Ohanzee's Tweaked 'Classic' Version of my 10.2 tactic
http://www.filefront.com/15252021/41...-Jul-2010.tac/
This tactic is classic like FM09 so no roles or shouts in this.
Ohanzee's Classic Tactic with my elegant twist on things 'The Hybrid'
http://hotfile.com/dl/22712054/d94fe...2010).tac.html
http://www.sendspace.com/file/jvehtk
i changed a few things from Ohanzee's Version with fullbacks and strikers being the main things the strikers are set differently the Right Striker will be the more creative and the left the more stronger type.
Elephant Stones Tweaked tactic Very good reports about this one as it use's Justified's 'Nike' Defence set-up and it strong at the back with out losing any attacking ability
http://www.sendspace.com/file/tzy7hu
Thanks to Everyone who has tried/commented on the tactic's above thanks very much
Some tweaks that people have made credit goes to ROONEY_08 for this one.
Change the marking on the central defenders to ZONAL and change the marking on the Left and Right Fullback from ZONAL to MAN marking
Credit for this one goes to HAMMER1000.
Just After kick off pause the game and use the RETAIN POSSESION, PASS TO FEET and STAY ON FEET shouts These will help defence out alot also if holding onto a lead you can change the stratagy from overload to defensive
OI's are VERY important strikers left right wide midfielders wingers and ACM's always use these Closing down on these players
Pitch Size:- Smallest

The success I've had with my Previous tactics has been phenominal and thanks to everyone who has contributed and downloaded my tactics i hope you have enjoyed them as much as i have.
Right move onto my new tactic the Ultimo Domination, I decided to make this tactic after having Success with Elephant_Stones tweaked version of my tactic and using the 3 Men strike-force my friend Mike_dodgson Pointed out to me that the classic tactics where perhaps a step backwards and why would SI put the tactic creater in the game if they didn't want us to use it.
I thought about this for a while and though yeah he's right they want us to use the Creater for a reason so with a new lease and more motivation i decided to put all my efforts into making a 3 striker tactic as this has very good success with the new patch 10.2.
This tactic is Narrow and will create alot of chances for the 3 strikers also see the midfielders popping up in the attack positions to and try and nick the odd goal.
This is this Formation of the Ultimo as you can see it's very similar to the complete dominace apart from the 3 striker with the one in the middle is a deep lying striker on support.
I've tested this tactic with 2 middle teams in 2 different leagues.
Bayer Leverkusen i won the league in 29 games they where predicted to finish 8th which is a fantastic acheivement and to be honest this is proberly my easyest league win
As you can see from the screen that i have scored the most goals and conceded the least.
In my other game testing with Huddersfield i wanted to choose a team that is not lower lower league and there media prediction wasn't high.
I'm still playing this and i have only got through 17 games but i haven't lost yet either in the league or the cups i've played in
this is the league table and my fixtures so far
Here is the Link To The Tactic.

Here is the Link To The Tactic. (Updated 13th January with new instructions)
http://hotfile.com/dl/24065451/0b6b1...2010).tac.html
http://www.filefront.com/15357435/Ul... 2010).tac
Updated instructions on January 13th:
i've made some changes to the tactic.
1. I changed the fullbacks closing down.
2. I changed centerback's closing down. (The two of them now have different closing down)
3. I changed the two central midfielders' AND the three Strikers' passing to "direct". (The first notch of direct).
4. You should now use new OI's: Close down always on: ML MR AMR AML. Tight Marking always on: ST (and AMC's)
Updated 22nd January.
Here is my Ultimo V2.
It's a Classic Tactic so no shouts or roles this might upset people (Mike Dodgson LMAO) but it's the only way i could get the team and settings playing exactly how i wnted them to.
I've been testing this for a long time and hopefully this will sort out defensive issues people are having.
On testing i won the league with tottenham it took some time for the team to gel but after that i was flying with convincing wins 4-0 over chelsea at there ground liverpool ect....
this is my final league table as you can see i scored the most goals and conceded the least aswell
haven't been using any OI's so Don't use them.
I was having trouble with the counter of top top teams so if you have this trouble pull the D-line back 2 notches and the full backs mentality back 2 notches aswell.
All the Attributes you need for each position are the same but i would suggest playing you more creative forwards in the left and right striker spot and your more dangerous out and out striker in the middle.
it's a sweeper/stopper defence so you want your more pacy defender on the left as stopper and your more positional composed defender on the right.
here is the link to the tactic i hope you have fun with it.
http://www.filefront.com/15402879/Ul... 2010).tac
Updated 7.02.10
This is V3 I'm releasing it as a BETA cos i might make some more changes as i play more games.
Ask *** man on OI's and Use bubba bay tuna as team talk Reference.
I only use one shout and thats work ball into box Use this as it will stop you having long shots and keep posession better.
If you have a slow defence pull the D-Line back 2 notches other than that leave the tactic as it is.
When i say slow defence i mean like 12/13 for pace and acceleration any thing above that will be ok.
Players attributtes are still the same from the OP so have a look at them if your not sure on what players.
Remember cos i've had this a few times that if you try and sign a player and your *** man says you shouldn't sign him he's only saying that cos his rep isn't good but if he has the attributtes in the right places sign him.

