Custom Tactics Discussion

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

This guy said that he made it work on PS4 so it might be a PC related issue. Nevertheless, hopefully the gameplay modder will figure out how to make the long ball work in custom tactics.

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

Something I came across last night that would be a blow even if tactics were working better is that if you assign a team a new team sheet with a custom tactic (say a shared one between several other teams), and you set it as their "Favorite", they'll use it in Kick Off matches.

However, when you start a CM, they use their default tactics only. So, you can still edit the default tactics and have them use whatever you customize in CM, but you wouldn't be able to mass assign 10-15 or some "generic" tactics for teams to use.

You'd still have to go and edit each time individually.

Kreb, you have to make sure you don't download the latest rosters. That will overwrite whatever editing you did. Use the "Use Custom Rosters" when starting CM and it should work.

Come on man, this isn't my first rodeo.

Tried multiple times, still didn't seem to work, but maybe I was just having a brain fart.

The edits made to the defaults would stick, but they wouldn't use a team sheet that was created that you set as their "favorite".

Unless of course I really was just out of it when trying.

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

anyone get anywhere with this?

I discovered for PC a code to put in your cl.ini that does encourage long balls and has tactics play a larger role, but it has annoying side effects including wide players crossing as soon as they get near the box, a lack of dribbling and the AI playing too fast in general. So not too useful by itsef, but anyway it's:

force_obective_ForcedLongPassUp=1

There is no hope on PS4 I feel for custom tactics again.

As it stand now, yeah, I don't think any combination can crack it.

But perhaps in an inevitable patch there's something that unbreaks them, whether it's an intentional fix or not.

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

It's just that FIFA loves their tiki taka A.I and worships it. That's why they removed the effect the custom tactics this year aswell as last year.

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

Eh, I think they just accidentally broke them.

In the demo with custom tactics and instructions you could get the AI to hit it long to strikers from defenders 5-6 times a game, and those were very short games.

What really doomed it is "team instructions". That and some backend programming seem to overwrite tactics.
The weird part is that some of them work very well while some don't at all.

It's true. If you tell players to stay wide, for example, they stay wide. But if you tell a DM to stay back, he doesn't stay back that much.

The idea of the instructions and team sheets are fantastic—it just sucks that not only were they not made deeper this year, but they also still aren't working.

Try telling your wingers to stay forward, it won't work either

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

Thanks, Krebstar, for the information. That sucks, but I'll look into it as I play some more. Hopefully there is a way

As I mentioned before, I was trying to get them to work in 15 until a few months ago, so I'll definitely keep messing around with it in hopes something clicks.

Hoping in a patch we see something like "Addressed issue with custom tactics not working correctly", or something similar.

What do you think the possibility of a patch addressing this issue is bud?
