SHORT PASSING GAME - Best suited to Teams with a Strong Skill Rating where the Opposition do not have a Strong Tackling Ability. Also useful for slowing the game down to deny the Opposition Possession. NEUTRAL STYLE - An open flowing game where the passing is varied. This will probably give best results where your Team is generally stronger than the oppisition, but a lot will depend on your Team Tactics and the Style of Play and Tactics of the Opposition. LONG BALL GAME - This is useful where you have forwards with a high Rating for Skill and Tackling Ability, particularly if your Midfield is weaker than the opposition's. Also useful for taking the pressure off your Defence and for launching a quick counter attack. DEFENSIVE GAME - Will increase the Quality of your Defending and your Team's Tackling Ability at the expense of your Forward Play. AVERAGE PLAY - This will allow your Team to Play their Natural Game. ATTACKING GAME - Will Increase the Quality of your Attacking Play and your Team's Ability to Retain Possession at the expense of your Defensive Play.