This version use's playmaker and target man these players are your central mid players it don't matter which one is which as they both have the same settings just when you set your team up make sure that they are in the right boxes
the player Requirements you wanna look for.

Deep-Lying Forward

Try these Shouts at the start of the game
Retain Possession
Pass Into Space
Stand-off Opp
Also try the Following OI's at the start aswell
Tight marking ALWAYS on MR ML AML AMR ST
Closing Down ALWAYS on MR ML AML AMR ST
If your managing Lower league and your defence isn't quick you wanna have at least 10 for Pace and Acceleration you could try lowering the D-Line a few notches then when you get better players move it back up to where it was.
If your trying to see out games that are close use the shouts
Change stratagy to Counter
Retain Possession
Clear ball to Flanks
You could also try slowing the tempo and put the time wasting on higher
Use the Smallest Pitch Size Available
Use Bubba Bay Tuna's Team Talks aswell there here http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=182360
I use Tuggs Training.
I've tried to answer all the questions that i'll proberly get asked if you need anything else let me know

Patch 10.3
Mr Hough 10.3 Tactics
Hey, As the new patch is here i thought i'd make a new tactic to go with the new patch.
I've had alot of fantastic feedback from the other threads and tactics i've posted not just on this site but on others aswell which is great considering i've never made tactics before FM10.
Here is screen shots of the 2 tactics i will be releasing one is classic and on is wizard.
http://s461.photobucket.com/albums/qq336/lastorders_2008/?action=view¤t=classic.jpg
http://s461.photobucket.com/albums/qq336/lastorders_2008/?action=view¤t=wizard.jpg
The wizard version is the BETA i released earlier and the Classic tactic is the one i have had the most success with.
The Player Requirements like in any tactic are very important I remember loaning a player called Mike Hanke and someone posted "Mike Hanke @ everton ? He is one of the worst 1st division players in germany". Mike hanke for me has scored 33 goals in 51 games.
The point i'm making is you a team of great players but if they don't have the right attributtes for the tactic then they won't play as good.
Keeper. Aerial Ability Command of area Handling One on Ones Reflexes Positioning Agility.
Fullbacks. Tackling - Marking Positioning Teamwork Workrate Anticipation Stamina.
Central Defenders. Marking Tackling Positioning Heading Determination Anticipation Pace Jumping.
Anchor Man. Heading Marking Tackling Anticipation Concentration Decisions Positioning Workrate Team Work Strenth.
Central Midfielder. First Touch Passing Decisions Off The Ball Positioning Teamwork.
Advanced Forward. Dribbling Finishing First Touch Composure Off The Ball
Deep Lying Forward. Creativity Decisions First Touch Off The Ball Technique Passing.
Pitch Size: Minimum.
Training: Tuggs Training.
Team Talks: Can be found here I think these are the most effective http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php?t=182360
Opposition Instructions: I have been using any at all, I will be testing using them and not using them to see what happens.
I won the quadruple in my first season at everton my only signings where. Mike Hanke Baris Ozbek on loan signings and in january Ben Sahar also on loan
http://s461.photobucket.com/albums/qq336/lastorders_2008/?action=view¤t=quadruple.jpg
I tested with huddersfield on holiday mode thoughout the season i bought in 2 players nathan tyson and danny butterfield

Here is the link to the Classic Tactic. The one i used with everton and huddersfield
