[ColdER]

left side , right side , counter and zone press

 

[bnolan]

yeah

how efective are they and do they enhance your experience of the game?

always thought about using them but never tried

Using CB overlap is useful for possession. You have an extra man to pass to when building up around the oppositions 18 yards box. If you play 3-5-2 then you can spare a man from the back three anyway - it is just a waste having 3 of them stuck there. If you use it be sure to pick the CB with higher stamina since he must get up and down the field more.

No-one I ever play against uses 'em.
Just tend to set the tactics on the "formation" menu & change it if it's not working.
Don't think many people would lose sleep if Konami ditched it, to be honest.
I for one, would rather have say, a visible ref/better commentary etc etc

 

[Waiting For Incoming]

Yep I would prefer to see the ref also like the old ISS's

 

[lazandreas]

ive always been interested in this, how do u set it up? obviously through formations, is that right?

 

[MatPhillips]

i dont actually use the tactic buttons but i play counter attack styley!

my mates always say its like i play a formation of 5-5-5. say i use Ferdinand to tackle some one, i run up the pitch and when he gets tackled and they hoof the ball back into my box he's there too! same with strikers. i use one to head a corner away, it goes up the pitch and he's there too lol

I'm glad someone has explained that, it was the one strategy I couldn't fugure out. Is effectively the same as the CBT playing 'Libero'?
