Dante_Lockhart Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I always get to the end of the first season and then want to start a new one again. I keep thinking of things I could have done different. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Man City butchered me last night 4-0! Cavani is pretty **** awsome tho! Play him as a poacher and he's got 13 in 10 in all comps with an average rating of over 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanvilla_1994 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I still cant seem to score from corners / set pieces though. 2 goals all season, that's it. I score quite a lot from corners, one of my centre halves usually gets 8-10 goals a season. Ill post the setup later if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 3, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2012 If anyone still hasn't got this (like me) my mate sent me a link yesterday and it's now £5.99 I think that's through Steam but I only glanced at the link so nto certain. If not I'll post it here later if anyone's interested Click me doubled in price now. But still cheapish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanvilla_1994 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I have my corners aimed at the near post. Then the individual player instructions are.. GK : Back RB : Back CB : Attack near post CB : Challenge keeper LB : Back CDM : Back CM : Go forward CM : Go forward LM : Go forward RM : Go forward ST : Attack far post Thats how I have mine set up and the CB attacking the near post should be your best at heading.

Dante_Lockhart Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Will give it a go. I've also built a tactic around the formation I want to play with the players I want to play. Let's see how it works out. I've always been crap at tweaking my own tactics and they never do any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Took a real nose dive in form. I was flying with Arsenal, but now, same tactics and players, ive suddenly gone really shite. Still winning but scraping by in games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laivasse Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Took a real nose dive in form. I was flying with Arsenal, but now, same tactics and players, ive suddenly gone really shite. Still winning but scraping by in games!Sometimes the game seems to punish you for over-reliance on the same tactic, which is why you need to keep the team familiarised with a couple of alternatives. Sometimes after you switch tactics and win a game, you get a press blurb along the lines of 'Manager Wiggyrichard really surprised everyone with his choice of a 4-2-3-1 instead of 4-4-2 formation, it was tactically too much for the opposition to deal with' or similar. Usually this only happens after using the same tactics for a looong time, however. Alternatively one or two of your key players might need an earbashing, or your squad might have grown complacent as a whole. If you're still winning but only scraping it, I suspect complacency.

Dante_Lockhart Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Right, started a fresh. Got rid of some deadwood and raised a fair bit. Got some great replacements in. Really taken my time and micromanaged everything this time. Created 2 of my own tactics w/ set pieces. One control free flowing attack one and a defensive counter one. Got Adam Johnson offered to me after he got unsettled at the start of August for 5m. Snapped their hand off. Kolorov for 3m. Bent went for 22m to City (first time that's happened). Joaquin for 3.9m and he scored a hattrick on his debut. Legend. Conceded just 1 goal over the course of the pre-season and kept a clean sheet in my first Prem game. Looking good!

TrentVilla Posted May 5, 2012 Moderator Share Posted May 5, 2012 Help needed. I'm playing on Mac through Steam and when I open the game its started opening it as an internet window rather than as the game itself. Its driving me nuts, anyone know how to stop this?

Stevo985 Posted May 5, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2012 As an internet window or just a window? On a PC (I'm guessing it's the same on a mac) there's an option to play the game in a window rather than as fullscreen, so I'd suggest going into settings and seeing if you've got that selected.

villaajax Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I'm in the mood for some FM but I just find the new tactic creator horrible to work with, it really puts me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Just scored the most goals in a season than i've ever done before with Villa. Finally got a new stadium on the way. Took 2 seasons of selling out every game and about £70m in the bank. Yaya Sanogo is just scoring for fun. These are his records since he joined on a free. Starting from the first season onwards.

keefa3011 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Villa have just been relegated to the Championship in my save After starting at Truro City in the BSS I finished just outside the play offs twice before moving to Darlington in the BSP and getting relegated and then finishing 2nd in the BSN. After this I joined AFC Telford and won the BSN at a canter and finished just outside the play offs in the BSP. My second season in the BSP we were in the play off positions when League Two Hartlepool came in for me, so I am there at the minute, trying to play catch up and get into the play offs. Just about to finish the 2016/17 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Yaya Sanogo looks pretty immense. What are his stats like in your save? Also what tactic are you using? Any chance of uploading it so I can give it a go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 His stats don't look impressive at all. My assistant keeps telling me i should use him as back-up for the first team. This tactic really needs someone up front with more finishing and pace, but it works for him fine. http://www.2shared.com/file/JR7-Z6IS/4-5-1_Main_.html Here are some of the stats your players should have and little things i use such as patch prep. GOALKEEPER: key attributes are Reflexes, Handling and One on ones. FULLBACKS: They will support the attack when in possession but also need to get back when not so look for attributes in Stamina, Tackling and Crossing. CENTRAL DEFENDERS: Strength, Heading and Concentration. BALL WINNING MIDFIELDER: Preferably over 6ft tall and build like a brick shit house. Tackling, Strength, Positioning and Heading. CENTRAL MIDFIELDER: Passing, Creativity and Technique. WINGERS: Pace and Acceleration obviously. Dribbling, Crossing and Creativity. TREQUARTISTA: The main creative force of your team. The play-maker. This guy needs to be a gifted player, your most gifted player. Most things will go through him. Technique obviously, also Creativity, Passing, Flair. Finishing will add extra goals too. POACHER: In my save he has scored for fun. Pace, Acceleration, Finishing and composure. PITCH: Small. MATCH PREP Attacking Movement. SHOUTS AND OPPOSITION INSTRUCTIONS: I don't use them. CORNERS: Always make sure your left winger takes them If player gets a red card sacrifice the TREQUARTISTA. You have to get the right players in the positions for this to work. If those key players don't have creativity you wont score goals. People like the change their tactics mid season, but i have used this tactic since the beginning and im in 2020 now. Just give the tactic some time and it should come good.
