Update on my current game.

Sat nicely at the top of League 1 on 1 February. Barring a major disaster, should get automatic promotion  :thumbs:

Blackstock on loan is awesome. 22 goals so far. Other than that, just signed a backup keeper and Jonathan Forte from Sheff Utd following the most outrageous bit of transfer wheeling & dealing I've managed to pull off yet

Yes, Barnsley really did pay 250k for Nicky Nicolau   Stupid fucking iidiots as he's still only worth 18k

Now sat with a nice healthy bank balance and no need to sell anybody else. Also in the Southern Final of LDV Vans Pot, but failed dismally in the FA and Carling Cups.

The only problems are three serious long term injuries to Jenks, Migz and most worryingly the Cock who is out for 10 months with damaged cruciate ligaments.

All this using TTF's MQ tactics and TUG Training, both downloadable from the FM2006 website.

Update again at end of season.

agreed. downloading tactics and training regimes is borderline cheating in my opinion.

[oxford_fan]

especially the tactics, easily the trickiest part of the game.

[pumbaa]

Explain exactly why you consider it cheating? In no way whatsoever are downloading tactics cheating IMO. Previous versions of the game were well known for having a super-tactic that would defeat the game engine with any team of any strength - not the case with FM2006. No one tactic out there suits all. For example, I tried the HQ version of this tactic with both Spurs and Liverpool and it sucks! The MQ version works great with Swindon.

I for one would love to be able to spend the time perfecting my own tactics, but I don't have the patience to sit on the computer for hours doing it, testing it and so on. The tactics I am using are formation templates, so they are designed to give a basic formation and playing system which you can adjust to meet the strengths and weaknesses of the players in your squad.

There is also a cheat training schedule for FM2006. I've never downloaded it and I believe it has been removed from the net. Certainly not available via the normal download channels now.

At the end of the day, its up to you how you choose to play the game. I've tried with my own tactics, with some success, but I've chosen to play it this way. Its not cheating, and if you wish to design your own tactics and training and get success, good for you.

I think you got a bite  

[oxford_fan]

it doesn't take hours and you don't have to sit for hours testing it. just pick a formation, set the team stuff on the sliders, then tweak the individual settings to suit your players and the opposition. not rocket science.

the whole point of football manager (i thought at least) was to be a football manager. this means deciding your own tactics and doing everything else a manager would do, not downloading tactics because you can't be arsed yourself.

obviously "its up to you how you play the game". but i wouldn't give much credit to someones achievements on there if they'd been using borrowed tactics. just take 5mins and get the team playing how you, as a manager, want them to - not the way that will probably win but you have barely any input in.

but if you're just not good enough, don't sweat. stick to the easy way, i'm sure you'll carry on winning.

It is a bit boring. the more you just download other peoples tactics and training and stuff the more you might as well just be watching someone who's better than you play the game. Maybe they should make a fm2006 the movie.

[PHIL!!!!]

Finally decided to download the 6.0.3 patch! I saved it in the football manager folder....is that where its supposed to be saved? Or is there a specific place it should be saved to?

[Simon Pieman]

I developed a tactic for the second half of my 2nd season in the prem was all about retaining possession and playing slow tempo footy. Worked a charm and I was playing some liquid football at times, winning many games by a few goals. Went on an incredible run from 5th in the prem to top by the end of the season after an amazing winning streak and undefeated streak of nearly 30 games (including cup etc). Got to semis in UEFA and won the FA cup.

Problem is when your reputation goes up other teams play slow tempo too, so it cancels out your tactic. So I'm going to get back on the tactics for this season.
