bigredletterday Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I thought I'd seen in the blogs leading up to release that you could 'lock' player instructions to specific players/positions. I took this to mean that I could set up tactics and say whenever Downing is selected on the left wing i want him to cross from the byline and move into channels but when i select Surez i want him to be an inside forward - that sort of thing. Now I can't for the life of me seem to find this feature - does it exist, and if so where is it/how do I do it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobBRFC Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 That would be an amazing addition, unfortunatly I don't think it is doable, I have also been searching for this feature Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayban_DK Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 It should be. We have requested that feature for years now. :-( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellz2002 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I'm glad it's not just me then! Hopefully we've all missed it and it's staring us right in the face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louwen Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Wait a minute.... I KNEW there was something i forgot. That exact feature was one of those i was really looking forward to. Can someone enlighten us, if we misunderstood something, or if the feature INDEED was announced.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigredletterday Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Ah god - now I think I'm going mad!! I was absolutely SURE I heard that on one of the blogs - I've been thinking about the possibilities since i heard it. If it now doesn't actually exist it may be the final piece of evidence that FM has driven me mad....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotPotter Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 [video=youtube;ZuCsM9pvV80] The above is the video from the blogs prior to release, sounds like we've misunderstood what was explained initially (2:15ish is the explanation about roles) The crucks of it is, from the player instructions menu you are able to change the player role per, tactic, that role is then saved with that tactic. It's just a quicker way of being able to change roles in different tactics without having to save the existing tactic before switching to another.

Simply... Awesome! Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 You lock player behaviour via PPMs; tactics are instructions you give that should change over time. So if in your tactic you have a winger position. Then giving Downing the PPM "run down the left" would make him a winger proper, giving Suarez the PPM "cuts inside" would make him an inside forward. In many (not all) cases you have a choice between giving players a PPM or setting it in the tactics. The question isnt "how" but "why"! In addition, pay attention to TIs, like "exploit the middle" or "exploit the flanks" that fundamentally change the behaviour of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
