For people struggling with poor or inconsistent performances, a tactics guide:
http://www.fm-britain.co.uk/downloads/TTF_Documents_Tactics.zip
It's pretty in depth, but gives some good tips and makes some interesting observations about the match engine. It also contains some pre-made formations alongside the documentation.

It's excellent. I downloaded it, thinking I'd just take a few sneak peaks and leave it at that. In the end I created a couple of new tactics completely from scratch by going through that in detail. And it does seem to be working. It only told me a few things I didn't really know (for example that the mentalities of every position shouldn't be far from the next position, and max 8-9 between lowest and highest. That's a far cry from some of the default FM09 tactics which put central defenders at minimum, which I then always used to do myself, and strikers high up), *catches breath*, but putting it all together worked nicely.
Share your tactic mate.
But, if he turns out as good as Ronaldo, which he is not far off from doing, and has scored as many as some of my strikers then surely paying £20 million for him when he is only 16, from a rival club can only be considered a bargain. You have to consider that buying anyone half decent from a rival club seems to cost £50+ in this game.
So i agree it was a stupid move at the time, but it has gotten me a quality player that is a dead cert to take over from Ronaldo in a few years time. And, i've made more money from sales in the game than spending, so i had millions in the bank at the time.
Just bought it there. Gona fire it up later on. When I start a new game I usually play a season or 2 with United then work my way down the leagues managing different teams where its more of a challenge. What do you feckers usually do at the start?
Usually just install it, and quick start a United game to see what the squad is like, what the new layouts/options are like. Then I generally start a game with a bottom three Premier League club. After I get bored of that, I either play a game with a team in the conference, or some random team who are in the shit financially. Gives the game a bit of longevity.
So your a purist then Brophs! Had a great run with Cambridge City, without cheating got them to the uefa cup from the blue square. Board were wankers though had to turn it off due to anger. Havent played it now in about 6 months
Ah, I dunno about that. I just like to play the game over a long period rather than a season or of buying Ronaldo, Messi, Micah Richards etc.
In this game there's good potential for long-term games too, given the silly amount of class regens coming through.
Was playing with Brighton (got into the prem eventually) but as usual i don't play one game too long and decided to make a new game as united (don't usually go straight in) Sold Fletcher to city for £25mil (i love it) also Tevez out to Real for £28mil (wasn't to keen on having him and rooney with shit finishing stats).
OUT:
Tevez - Real Madrid £28,000,000
Fletcher - Man City £25,000,000
O'Shea - Sunderland £5,000,000
Manucho - Aberdeen (loan)
PIG - Some french team around £5,000,000 (think)
IN
Hunterlaar - £14,750,000
Palombo - £11,750,000
Zhirkov - £13,500,000
Arshavin - £11,000,000
Henri Saivet - £1,000,000 (could rise to £6,000,000)
Jose Baxter - (bout the same as Saivet)
John Bostock (bout the same as Baxter)
The last three are youth players bought in on "free" contracts, where i thought i was getting them for free but turns out each had money attached to the deal.
Squad looks pretty well balanced & played a few games and haven't lost yet.
Almost bought in tons of other strikers (to replace Tevez) but Huntelaar seemed the best value for money, could of signed Adriano for around £15mil but would have to wait 2months for him to return from injury and his personality wouldn't really fit in at united, also almost got Cabanas but his club wanted way too much (around £20mil), also almost got Cardozo (bit of a gamble i thought), Also almost got Rossi (again too expensive), the one i was really pushing for was Sergio Aguero as he's supposed to be a god on the game but it would have cost me £40mil to do (with add ons) so i opted for the Klass Jan Hunterlaar option for £14.75 and he's looking good for it in his few appearances so far.

My Newc team is going well in second season. Playing an attacking 4-3-3 with Uche, Martins and Demba Ba upfront - so pretty fecking strong and quick!
Only problem is, every mutha fecker with money wants my players and my players are unsettled because of cnutish behaviour from other managers.

Zhirkov is amazing in this game.
So far I have done 4 season's with QPR.
Season 1; 3rd in championship and lost in play off final on penalties
Season 2; 2nd in championship by 9 points to Boro.
Season 3; 16th in the Premiership beating relegation by 4 points.
Season 4; 11th in the Premiership 9 points ahead of WBA in 12th.
My aim for the next season is to try and win the League Cup and break into the top 8.

I just lost at home to Portsmouth 1-3, my first defeat in about 12 games, and it was complete bollocks. Basically I'm doing too well, so it decided I was in for a screwing. Kaboul scored a 25 yard first time left foot volley into the top corner! They had 3 shots all game.
Man City just bought Van Persie for £7m!
Vela has the second highest value in the Arsenal squad as of like early 2010. Walcott was the second after about half a season. Van Persie is really surplus at Arsenal according to the game with Adebayor (Eduardo seems to be able to score goals no matter what form, i sold him to real madrid when he recovered from injury and scored like 20 in 17 for them :/ ) But yeah im mid 2010 and Vela is worth 30 million, Walcott almost 30 million and Fabregas 35 (but hes basically worth 35 from the start of the game)
There is nothing like a good Zhirkov in any midtable club.
Just downloaded the patch for this, it updated the files and now the fecker wont start up for me. Anyone else have this problem?
No, mine worked fine.

If you authenticated your game through steam, you have to update via steam?
I did that first time around. I uninstalled the game then reinstalled and it worked fine with the new patch. Not sure what happened first time around.
Never had FM before, or played it really, used to play LMA manager on the PS and loved it. Bit worried I'll get obsessed and never go outside again if i get it.
Should I? May as well for £17.98 though surely? (Unless someone wants to give me a link and then it's just rude not to have it).

Good tac
First 5..
Rio had a shocker for Everton and Vidic for Villa
Lads, how do I save that tactic? I've gone into program files but when I go into Sports Interactive there's no tactics folder?
Its in my docs not program files.
Go to My Docs<Sports Interactive<Tactics, and save it there.
But if you save it anywhere(eg. your desktop), you go to Tactics<Tactic<Edit Tactics<Import, you can just load it from wherever you saved it.

Give it 10-15 games so the defence can adapt to the formation and also negate the forward runs of your MC (attacking one) to mixed. And also maybe make fullbacks less offensive and this would reduce the leaking of goals
I am playing fantastically at the moment; barely conceding and scoring lots of goals. The quality of football that i'm playing pleases me as well. Can't say that i can get Ronaldo scoring 65 goals a season but there is a good distribution of goals and assists and, quality football.
- 4-4-2
- All midfielders on mixed forward runs/full-backs often/Berbatov often/Rooney mixed
- Mid-slow, mid-short passing
- Attacking play with normal creativity (team)
- Wingers mixed crossing/full-backs often
- Generally very wide
Lost one in 18, fairing well in all competitions (100% CL record)
Against top 4 i bring the width down, attacking down to normal and play on the counter. Beaten Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal comprehensively. Aston Villa are 8 points behind in second etc etc.

Yh, he is quite brilliant there
Brought Henry back to Arsenal in January transfer window. Not doing too badly...
Really liking this game. One season in with the patch and the game just froze and wouldnt go to the next match. Reinstalled the game and entered the code to verify and it just froze as before. Try to load the game again and was asked to verify using the product code again. Pain in the arse. Think i got a dud copy. gonna bring it back to HMV asap.
the 3d match engine is lagging for me ..
is it like that for everyone or should i consider getting my old useless graphics card replaced
