play the game and fail, you will fail once, twice, maybe 10 times but in every carreer you'll learn something new and u will become better ^^


Thanks for the reply, but I think my problems run deeper than that. For example, as I'm watching the match I can see what I might perceive to be problems in what my team is doing. But I don't know what the corrective actions are due to my lack of understanding of football itself and the options and descriptions of those options that are available to me. As a comparison, I know baseball quite well. I know what each player's job is and what he's supposed to do. If something is not working on a field I know what to change, and I know what tactical approaches to take in a given situation. I don't have that same knowledge when it comes to football.

That's exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. There's just so much data at one's fingertips in this game that I probably never would have found that.

Is it possible without having a history of football in your life? What I mean by this is that I really don't know how my squad should be used. I don't have the knowledge or understanding to have a vision of what they should be doing other than trying to put the ball in the net. I look at all of the team instructions and player instructions and basically my response is, 'I don't know if they should be trying this or not.' Where should I start in gaining understanding of my players and how I should be using them? I'm fearing that this lack of instinct and knowledge could become a detriment in the enjoyment of a game that I really like. I get lucky and win some matches, but I guarantee you it's not because I know what I'm doing as a coach. Are there any comprehensive resources that can get me on the right path? I want to do more than just play; I want to be able to make good decisions.

So I've decided on who I want to be my primary players, backups, rotation, etc. What's the best way of keeping track of this? The tactics screen doesn't seem to be the best approach since players move in and out of that according to injury, fatigue, etc. Is there a place where I can keep my default team layout for easy reference and it stays stationary until I change it?

Thanks for the clarification. I'm really only looking to change team names. As an American not familiar with European football it's more helpful for me to see, for example, 'Real Madrid' than 'R. Madrid'.

I made some name changes in the editor and want to merge them into the database being used by my saved game. When I select the file option to Merge Editor Data it prompts me for a file name. What file am I attempting to merge with and where would it be located? I'm assuming it's the database I originally loaded, but where is that located on disk so that I can merge?
