Some tips for you, I hope you enjoy!
When editing AGPE DB make sure to follow some golden suggestions.
When setting the data for your teams, be sure to replicate what the team is doing in real life at this moment.
There are many different combinations that will make the team play a unique style in game, changing one
option can influence the way the team behaves drastically. Please make sure to choose every option carefully.
FIFA offer the possibility to set a different tactic against different types of opponents:
Normal, Versus Weaker and Versus Stronger
Below you will find some helpful information that will explain the impact of each tactical option in detail.
Options are an extra way of customizing the team, to get as close as the real playing style as possible.
These are not mandatory, so should only be used when it is very clear a team uses a tactical option.
Attacking Options:
Crossing:
This will make teams make more use of the wings and attempt crosses more often if a target man is on the pitch.
If no target man is on the pitch, this setting does not have any influence.
Please don’t use this for teams who attack over the wings but don’t cross
more than the average team.
Dribbling:
This addition will make players dribble more often in midfield and attack than the average team.
Free Form - Build Up:
Using this tactic, the team will play a free-flowing game, which will allow their players to leave positions in the defensive third and midfield.
For this, look at the whole season, not just one match or one player who has been given this role.
Not a lot of teams will use this as most use a organized build-up.
Free Form - Attack :
Using this tactic, the team will play a free-flowing game when in possession.
Allowing players to roam around the attacking third of the pitch.
For this, look at the whole season, not just one match or one player who has been given this role.
Mostly used by the bigger, higher rated teams.
Defending Options:
Offside Trap:
The teams' defensive line will actively move forward with added risk of mistakes!), to try and catch the opposition
offside. This should only be added to a team that is well known for doing this very aggressively.
Gegen Press:
After the team have lost the ball, the players closest to the ball will all press the attacking team to try and regain the ball quickly and interrupt the attack.
This will require high stamina for all players, so it is not used by a lot of teams.
Versus Weaker & Versus Stronger
Apart from assigning the right NORMAL tactics, you need to judge how your team plays against (much) stronger or
(much) weaker opponents.
To help the AI recognize weaker or stronger teams, and to make them choose the right tactics against them, you
have to set the values in the Apply Against “OVR difference” boxes. You can set values between 1 and 20 here.
The higher the number the weaker the team needs to be before the
“Vs Weaker” style is applied by the AI.
The “vs Stronger” box in the column means, that the team reconsiders its playing style and will (probably) act more defensively against teams who are weaker.
The higher the number the stronger the team needs to be before the
“Vs Stronger” style is applied by the AI.
• Versus Weaker:
These settings are the tactics that your team will use against weaker opponents.
Usually they will be more attack minded and are often more possession based, as the team is stronger than their opponents,
but please remember that this is not always the case.
Some teams will still play direct and fast against weaker sides.
We would usually see a higher value in mentality for this tactic too, but that also is not always the case as some teams still defend deep against weaker teams.
• Versus Stronger:
These settings are the tactics that your team will use against stronger opponents.
Usually they will be more defensive than the other two tactics.
We would usually see a more defensive value in tactic here, as most sides
defend deeper against stronger teams. This isn’t always the case so please look out for those exceptions.
Think, this is only a small aspect.
For this reason FAES AGPE is incredibly unique and the most advanced mod.
Genius sir. So is it correct that these attacking and defending tactics you show here are present in the Teams db using RDBM? Also, each box represents a value (1,2,3,4)? So to set a team to the attacking style in your example, I would enter the values (3,4,4,2) in each unique field?
