Title: dead ? Post by: Monkey Rayjinn on June 30, 2004, 02:23:41 pm so did everybody stop playing hattrick
i need you all to show your trainees here... Title: dead ? Post by: Devlyn_inetcafe on June 30, 2004, 04:06:21 pm Not at all! On the contrary, I'm going quite well in Hattrick!
It's just that I am still training my old trainees, and that I'm quite inactive on the transfer market :). Title: dead ? Post by: Job on July 01, 2004, 04:24:49 am Same thing with me, though i'm expecting 2 or 3 increases tomorrow, so i'll post them here for show off :).
BTW, i promoted to IV and managed to win my first match but i'm quite sure i won't be able to avoid auto-demotion, though i did get an outstanding midfield without MOTS'ing and with only a composed TS :). I also changed my logo, bought a formidable forward, a formidable defender and a guy with solid passing and excellent set pieces for counter-attacking. My next league match will be against a team with a good midfield, and though they will surely PIC and my TS is satisfied (meaning i could get a formidable-outstanding midfield) i'll still go for counter-attacking. I'm interested to see how well i can do with the CA strategy which i plan to be using alot. I have a defender with passable passing, another with solid passing, and my formidable defenseman has weak passing so i should have around an excellent counter-attacking ability. I'm going to play 5-3-2 with my wingers and wingbacks offensive and my only inner-midfielder towards the right wing, which should produce a mythical to magical right attack. I'll also have a guy with excellent set pieces, three guys (including my two forwards) with head ability and two quick wingers to produce some serious goal events :). Title: dead ?

Did i mention i''m trining winger now already ? I've spent some Cash ( 4mil ) to buy some good trainees I never used to be a training type, but they fucked up the free market Title: dead ? Post by: Devlyn on July 01, 2004, 11:11:49 pm Sounds like a wise decision! Hopefully you'll soon find your way to higher leagues :D.
-Devlyn, who is really curious about tomorrow's update. Title: dead ? Post by: Job on July 04, 2004, 03:29:16 am A guy in my series is still daytrading. Imagine all the business he gets now that there's so much less people scanning the market for daytrading material.
Title: dead ? Post by: Bobo on July 04, 2004, 12:48:06 pm Job dont rely too much on CA, I tried it a lot and with 5 defenders and a CA-skill of Brilliant but it sure isnt that good. I won a couple of matches with it but that was cause the difference between midfields werent that big. This info offcoarse is based on the last season-setting, hopefully CA will rule but I doubt it.
Title: dead ? Post by: Job on July 09, 2004, 04:35:51 am Did you have a good attack? I haven't deployed my counter-attack strategy yet because my midfielders are up in form and my TS is very good. I plan on using it this week because my opponent pulls a magnificent midfield without trouble, but has only a passable central attack, especially now that he has an injured forward. Besides, he was the series' champion last season, so if i lose it won't be a big deal. :)
Title: dead ? Post by: Tomahawk on July 09, 2004, 08:41:38 pm I think CA has been improved since... I have seen inferior teams pull out draws (usually 1-1) with it, but it doesn't seem to be a definite winner strategy.
It works if your team is slightly worse, but don't expect a miracle... Also, completely abandoning the inner midfield doesn't seem like a good idea to me... regularly, there's ten chances per match... say you get 40% possession, means you get 4 out of 10 chances. If you completely abandon the midfield you get zero chances... for a counter attack, he needs to attack first and then you get a CHANCE to counter. So... why bother getting a chance for a counter attack, if you can get a few certain attack by putting a good midfielder up? Or am I on a side track here? Title: dead ? Post by: Job on July 10, 2004, 03:17:13 am I agree on the midfielder. I'm playing him towards wing just so that i can get a really high attack rating, like mythical or magical :). Even if that does cost me the game, there's times in life where you just need to show off, even if it's to one's disadvantage.
Title: dead ? Post by: Tomahawk on July 10, 2004, 07:36:23 pm So... if it fucked up your game, you'd do it anyway for the bragging rights?
Title: dead ? Post by: Job on July 11, 2004, 03:29:55 am That's right.
Title: dead ? Post by: Job on July 11, 2004, 09:52:37 pm All right, i decided on a plain 4-4-2 CA strategy. My midfield will be around inadequate because i'm PIC'ing and CA'ing.
Title: dead ? Post by: Tomahawk on July 12, 2004, 07:37:56 am I played a 5-4-1 Counter and got royally whupped.
Title: dead ? Post by: Job on July 12, 2004, 05:26:40 pm :( I was winning 2-1, but then in the last thirty minutes my opponent scored two goals. I think i would've at least tied had i not lost one of my forwards to a red card.
Title: dead ? Post by: Devlyn on July 13, 2004, 03:43:30 pm Bummer dude :(. I did not have much luck myself.
Despite a superior midfield I lost 6-2 T_T Title: dead ? Post by: Monkey Rayjinn on July 15, 2004, 04:18:59 am 1. Loosvogels FC 3 7 - 5 6
