dafuge Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Is your defence ridiculously bad or is it some FM 15 bug? A bit of both I think. I do play very attacking football, but my defenders aren't that bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
egesagin Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Will be following this. dafuge, I think you're playing text only, right? If so, how do you really understand what exactly is going on in the field? I mean I played the old games and I'm used to it but I had to use my imagination. Now I know that there is a match engine that we can use so it feels weird for me. When I see exactly how things go down, I can take better precautions etc. So could you give a few tips if you're playing text only? Because my seasons take waay too long, not that I complain but I eventually get bored while at 7th season, though I want to be able to play longer careers so faster could be an option Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 I'm watching all of the matches at the moment, I only switch to commentary only once I'm completely satisfied with my tactics.

dafuge Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Canvey Island - Vanarama Conference Premier - 2019/20 Despite a mid table finish, last season we had a squad capable of much more. This season we were looking to make it into the playoffs. League Table - it was a comfortable win as we pretty much led from start to finish. FA Trophy - after two consecutive losses in the final, we finally got our Wembley win. FA Cup - we had a tough draw, with a big League 1 side at home. Transfers - barely anything was needed to improve the squad after last season. Squad - a rebuild will be needed for the Football League, but we have a few useful players who will stay on. Finances - a great year for the finances. Key Player Profiles: Chris Long - a stunning goal tally. Fejiri Okenabirhie - a great supporting striker. George Moncur - found himself out on the wing, but had a great season. Miro Muheim - another great season. Jake Clarke-Salter - a solid defender with a shocking disciplinary record.

That's amazing to me. I've always strived to play exactly your way; use a decent tactic and just focus on personnel and yet I can't seem to do it from FM 13 onwards. Whenever I stick to one tactic it inevitably falls apart at one point or another. It blows my mind that you play like this and achieve just the kind of steady progress I'm aiming for while I can't do that for the life. Logic dictates then that it must come down to my tactical ineptitude and that's why I'm interested how your tactical creation works... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Canvey Island - Sky Bet League 2 - 2020/21 Following our promotion, we stepped in the Football League as a professional club for the first time in our history. League Table - we hit form in the second half of the season which saw us clinch promotion. Johnstone's Paint Trophy - we had a decent run, but got well beaten by the club I support. Capital One Cup - we managed not to completely embarrass ourselves in the Olympic Stadium. FA Cup - another exit at the hands of a much bigger club. Transfers - just a few key signings as I couldn't find many decent players interested in joining us. Squad - most of the squad should be good enough for League 1, but I need to add a few new players. Finances - not quite as bad as it could have been. Key Player Profiles: Chris Long - another brilliant goal tally. Fejiri Okenabirhie - an amazing number of goals for a supporting striker. George Moncur - starting to look like a decent winger. Miro Muheim - it has taken so long to persuade him to stay, he should sign a new contract soon. Rohan Ince - this signing made a huge difference to our defence.
