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.
