[Bracconiere - a Football Manager 2022 Tactic]

Hi there, really enjoying this! Has a good level of interplay between the front 5/6 and producing some nice football. 3rd season as Parma, and doing well in Serie A with a young squad augmented by key loans.

Have a few questions though!

- Will there be any detriment if both CBs are asked as ball-playing? I understand you want a KISS-type to "sweep up" in case of any issues but my current CBs are all wanting to play as Ball-Playing, haha!

- I'm not having a lot of joy for the IW on the LM/RM position, regardless of who I'm deployed there. From the description it seems that it's best to have a mobile and intelligent passer, and I've tried that but in almost every game this is the position that has the lowest rating. Conversely, I've managed to slot in non-wingers in the Treq position to great effect (mostly).

- Seems to not be too great at corners, at least compared to some others (Knap's ones for example) but maybe it's just a bad run for me?

All in all very impressed with this, good work!

 

 

[Crossing - Low vs Whipped]

Yeah I understand it doesn't force them to do it 100% of the time - I did mention that I recognize instructions are not always followed, for good or for bad! 

The point of the post and question is not "how do I stop them doing high crosses" but if there is clarity on the nuance between how the low and whipped instructions converge, i.e. if I set it to "Low" are they "free" to do a low whipped cross as well as a "regular" low cross, and if I set it to whipped, do they think it is sometimes ok to do a low whipped as well as a medium/high whipped.

As mentioned, totally understand the differences between the crosses, and what affects the success, but I was asking about the decision-making in relation to the instruction.

[Crossing - Low vs Whipped]

Hi everyone,

Just tweaking my own tactics and am having second and seventh-thoughts about what to set for crossing - I'm building a tactic around wingers and mezzalas fluidly moving about the box, and am having quite a nice time watching the interplay with a F9 forward, but what I'm unsure of is which instruction to set for crossing.

I've read the tooltips but had a few questions still!

If I set the team to use Whipped Crosses, does this mean the height of the cross could be either high or low? I suspect yes, and that the speed of the ball is all that is "determined" (though instructions are sometimes ignored), for better or worse. For this I'd assume something like a player's technique is a lot more important than the other crossing options, since it requires a high degree of expertise to hit a cross with both speed and accuracy, and in relation to this for Technique and/or First Touch of the recipient is also more important. Is this the case?

Conversely, if I ask the team to play Low Crosses, does this mean that they will at least try to keep the crosses low but it could be whipped/driven anyway?

I totally understand the benefits of a whipped cross (harder to defend) and that a low cross is good for quick and nimble forwards to exploit, but as I've tried to explain (ramble) I was wondering what was the "overlap" between the two, if not the stark difference in that regard.

 

Thank you!

Anyone been able to come up with a tactic that incorporates a Libero and/or true box-to-box type of midfielder? And possibly a deep-lying forward...
