usually download tactics as I get too easily frustrated at tweaking. Obviously the tactics creator has helped but I still find myself getting annoyed. Also, this tactic might just be a one off, and has many obvious flaws, which you do see getting taken advantage of, but for some reason or another, the formation then finds itself dealing with the final ball. Not sure how. Anyway, the formation itself: So as you can see, 2 DC, 2 DMC, 2 MC, 2 AMC, 2 FC. Set up as follows: GK - Standard DC x 2 - Limited Ball playing DMC x 2 - Anchor Man MC x 2 - Box to Box AMCr - Attacking Midfielder AMCl - Inside Forward FC x 2 - Advanced Forward I've tweaked the long shots down as in league 1, nobody is really any good at them at all. Also the playing styles: Basically, I haven't tested it that much, just noticed some ridiculous stats like: Makes me think there might just be something in this formation, whether realistic or not. However, I'm absolutely rubbish at tweaking anything, so all I'm asking is that maybe some people take a look at it and see how it does for any team, and if they can improve it somewhat, great!

RT-- Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Would be interested to see a PKM of either of those games, Dan, if possible. Experiments like this can be quite handy in finding out where the AI fails to react to tactics properly. Obviously, a human player *should* be able to work out how to counter something like that, by exploiting the obvious gaps with a change of formation or a few shouts.

DanTheMan999 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'll try and post a PKM of one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan999 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 Apparently, FM has managed to save over the saved game... So I'll try and find another one of the tactics working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan999 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 http://www30.zippyshare.com/v/59856747/file.html Just fired up an Inter game and let it run until the first league game. Whilst they didn't score, Genoa were kept at bay, and even with Inter's players, that's still odd considering the formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Dire Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 If I was to play a 2-2-2-2-2 I would use wing backs and wingers to give better shape to the team. But as you said it is not a realistic tactic you have created. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los_Culés Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I am just curious if someone can properly test this tactic (with relegation battler for example). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleLeonard69 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I've just thrown this tactic into the start of my Stoke save.. my first two results are Stoke 2-0 Chelsea and Stoke 1-0 Man City, i'm going to restart the save and sell all my wide players and see how it goes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los_Culés Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 It looks like we have a small "killer" tactic here. Keep testing, I can´t till the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinner05 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Tried it for one game with QPR and got spanked at Newcastle 4-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roary the Tiger Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I think this proves that FM2010 is seriously flawed..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
