Novem9

Well, anything can happen. I started a save for the same team twice. The first time, my player was out for 6 months, after which he received another injury for 5 months. After the restart, this player played out the season without serious injuries. But my goalkeeper did not leave the hospital. Both players are not prone to injury.

Have you hired new medical staff? Personnel attributes matter a lot in this FM, and I've noticed that new personnel can introduce a temporary spike in injuries

I look at the ridiculous attributes of a newgens and regret that @Daveincid does not have access to correct this absurdity. Thanks for hard work mate, your mods add common sense as much as possible

Wow! Just yesterday I thought Italian finances are perfect with your mods already

Just a little common sense please... My team: his choice: I don't know how to perceive this game without sarcasm

AMs = hold ball Also I guess default passing and FBs -> FBa would be a nice tweaks

Just wow! Really enjoy how my 4231 transforms into 2+3 in defence and 2+3 in attack! Thank you @Rashidi Defensive: Attacking:

Here we go:

Probably nothing If my team create a chances, it's mean plan is working. If I noticed something during game, maybe I switch roles/duties. Sometimes I change formation, but usually it's happen against strong teams. It's not possible to win 100% games

In context where I need to use cautious mentality only and ignore pressure?

I want to check some things, but have no time right now. So just holiday test in this moment: Season 1 Season 2 (all transfers by AI) Season 3 Stats of season 3. No many cards as I predicted: No league winners unfortunatelly, but Milan won two Copa Italia: Any ideas how to improve this tactic (and keep defensive priority) ?

Hi, AP plays on vertical line as DM very often, WBa is lonely on right wing. Sometimes AP plays as classic winger too. AM in cautious mentality has positive player's mentality, so he plays higher, because AP = goes down closer to teammate who controls a ball. Also AMs is pretty static role, which I need in this setup. AP is kind of fantasista, undefined variable or something like this

This is definitely a more comprehensive and complex system than the pairs and combinations from past FMs. Time to rethink a lot of things, forget old postulates. I've had some success with a cautious mentality in FM24. The game detected my hybrid style as "wing play." Now I understand how FM24 defines "fluid counter" and "direct counter" styles. I still have to carefully re-read your posts. But already check some things, especially I like this game: Avg pos with ball Tactic: My question - any sence to use more often trigger press in this, in your opinion? And thank you for this useful thread, @Rashidi P.S. What worries me is how much AI managers use the new system? It feels like many of the AI characters are playing the “old fashioned” way, which is why we see hockey scores in some matches

At least I have to try it =)

I'm asking because WB have different duties. In one hand, WBa plays higher, and L probably will be cover his zone, isn't? In other nand, L near WBs will have more options in passing, and BBM will play higher?

Formation 442 diamond AF-PFa Treq BBM - CAR DMd WBs - CB - CB - WBa Which CB better to use as Libero? I want to use CB as second DM.

A few years ago I read an interesting thought on this forum. I don't remember if it was the SI developer or one of the tactics gurus. The point is this. With a cautious mentality, the team plays vertically in their own half of the field and short passes to the other side. With an aggressive mentality, the team plays short passes in their own half of the field, and more vertically in the other half. This is actually an obvious point. But knowing and taking into account this factor, the understanding of the choice of mentality becomes deeper.

It's like on screenshots, I don't use PIs

While I was hoping for patch 24.3 to fix a number of (non-critical) issues, I haven't been this excited about FM in years This is so different from criticism in feedback that I decided to make this thread. People need to look less for exploit tactics, that's a thing of the past, imo. Also, I don’t remember that adapting the formation to the opponent was so useful before. I changed from 4231 to 523 simply because my opponent was unusually good at 442. We managed to beat him with this trick, and this is just one example. Which gave wonderful emotions! Playing with a cautious mentality, I truly enjoy every goal. It feels like something deserved. And, well, having the best defense in the league is my fetish.

Season 2, 4231 My manager for this save has a good reputation, so after 1st season I moved to Sampdoria (10st place in season 23/24). Sampdoria had some good players, but there is a difficult budget situation. So no chance for a good transfers. Team lose some key players, like GK which rate was 4 starts and Serie A player rank. As I said, 100% the same TIs. I used a clear DM in this formation because we have just 2CBs and right WB support attacks. AM still has no playmaker role. Btw, I forgot to mention, AM(s) mentality in FM24 is not cautious: It's positive! And this is amazing! I really like to see how SI rethink PI mentality in FM24. I really like pair of WB(a) + Ap(s) and this formation is no exception. Also I noticed Wingers are not just a runners. IW started to be more specific roles, but Wingers more universal. 28 goals against. Despite the fact that my CBs were far from the best in the league. I also critically lacked a striker who could to decide a clear moments. xG: Chances: Shots against: Player stats: Conclusions: the team is able to be competitive with a cautious mentality and without pressure in FM24. The goal was to get into the top 4. Although in terms of the level of players, I would say about the top 8. Sampdoria was even the first, I can complain about the injury of our main goalkeeper. Also I used plan B without CAM:

I was surprised by the statements that FM24 can only be played through counter-pressing. It seemed to me that the new system of losing balls and movements provided advantages for playing as number two. So I decided to combine my journeyman in Italy with trying to ONLY play with a cautious mentality and never press. So far I have used two main tactics, and one additional one. I have a few more spares, but I have tested very few of them. They all have identical TI. Season 1, 5212. The main difficulty here was that I had practically no suitable reserve players. Since I play with Daveincid mods, it were a lot of injures, which made my team weaker. I see this as mix of counter and position attacks tactic. Plan A - fast deployment. TI 'play out of defence' isn't linked for this, because it's about in-possession phase. But fast attacks is in-transition phase. Plan B is positional attacks. This is very convenient in FM24, since I don’t need to change anything at all Also I use higher defensive line for compactness, it's not about pressure. Also players use drop off more. Maybe I'm wrong, but the closest analogue is some of Antonio Conte's teams Roles: AM is a key. Basically he is not a playmaker, but in fact he is. I definetile want to use Trequartista role in a top club later. I started with pair of DLF-AF, but AF was isolate. PF is a good universal striker, predictable for partners. First plan was DM pair of DM(d)-DLP(s). But I have no clear DMs in this team. Perhaps the final version was even better 25 goals against: I feel this tactic is good for long distance. In play-off it could be some issues like this: Squad stats xG Chances created Shots against: You can ask for more information, especially if you explain where a screen is located Conclusion: This is specific, playing with a cautious mentality is not always easy. I didn’t change it even when the team needed to score a goal in the last seconds. And still it was possible, the team made comebacks. There is no point in saying that this is not an exploit. The results are at the level of expectations, or slightly higher. But I really liked it. Therefore, it is possible to play on a cautious mentality. and should be

I add advanced players in this window. And it gives me a lot of newgens even in nonactive league

Probably famous thing, which I started to use in 2023 year. It gives me a lot of good newgens in non-active leagues

GIF is just a joke It's far from perfect, but the AI is definitely getting better every year. To a lesser extent, similar examples occur in IRL clubs. My favourite saves are journeyman. Few years in past it was like to clean the Augean stables after move for a new club. Gradually my transfers are becoming more and more precise with every new FM. But as I said above, this is still far from 100% immersion. If you don't have high expectations, you won't be disappointed. I shared a lot of transfer issues in past few years, if you have a time and energy to do the same - it would be very useful

Is it linked to 24.3 official patch or any March date?
