FM Tactics Podcast Episode 2 – Reading the Match Engine

FM Tactics Podcast Episode 2 – Reading the Match Engine

GetSacked! is back the Football Manager tactics podcast from FM-Britain. Matt vom Brocke (The next Diaby) and Gareth Millward (Millie) answer your questions about everything FM related, including:

  • Has the new tactics creator made the game harder? – now it’s much easier to create tactics, is reading the match engine now more important than ever?
  • Defending – how do you go about plugging those leaks in your defence?
  • And that pesky AI – how can you tell whether it’s attacking or defending?

Plus, we discuss real life football and how it relates to the game, answer more of your questions in the quick-hits section, and general footballing goodness. All on GetSacked! The Football Manager Tactics Podcast.

And we also keep track of the goings on in the various scene forums!

With thanks, as ever, to those who submitted the questions for this week: SFraser, @tomedeira, @Bonus_Mosher, James Gary Wibberley, J’Vaughn Jacobs Esq., Andrew Oppong, ZdlR, vasilli07, Beardeye, @ObtuseMusings

About the Author // Gareth Millward

Member of the beta testing team and FM-B Think Tank and one of the main authors and editors of FM-B’s tactical guides and e-books, Millie organises the content for the main site. He has a particular interest in the history of football tactics (probably because in real life he is an historian) and in recreating real-world football in the FM match engine.

The most definitive guide to Football Manager tactics ever created - all new for this year's game! Written beta match engine testers, you will not find this information published elsewhere! Last year's version was downloaded over 200,000 times! Recommended personally by Paul Collyer, co-founder of Sports Interactive!
