Like someone else pointed out, my main issue with Josh's posts is that its extremely clear hes not being honest with his tests. You can download his tactics, simulate AND manually play a full season ten different times with the same teams as his posts and I guarantee you'll never get the results he got. Idk if hes save-scumming or boosting player stats, frankly I dont care, but its a shame because its disingenuous and low effort content which radically lowers this site's quality.

Another issue I have is that whenever he uploads a tactic emulating some real manager, the tactic plays nothing like how the actual teams set up in real life. In fact, if you download five random tactics of his from the past month, and check the instructions and such... youll realise they are all pretty much the same with some small, insignificant changes here and there. His posts just scream low effort and recycled material.

All of these + the click-baity titles lead to believe hes being purposely misleading in order to get views and donations in his youtube channel, which again, significatly lowers the quality of this forum.
