FIFA 16: Custom Tactics Guide

Build Up Play

This stands for how your team plays in the first 2-thirds of the pitch

Speed:

1-32 is slow build up,
33-66 is medium build up play
67-99 is fast build up play

Passing:

1-32 is short and safe simple passes - Tiki Taka
33-66 is mixed passes so a variation of short and long - Balanced
67-99 is long ball galore - Stoke

Please note that these values work together, if you set the speed to 30 and the passing to 80, that will not work.
It's basicly telling your team you want to build up slow, but to play long balls as much as they can. No logic in that right? I would say the difference between Speed and Passing is maximum 35-40.
for example: Speed: 65 Passing 34

Positioning

This stands for off the ball movement.

Organised: limited movement. Your player will stick to his role and will make space as best he can in that role.
Meaning a CDM will stay back as much as he can, and a RM will try to stay close to the line as much as possible.

Free Form: more freedom for player movement and allows players to move around more to make space, creating more passing options and more diversity to your build up. a RM will be able to cut inside for you to make the killer pass.

Chance Creation

Passing:

This determines if a player will make a risky run to receive through passes.
The higher the number the more runs the players will make.

1-32 is short simple passes to slowly work your way towards goal, like how barcelona plays
33-66 is a mix of short passes and through balls
67-99 your players will make as much runs as possible, expecting the through pass to come.

Crossing

This determines the movement of your strikers when you are close on the wings.How your strikers act when a player is on the wing, if this is high as soon as you get it on the wing a player will bomb into the box expecting a cross, if its low they will hang outside the box or make late runs .

1-32 Little: your players will run towards the wing to receive a short ball.
33-66 Normal: your players will either make a run to receive the cross for a header, or offer himself for the short pass
67-99 Lots: your players will make a lot of runs in the box, waiting for the cross to head it in

Shooting

1-32- Players will not move into good shooting positions, instead they will try to offer themselves for passes and waiting for the forwards to arrive.
33-66 Players will position themselves to get a fair amount of shooting opportunities, a mixture of being in the box and dropping to the edge to get the chance to shoot
67-99 Players will try to get in as many shooting positions possible, mainly by dropping to the edge of the box they will want to the ball to shoot. Basicly you're telling your players to just shoot when you have the ball.

Positioning

same as explained earlier but this time it's meant for the Final Third of the pitch.

Defence

Pressure

This determines how high your team will press up the pitch

1-32 Stay back
33-66 Press till the middle line
67-99 Press as much as you can

Aggression

How aggressive your player will be when the opponent has the ball

1-32 Not charging in on the player, containing
33-66 Close in to the player
67-99 Double charge in on the player, very aggressive

If you set pressure and aggression very low ( < 25 ), your defence will stay very deep.
This is very helpful against people who only play lobbed through balls, since they will be much less effective if your defence is playing this deep.
