[Mr Hough 10.3 Tactics]

Any suggestions for tweaks when facing teams who are a lot stronger than yourself? I've tried to reduce the mentality, deeper defensive line, more time wasting and a more direct style of play. It works to a certain degree, but I'm still losing every game against stronger teams. I can't even manage a draw.

New season not going well at all. Losing big time. Giving the ball away in defence and not creating many chances. Should I just make it more defensive minded and play more directly?

Hello! =)

I have to praise this tactic as well. I'm playing as Lørenskog (a Norwegian third tier team) and was struggling a bit in my second season after being promoted to the second tier division. Played one season there, but felt that I could do a lot better. I really suck at making tactics, and when I do make something halfway decent the AI finds ways to make it obsolete after 3 games. Found this tactic and it worked wonders for me.

Now, it's unreasonable that I should be promoted to the top division, especially without playoffs, but that's what happened. My players are either young or mediocre, so I'd have settled with just a top half finish. Ended up being promoted directly.

Here are a few images from my game:

If you find it in your heart to develop something equally effective where you include wingers then I'd be thrilled. I love playing with wingers, but I'm not discarding this tactic until there's a great tactic out there. Cheers again for this. We'll see how it works in the Norwegian top division!
