Custom Tactics Discussion

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

People may disagree with me... But the CPU strategy is greatly impacted by yours. If you set yours to Early or High Pressure (sorry I forget the name) they attempt more through balls and long balls. If you use the Drop back and defend tactic against them they tiki taka more.

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

Roster updates change teams tactics. Example Liverpool after the first roster update uses a 5-3-2. Which was not what they had when the game was released.

A lot of teams change, formation and tactics, with roster updates. If you make customtactics for CPU teams after the roster updates you will have to redo them all.

Tactics change, but how the game implements them and uses them should not be changed by a squad update. That would most likely only be done via a patch.

What do you mean? Long ball tactic is definitely working even before the patch, with the latest roster update...

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.

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

Do you guys still think the tactics aren't working after watching Matt's latest stream? Lots of variety from the spanish teams last night

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

I really don't see it... there's still a clear lack of variety in passing and lack of long balls after watching a good chunk of Matt10's stream. It's just the AI keeping the ball grounded with driven passes 99% of the time in the midfield, nothing adventurous unless they're crossing and practically all of the AI danger comes from their predictable tiki-taka infront of the 2 CBs. It gets so stale... football isn't played that way - even Barcelona regularly try adventerous balls

The patch improved things by breaking up most of the tiki-taka frustration but they still haven't got this fixed. Man they had it perfect in the demo, you could make teams knock it 60 yards everytime their CB had it, and the AI was much more dynamic in the final third with lobbed through balls. How did they get rid of this???

They made the A.I bit less dynamic and it's like back-stepping. It makes no sense.

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

Matt also wasn't streaming with custom tactics, just whatever the teams were using as default.

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

Long ball tactic is working perfectly now, so are all the others as far as I can tell. Put cpu pass error down to 40 and they're playing even more long balls. Glorious. You planning to make up some custom tactics Krebs mate?

Are you on PC with the new patch?

Pass error to 40 scares me a bit in terms of sliders, I will say.

Are you able to upload a video showing this? I'm on PS4 and so still pre-patch but have the roster update and like others have said, I'm not seeing many long balls at all, even when the AI team is on "long ball" tactic with forwards set to get in behind or target man. I still just see the occasional long ball, which is played by most teams, irrespective of their tactical settings, but certainly not a bombardment of long balls as the clear, main tactic.

Re: Custom Tactics Discussion

Yeah I'm on PC, was just trying out the 40 Pass Error. I usually have it around 60 and they were still playing it long.

Thing is like I said before both my PC and PS4 versions started working regarding tactics on the day before the patch came out.

Are you using default sliders? With last week's roster update I was able to achieve it and even in the first minute of the match the CB got the ball and made this neat animation with his leg to hoof it up the field. All on ps4. Will try again later with the last update. Hope it's still there.

How many long balls are they playing from the back? can you post a video of it or something to see how it looks? I can't get anything remotely like a long ball team. I might see two long passes from centrebacks in at the most, usually none.
