Hey all, back after a year, love the new atari look for the sim games. My only concern is through all of my games played in this season, how the heck can I eliminate the amount of offsides I keep receiving? I've tried moving my forwards back throuhg the advance tactics, but while i'm watching them play, they are always up against the other teams D-line.

Thank you,

Check on your advanced tactics where they are positioned when you are in different positions of the pitch. The ball will highlight where the ball would be in the simulation; you can then edit where you want your players to be in relation to the ball. Hope this helps. 18/04/2012 17:37

this exactly. you need to place your players positions in relation of ball for every possible position of ball on the pitch (there are 35 possible positions, each square counts for one). So it may take you 5-10mins to set up one formation, but trust me, more than worth it in the end

also a short tutorial on how to make formation/tactics: http://uk.strikermanager.com/foros/hilo.php?id=265474

Only having 19 offsides???!? I have maybe 1 or 2 a game. If you are having that many problems, then use the tool that we explained (I believe it is in the formation - configure part of the squad option) and pull your forwards back a little bit.

I have just watched your last game and think that the problem is when the ball is in your own half, You have 3 forwards by the looks of it and need to pull them back just a little bit. I can see that you have used the formation tool to good effect anyway and it has obviously worked very slightly for you when looking at previous games and seeing 25+ offsides (not good!) Try pulling all of them back slightly allowing for midfielders to make shorter passes for you and not just launching it up the pitch
