bababooey Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Can you clarify that a bit? Are you sure you're actually scheduling the friendly? I've never heard of that happening so perhaps it's a bug? If it is I would post about it in the bug/feedback forum.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Started my save but i am having an issue with arranging the friendlies, set everything up ready but it just goes past the date no, mention of them accepting or rejecting it never heard of this happening you might want to post in the bugs forum.

alinp Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Backup tactics with the same formation or tactics that have different formations from each other? Doesn't a single tactic in the first season limit you or lose familiarity in a match if you change from control to standard for example during the match? I'm sure Cleon has dealt with the issue of more than one tactics/formation etc. before and will correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, this methodology will still speed up tactical familiarity, just that the more tactical elements you have, the longer it will take (although it'll still be quicker than leaving it all to your AssMan).

Shake Appeal Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Started my save but i am having an issue with arranging the friendlies, set everything up ready but it just goes past the date no, mention of them accepting or rejecting it This seems to happen when you start the season, set some things up, and then save and quit before they go through.

MShing Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Another fantastic thread Cleon. I used this in my pre season and my newly promoted Belgian 2nd div team are flying in the league. We are top of the league half way through the season 5 points clear playing some great football and we were favorites to get relegated. The football we are playing is so much better than last season it definitely has something to do with setting up pre season like you suggest.

ronaldo1026 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I've run this a few times in the Beta before starting a save in the full game...really liking the results apart from one thing: I'm having 1-2 players each time I do this suffer injuries in the weight room and miss 6-8 weeks. Is this merely a result of a high intensity training and happens or is it coincidence? I used Barça in these saves, and it was the guys who would probably suffer injuries lifting weights if they did it too much in real life, probably - Messi, Iniesa, Adriano and Alves.

Cleon Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 And your tactic still isn't all fluid and you only brought 3 players into the club? Where the players bought spread out or all in 1 go? What date did they arrive? because something else must be wrong here because the tactic should be almost fluid if you did all the things you said you did. Got time to upload the saved game and PM me a link for it so I can take a look at it tomorrow morning please? Edit - Just saw some of the dates properly when I moved to the laptop. Those games that are 2 days apart won't have had training I'm guessing. You need 3 days between the games ideally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 3 players, there was exactly 4 days between two of the signings, I remember explicitly because they both needed work permits and I found it odd that one would take longer than the other by 4 days. The last signing was a bit closer to the penultimative player but still played 5 friendlies so late July. I will get you the saved game. Thanks for the feedback.

The last signing was a bit closer to the penultimative player but still played 5 friendlies so late July. I will get you the saved game. Thanks for the feedback. I've looked at the save game and the issue is with how you set the friendlies up. You have 6 of them which was 2 days apart meaning the game was played on the training day. So while you had friendlies the players didn't actually have training because you played on those days instead. So 6 of the friendlies you had didn't have the required training day. When you set the friendlies up ensure you have a match training day before the next game or its wasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylg Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Cleon, just coming up to my last friendly of pre season (Community Shield). All my players are match fit, tactic is fluid, general training is team cohesion/very high and match training as tactics only. My question is as i am now starting my first competitive games of the season do you change your general training and intensity level and also scheduling, was thinking, main focus (Balanced) and intensity high and just resting after match.

Just to expand a little bit on Cleon's answer... The recommendation is to use General Training set to Balanced with low or average intensity. In that case, you can set additional individual training for each of your players (for role or specific attribute) with High intensity. Match training can be whatever you think your team needs for each particular game. It also depends on the strengths and weakness of your tactic/formation as well as the oppositions' and if you are playing home or away. With under 18s or 19s teams, I personally like to switch between focus on Tactics (anticipation, composure, concentration, decisions and teamwork) and Ball Control (dribbling, first touch, heading, technique and flair) focus, alternating each week.

I tend to not match train at all but that's just my preference. Why don't you use match training after your tactic is at full familiarity? Don't you have players who complain about lack of match prep? And does your tactic lose familiarity if you don't use any match training? I assume you do that because you want to focus on attribute training/player development. But maybe there is another reason(s). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you do that because you want to focus on attribute training/player development. But maybe there is another reason(s). No it doesn't lose familiarity unless I bring new players to the club which I don't during the season. Match training only gives a very slight boost for the next game but I find it pointless. My tactics are already strong enough and I have belief in the system I created so I ignore match training in favour of getting the most out of every single player. For the life of me I cannot get my tactics fluid before the season starts.I have put my training on 50/50 Tactics only Fitness training for the first two weeks followed by team cohesion on very high Played 10 friendlies against really poor teams and won every game What am I doing wrong guys? Minimum is 12 games. How fluid is the tactic by time the season starts? Make sure you have actual training days between the games by checking the calendar overview. Also make sure you aren't allowing players to be rest before or after games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleon Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 You've either not put general/match training on 50%, not got a tactics coach or have been resting before/after a game.

lam Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 10 games into the season and only just over 50% familiarity. Anyone else find this or do you have better results? Running with maximum match training and physical training, then dropping physical training in favour of team cohesion after game 5 or so when the players are fit. Regards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 It still works the exact same way as in the opening post. You don't need the pictures James they only showed my fixtures and the bars all fluid. Make sure you have a coach set to take control of tactics in the training catergory. Set training to 50% match and 50% general training. Make sure the match training is set to tactics. You need 12 games to make it all fluid. Make sure you have training days between friendlies when you have arranged them by checking the calendar. So far everyone who has uploaded a save for me to check made this mistake. Do not rest before/after a game while in preseason. Training multiple tactics will make it take longer Signing new players also makes it take longer to learn If people are following all the above then it works.
