I think two things have put me off creating tactics before now.
1. Sliders.
2. No 3d engine.
With FM10 here, and the tactics creator, I'm loving it! I've had daft success straight "out of the box" (got to 2022 on first save started with Liverpool, becoming club legend in the process) On previous versions, however (including my fave, 08) I have relied solely on downloaded or default tactics, as I find the slider system too difficult to master. Plus, with the lack of 3d enging, its really difficult to see exactly what is going wrong/right.
I guess what I'm saying is... any tips for me when it comes to creating tactics using the old sliders n arrows?!

I tend to look at the players in my squad, see how many quality players I have in each position and build a formation to suit that. After I have my formation sorted you can decide how much width you play with, decide what style of football you think your team is suited to (sit back deep and defend, the counter attack with pace or attack their goal from the off?) I take that all into consideration, but sometimes, even if a tactic is perfectly sound and should, hypothetically work, it doesn't. I had a great one, it should have worked, but my team just kept losing, so sometimes it's really hit or miss. As for the sliders, you should have a general idea of where you want them to be, after that it's a just a case of playing matches. In my tactic I uploaded, I originally got caught on the counter attack too often, so I set my defensive line to stay further back, and made one of my midfield three a deep lying playmaker almost, he wins the ball and then plays the defence splitting pass. Sorry if this is a load of crap, I;m really tired after new years and am rambling a bit

I'll give it another bash, dont feel like re-starting any of my older saves atm but I'm thinking, when we get the post-window update out, might see if we can't get another challenge going on FM08, and see how my tactics work!!
