omaroo Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Now I havent really used shouts since playing FM, simply because seems too crowded to know what to do and hasnt worked for me. Now do you guys use shouts all the time and do you have to use them to get success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipknot67 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Now I havent really used shouts since playing FM, simply because seems too crowded to know what to do and hasnt worked for me.Now do you guys use shouts all the time and do you have to use them to get success. I very rarely use them during a game but I do use a set of pre made shouts that hopefully compliments my teams style of play and tactics. So far it seems mostly to be having a positive effect on my results but as always with FM I keep in mind that the ai is constantly trying to figure out a way of adapting their style of play to try and negate my strategic advantage, so might throw in the odd different shout in a match just to try and keep them off balance and guessing what I'm going to throw at them next.

Coen Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 On FM13 I use "work ball in to box" every single game in a (usually futile) attempt to stop my midfielders shooting from outside the box all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
omaroo Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Ok good to know. So are there people on here who dont use shouts at all. As I dont use them in matches or at all, does that make crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipknot67 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Anyone please reply? I'm not sure what time zone your in but in the uk it's 00:30, so you're unlikely to get many replies at this time and bumping your own thread is only likely to draw the attention of mods.

Meak Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I used to put my team in "attacking" and "work ball into box" and "get ball forward" and it always worked well, but this year idk... i use that or nothing about 50/50 because my team can be so inconsistent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathbanda Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Ive never bothered with shouts, it can make a difference to the way your team plays but you can still be successful without them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendsill Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Use them all the time, as I find them blending in nicely with my tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
omaroo Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Ive never bothered with shouts, it can make a difference to the way your team plays but you can still be successful without them. Same here I haven't relly used them. I can understand they could help but I'm just wondering if its a big difference in using them or not. I have success on all fm games I played without shouts as well. I just feel others are better as they use shouts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA. Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I have tried to make some scenarios now, where i use several shouts, but when i play the match myself it dosent seem to work? Is it only when i ask for a instant result i get to use the match planer or have i missed something? I play matches quite fast so before i have done the shouts myself the match is over, so it would be really helpfull if i could use those scenarios shouts. Sorry my bad english, just had to ask this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fdawsoniv Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 No, you don't have to use them. The shouts are a quick way to make adjustments to your tactics. Everything they do can be done in the normal tactical setup. So if you're comfortable setting your tactics without using the shouts, then you're fine. And if you override TC instructions, or use classic tactics, the shouts don't work anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

QWERTYOP Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I start every single game with "pass to feet, hassle opponents & get stuck in" shouts before a ball is even kicked. Every game without fail no matter where I am. Sometimes use "work ball into box" too. Shouts are absolutely invaluable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCCook Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 There are only three I use very much- "work ball into box," "retain possession," and "get ball forward," but they do come in handy at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that you could pre set shouts in TC can't you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinLFC Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I dont know if they actually work. I had hassle opponents yet they dont look like they are and if they do just give free kicks or pens away. I am manging in the lower leagues so they might actually be crap at that .

eple Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 On FM13 I use "work ball in to box" every single game in a (usually futile) attempt to stop my midfielders shooting from outside the box all the time. Wouldn't that just change your players long shot setting to 'rarely'? Maybe I am underestimating the shouts, but aren't they just pre-made ways of adjusting sliders that can be adjusted manually?

llDracoll Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Using shouts depends on the situation When I'm losing, I almost always set my tactic to Overload and I use as many 'suicidal shouts' (Those that are completely attack-biased) as I can, essentially asking my players to steamroll the opposition. As of now, I've noticed that using Overload with a lot of suicidal shouts is far more effective than just using Overload Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
