Never, never, never look at meta tactics and success formulas

I think it's over this time. Since I started playing FM2008 at the age of 13, I have played every game in the series without exception, for thousands of hours. Working the night shift was dreadful for most of my friends, but I enjoyed spending the whole night shift playing FM because it was quiet and calm. But I think it’s over now. FM Arena, YouTube, those (for me) horrible Knap tactics have made it so that every tactic I create inevitably leans towards those "meta" tactics, and even if I succeed, I can't enjoy it. I can't enjoy short passing, high tempo, or pressing anymore because I know those meta tactics also use them. It's not like the football manager for me anymore, it's like try to catch the meta. If i catch, it makes me sad because the winner isn't me or my tactics or my player relationships. It's the meta-like tactic "created" by me.

With Bochum, I won the UEFA Europa League and the UEFA Super Cup, then next season, I eliminated Real Madrid in the Champions League. Was it me who eliminated them, or was it the tactic with high pressing and short passing? Yes, I created the tactic, but many of the instructions overlapped with the meta tactics.

I have 5000 hours in the FM series. My Hoffenheim career, where I broke the league with my regen player named Tchibo, and my FM13 career where I won the UEFA Cup with Braunschweig, are still on my mind, and I smile whenever I think about them. FM Arena, YouTube videos, and especially EBFM videos, I think, have killed my love for the game.

If anyone has advice, I’m open to listening. I miss imagining the goals that a youth player could score after three seasons.
