Therefore, to shoot from range, high-scoring is required, and to enter the area and shoot, high-dribbling is required.
Also, a good keeper can stop long-range-shoots and defenders can stop forwards' dribble with their `tackling´ skill.
- Pass to anyone or Passes always to the same player:
Soon.
- Try to shoot or Cross the balls:
To cross the ball to the area, wingers use their `passes´ skill. Rival defenders will use their `defending´ skill to stop crosses. Also, a winger will cross the ball as long as the forwards `scoring´ skill is better than his own `scoring´ skill.
- Zonal defense or Man mark:
Soon.
- Personal attitude:
It is possible to choose how much effort the players will put. If you don't choose any personal attitude, the player will play as chosen to the whole team.
