          Being that it's nearly impossible to accurately create CTT's for clubs in Football League's One and Two due to a lack of video, how would you suggest choosing a tactic to go along with their R/L formation which is pretty easy to find? For example, Sheffield United play a 4-4-2, so should I just choose a random 4-4-2 custom formation and then pair it with a random tactic of a club which uses a 4-4-2(like Bolton for example) or should I match them up, meaning play a 4-4-2 v3 with tactic C just as Bolton does?
          I guess what I'm asking is would it be OK to match Fulham's formation with Stoke's tactics or should I keep it so a club which uses Fulham's formation uses Fulham's tactic as well.

            Honestly, unless you're a big fan of those leagues, you can mix and match. For the big leagues, it's about making the teams play close to real life, but the ultimate goal with all of these is for the teams to play like real football teams, period.

            So, anything for the lower English sides is better than the default. The goal is just to get midfielders forward, keep defenders back, have fullbacks attack on certain teams, etc.

            So, if you just mix and match, you'll at least still get realistic style play from the teams, even if it's not the exact way the teams play.

            I am going to put the Championship tactics into the spreadsheet, though.

                I'm that one lurker guy who greatly respects what you guys are doing, and finally decides that he can lurk no more and that the time has come to contribute.

                My contribution is actually very small and may not help at all. It's really just a very slight suggestion for people who play with Barcelona.

                Lionel Messi is pretty much the best dribbler in the game, I can run circles around people with him. However his usefulness is lessened somewhat by the default formation offered by EA, and maybe even the one on the spreadsheet here.

                Messi is pretty difficult to use receiving the ball with his back to the defense. My suggestion is to drop him a little deeper and switch his position to that of a CF. This will allow him to immediately move forward after receiving a ball and get to doing what he does best, slicing up defenses.

                  Re: Official FIFA 12 Custom Team Tactics Thread

                  Great thread. I'm getting ready to pick up 12. I'm not a soccer guy but am really impressed with the gameplay, crowd and commentary.

                  My only FIFA experience was 09, and that was for 2 weeks. I only play offline.

                  Since I am new to the series, would these custom team tactics be something I should look at changing later on? The same question would apply to sliders.

                    I played all of the early FIFA's up until the late 90's, then stopped until FIFA 08. This is my first FIFA since then, so I was really starting over again, plus I also play offline only so I think I can help. Number one, use these tactics and JD's sliders from the jump, you won't regret it. Next, be patient and learn to play the game the right way. There are some great vids by PatrickHDxgaming on you tube plus several great web sites, use them.

                      Agreed. I'd try these out from the start as the AI plays much better overall in terms of keeping defenders back when needed, bringing midfielders into attack, etc.

                      If you really want the full experience, switch to manual controls and use JD's sliders.

                          Massive thanks to those who are participating and also to those who are just supporting and using the tactics and formations.

                          5/20 Update
                          + English Championship and League One have been added to the spreadsheet in full.
                          + MLS also added to the spreadsheet except for Toronto. Anyone want to do that one?

                            Would those sliders translate to lower difficulties? Starting off on World Class sounds like an exercise in frustration for a newcomer.

                              Wouldn't hurt to give them a try. I'm sure they'll still work to an extent.
