    Official FIFA 15 Custom Team Tactics (AI) Thread

    Hey fellas, I'm back!

    Back again with FIFA custom team tactics to hopefully improve your gaming experience. Most of you most likely know the drill—look at the spreadsheet below and input the tactics into your game.

    The tactics don't have as great of an effect this year as past years, but they still seem to add something, so I didn't want to not post them. The spreadsheet is not completely finished yet, but it will be at some point.

    For those of you who are not sure of what these are, there is a FAQ section below. Have questions? Just ask!

    FIFA 15 Custom Team Tactics: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...0E&usp=sharing

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    What exactly are these?
    These are settings to input for teams in the game, so that when you play the AI, you’re playing against them. They’re not settings for the user to use to have an edge against online opponents, or the AI.

    These are Custom Team Tacics, which are set in the Edit Teams or Team Sheets section of the game. The goal of these tactics is to make the AI play more realistically. The original goal of these many years ago was to get the AI to play slower. To not just pass the ball directly up the field, and to actually build an attack, just like a team in real life would.

    [team name] is my favorite team, and those settings don’t reflect how they play. Why?
    None of these are meant to be perfect, and some of them are more guesses than actual estimations. If you see a team that has the wrong tactic assigned to it, politely note that, and I can change it in the spreadsheet if it warrants it.

    Remember, the main goal of these is for teams to play in a realistic manner, not exactly play precisely like their real world counterpart. We want teams to play in a realistic style, and if we can also make them play like they do in real life, great. I have no interest in breaking down mountains of stats to show that team A should not always play like team B. As nerdy as I am about making these, even I just want to stop and enjoy the game at some point.

    Where do I find them?
    Located in the Google spreadsheet at the above link.

    Are these needed to enjoy the game?
    I certainly think so. Although this year the effects of them are less than before, they still add something to the game that is missing, which is teams playing differently from one another. When you play Arsenal, you shouldn’t have more possession than them most of the time. When you play West Ham, you should have to watch out for them hitting you on counter attacks, and so on and so forth.

    Do these need sliders with them?
    They don’t have to, but I strongly suggest it. If you’re not playing the game with custom sliders, you’re not getting the best experience possible. I highly suggest using Matt10’s World Class or Legendary sliders. Matt did tons of testing, and has landed on some great sets.

    How do I put these into the game?
    Edit teams in the Edit Teams or Team Sheets section. The issue with this year's game is that you can not save a tactic, and then select another team to use it. You either have to create the team sheets for each tactic, and then apply that team sheet to other teams, or you go into each team and edit their default team sheet to have the correct tactic.

    Note, if you're creating new team sheets, make sure you select that one as the "favorite", so the AI uses it when playing against them.

    Why is there an error in the spreadsheet? Team A was relegated last year, and should not be in that league.
    I often do these later at night, therefore I’m tired and make mistakes. Notice a mistake in the spreadsheet? Please let me know!

    How do I make sure my squads don’t get overwritten?
    Always save two copies of your custom squad file. When you’re doing editing tactics, save your squad file. Then, save that file again under a different name. This ensures that both of your custom squad files will never accidentally be overwritten.

    Is there an easier way to input these?
    Nope. But, once you do it once, you’re all done.

    Does each tactic have a certain name?
    I have named them this year, but they’re not yet in the spreadsheet. So, in the future, it might be easier to talk about certain tactics.

    Are these really “Official”?
    I don’t know, are they?

      I'm guessing this year, you need to put all the data in for each team before you start your career mode?

          Can this work on xbox 360? I can only find team sheets when I go into career mode,if I edit a default tactic in edit teams I have to save it & assign it to a d pad unless I'm missing something,which is quite possible with a 3 week old daughter who comes alive in the middle of the night!

            Good on ya for putting in such laborious effort.

            Everything looks quite realistic to me besides the pass speed and aggression. Aggression always remains unmodified---why?

            If you have had a clear look at the WC in Brazil you should've realized that aggression is paramount in modern football, as in the Premier league.

            I play both online&offline with Defensive pressure around 78 & aggression on 80 and it shows! Cpu nearly invariably suffers under my high pressure appliance and often becomes quite foolish in execution---same goes for online matches. High pressure and a healthy dose of animalistic aggression is paramount in football.

            I am surprised so few people realize this.

            Look at Barca, 'specially under the reign of Pep. As soon as they lost the ball they applied pressure on the opponent's half like madmen, until they regained ball possession. If that is not aggression and high defensive pressure, what is?

            If you look at CL you'll often see 5 players exhibiting high pressure on the opponent's half---the key to success.

                Yep, same as previous years. Unless you're using Current Customized rosters (I am), in which case you can manually edit the CPU tactics before each match (zzzzz).

                    Just as in past years, it's best to put them all in, and then start a CM using your custom squads.

                    They'll work for last gen, and current gen.

                    I realize it, I just think that FIFA naturally has players apply a decent amount of pressure. The game already moves at a break neck pace, so I don't want teams to be forced to move at an even faster pace.

                    Teams that put more pressure on the ball have a higher pressure setting. Aggression is left at default due to it only doing the same thing as pressure. It's supposed to cause more aggressive tackles, but it generally just applies more pressure.

                      Great stuff, can't wait to input these and get on with a CM.

                      If you are interested, I did some research and found info stating that the following EPL clubs play an offside back line:
                      Arsenal
                      Aston Villa
                      Chelsea
                      Lpool
                      Manu
                      Newcastle
                      Spurs
                      WBA

                      Might help to provide more variety if more than 3 teams play an offside style. I'm all about trying to differentiate how these teams play.

                          Always save two copies of your custom squad file. When you’re doing editing tactics, save your squad file. Then, save that file again under a different name. This ensures that both of your custom squad files will never accidentally be overwritten.
                          Once you input them all, you won't be able to use updated squads without inputing them all over again, unfortunately. Well, as far as I know.

                          Something interesting I noticed this year was after setting some tactics, I then used the online squads in Kick Off mode. But the tactics were still saved within those squads. I could've been imaging it, so make sure you test it.

                            I swear it kept the custom tactics when I downloaded the most recent squad. I thought for sure they'd be lost but it looked like it was tied to my Profile instead of my squad file.

                            I'll have to test again tonight, maybe I wasn't using the newly downloaded squad.

                              That's fantastic news.

                              Still, for anybody already well into a career (like me), I wouldn't bother with starting over just to do add these to all the teams. It's a pretty painless 10 seconds when you start a match to edit the CPU's tactics.

                              Besides, Krebstar has given us a good starting point, but his efforts will (by design) prove to be far from perfect. I'd rather tweak the CPU's tactics manually before the start of a match, as I continue to learn/adapt to FIFA 15's different sliders within tactics. They seem to be quite different than previous versions of FIFA.
