with/without ball screens??????

[krenka]

Who uses these screens when they make up a tactic? If you do, what are you thinking about when coming up with the formations?

I dont when making up tactics, but sometimes during games (when i want extra defence, or attack), i change these around a little.
Basically, when i want a more defensive formation i move attackers back (esp. without ball), and more attacking, i move mainly defenders forward (mainly with ball).

I never use those screens.. i don't understand that it can make a difference..

If i'm playing defensive, then i pull players back and have 9 players in the box when im in my defending 1/4. or if im attacking, i put everyone (maybe gk if i don't have nothing to lose) forward

wat speed do all u guys play on. i'm on very fast, but i'd never have time to make all those tactical changes u guys make. all i do is subs. if i have a good tactic i just keep it the way it is.

Personally, I can't see the point of playing the game unless you have to tweak tactics throughout the match. Just sitting back and letting the game fly by on very fast setting doesn't do much for me. I used to do that with a downloaded tactic, but I enjoy the game much more with my own tactics and a bit more of a challenge. how can you get a feel for the game if it's over in a minute or less?

I play the game in slow mode. Gives me just long enough to read each line before it disappears, and you get more indication if a player isn't playing well or if he's playing really well.

I've never fidded with tactics though, i tend to play 4-4-2 in every match, or occasionally 4-4-1-1 if i'm away against a difficult team. All i change is the team instructions, ie at home i play attacking/ direct/ hard tackling/ pressing/ offside trap whereas away I play normal / direct / hard tackling /pressing / offside trap, occasionally turning on men behind ball and turning off pressing if the situation demands it.

i think the www2 with minor tweaks is the best formation

 

[marc_angelus]

what's www2?

Personally I don't use the without and with ball screens, last time i had a tweak with them i starting losing game like 5-0 with Liverpool on the first cm3.
It kinda put me off.
I might try the idea of putting back many players and the same idea with attacking.
I haven't actually run into a formation thats unbeatable
