F.A.Q's(EXCLUSIVE)

[Tactician]

1. Why players face higher level opponent in cup?
Ans: Ask Nordeus. I like the idea of facing an opponent in a level above. This provides additional challenges, but 3 or more levels above is not appropriate.

2: Which is most trusted formation of all time?
Ans: Ask most users of T11 (this means: do not take into account only what is said from users of this forum; the amount of forum users here is only a small fraction of the total amount of users).

3: Hard defending means more tackles?
Ans: Not sure. Some things that occur in this game goes against the logic of football.

4: Special abilties depends on player's quality also?
Ans: Most probably, yes, but there might be something else involved.

5: Arrows on player change mentality of players?
Ans: Most probably, yes, but some times arrows have shown to have the reversed effect on the players or no effect at all (flaw or bug?).

6: Offside traps works best with zonal marking?
Ans: Not sure.

7: Watching live match gives us win advantage?
Ans: Yes.

8: Low pressing style result in good offside traps?
Ans: Both low pressing and high pressing can be used with offside trap. In fact, in terms of football logic, offside trap can be more suitable with high pressing.

9: Special abilities does not depend on player skills?
Ans: It does depend on the players skills, but as said in one of the answers above, there seems to something else that affect it.

10: Does watching live match makes us sure winner?
Ans: No.

11: Is it better to play 2 competitions each season if you are non-token buyers?
Ans: This is subjective and depends on a lot of things.

12: Man-on-man marking and high press intake more player's condition?
Ans: This has been confirmed by Nordeus.

13: How to save our player's from injuries?
Ans: Nothing much can be done when some things have been decided against you (see the posts in this thread: http://forum.topeleven.com/bugs-tech...-injuries.html).

14: 4-5-1v is best formation besides some drawback why?
Ans: Is that a joke? 4-5-1(V) is one of the best counter-attacking formation and that's it. This formation is overrated here by some users of this forum. There is no best formation as such; the best formation(s) to be used depends on what the opponents will use. But, some formations can be classified as generally better than others.

15: It is better to counter opponent formation than countering opponent weakness?
Ans: Both are important, but in my opinion, the general guideline is to give the first the priority.

16: Goalkeeper can take free kicks,corner kicks,plenty kick?If yes then how much risky it can be?
Ans: It seems that Nordeus have missed a lot of things concerning GKs in this game. There is no risk as the events of successful counter-attacks or long shots after a GK has given the ball away after participating in a set-piece do not seem to exist in this game.

17: Counter attacks works best with low press.What can be reverse outcome of it?
Ans: Do some tests and come back with the results.

18: Dribbler special ability can break man on man marking or play maker can break it?
Ans: I have not tested this. Also both special abilities are very absent in this game; the dribbler special ability has never been reported to be shown during a game.

19: Does easy tackles means soft tackles?
Ans: I think I have seen cases where even when soft tackle has been given as instructions, there have been more fouls or yellow cards.

20: Passing style is flexible like other orders?
Ans: What do mean by flexible? Flexible would be mixed passing, isn't it?

21: Why striker does not scores if we uses attacking midfielders?
Ans: This depends on the orders and the formations used, but also this game has a lot of flaws.

22: Special abilities have hidden skills points which are added to player's skills?
Ans: The overall quality of the player seems to be affected until the player has completed the training, that is after the amount of skill points required for unlocking the special ability has been reached. If you meant that special abilities provide boosts in certain specific attributes, then the answer is probably yes.


23: Do foot matters in taking free kicks or corners?
Ans: Not 100% sure, but based on indications observed during matches, especially those in 2015, there may be some relation between effectiveness and footedness.

24: Aerial defender is good in scoring during corner kicks?
Ans: I have noticed some effects, but more observations are needed.

25: There is need to train defensive skills to attackers and vice versa?
Ans: This goes against the logic of football, but in this game some things have been known to go against the logic of football. But, an attacker with good defensive skills will likely be more efficient for high pressing. So, whether or not to train the defensive skills of attackers depends on the manager's style of play.

26: Backward arrow on defender and forward arrow on striker makes sense?
Ans: A lot of testing needs to be done on this. Sometimes arrows seem to work and sometimes they don't seem to work as they should. that is as instructed, and sometimes the effects are negative.

27: Counter attacks does not works with short passes and high press?
Ans: The combination of forcing counter-attacks, high pressing and short passing goes against the logic of football, but as I have said before, there are things in this game that are football 'nonsense' .

28: The best striker is one who knows one-on-one soccer?
Ans: No. There also seems to be hidden effects on individual players in this game. So, a player might well have good qualities and be a one-on-one scorer, but will still perform badly or not to the expected standards.

29: It is better to have some experienced players rather than all young players?
Ans: More observations are required for this to draw a valid conclusion.

30: Does form of last match decide performance in next match?
Ans: Yes and no. But, some players that seem to have been affected negatively by hidden effects in this game, will perform badly in general for the whole season.

31: Morale has any impact on player's performance?
Ans: There is some relation, but it does not seem to be like it should. That is, a player might have a bad morale, you boost his morale and he performs better, but there are also cases where a player's morale has been boosted and yet the he performed more badly than in the previous. It could be that there is something random involved in that. That is, the act of boosting or changing a player's morale is a random switch.

32: What is best way of choosing captain of squad?
Ans: The captain has been said to have no effect on the game. But, I have noticed some changes. It could be due to other things, that is not due to the change in the captain's list as such. There could be a random switch about this feature too.

33: It is better to use easy tackles?How much we can save ourself from fouls by doing so?
Ans: I think that this setting and whatever is involved with it does not function properly in this game. You might still get a lot of cards despite using easy tackles. Also, there have been screenshots posted on this forum where it showed that there were more tackles made when easy or normal tackling was used as compared to a harder tackling setting.

34: What must be our bidding limit in auction to save ourself from bidding wars?
Ans: This depends a lot on the budget of the user. If a user has say 15 T only, and has to buy at least a few players, 2-3 tokens per player is the advised limit. But, if a user has say 100 tokens, he can continue to bid in the higher knock-out rounds. Generally, it is Nordeus that benefits most from this feature; neither the seller nor the buyer. The same applies for other features such as negotiations,

35: How morale of player's increases and decreases?
Ans: Tests must be done to draw some valid conclusions about this. Based on the observations so far, it likely that the recent performance of the player, randomness and other things are involved in it.

There are some things in this game or that happen in this game that don't make much sense, especially in terms of football.
