This has been my problem the last few fms. Playing it for so many years you think youve sussed it. But the game changes and gets more advanced as well. The game is so in depth now and its so easy to over complicate your tactics.You’re probably bored of me always replying now But I agree about keeping it simpler. It does take some getting used to but you need to think of the players as actual human beings. Every single line you see on your tactical style is something your player has to remember. If you have any individual instructions then they have to remember those too. Then if you set opposition instructions then there’s more they need to remember to apply! My current tactic has 20 instructions in my tactical style, there’s not a chance I would be able to remember them all if I was a player on top of everything else going on.
What you’ll find is that as the game progresses and your squad gets better (and also more familiar with your tactics) it’ll be easier for them to remember, and apply, their instructions. If you’re doing a lower league save or a save with a ‘bad’ team then you would definitely want to reduce the number of instructions you give the team.
It probably goes without saying but your pre-season friendlies are a great opportunity to play around with your tactics and remove/add/change some instructions to see what impact it has.
Iv gotten by the last few by buying the editor and scum saving the shit out of it to get the results i need but its boring af. Its like im having to learn the game all over again and im enjoying it much more. Having said that iv won 6/6 in the league so far, beaten AZ 3-0 at home in the first EL group game and just beaten Hearts in the league cup so i havent had the chance to get frustrated yet lol.
