Pro Evolution Soccer 2014/Tactics

Tactics

Tactics are predetermined slider Team Style (slider) configurations which are designed to have a team play in a particular style.

Tactics	Description
Long Ball	Play a tight backline that can win back possession and play long balls to launch counter attacks.
Quick Counter	Pressure the opposition deep in the their half and launch quick counters on winning back possession.
Possession Game	Get players to move in a way which suits possession football.
All-out Defence	Keep the Backline deep at all times when defending. Once in possession, the team will take the initiative through ball retention.
All-out Attack	The team piles forward with almost every player joining the attack.

Team Style

Almost exclusively referred to as sliders, Team Style takes the form of eight adjustable team attributes which can freely be changed from 0 to 20. The attributes will largely dictate the style of football a team plays during a match.

Team Style	Description
Player Support	The higher the value, the more the players lay emphasis on ball retention when positioning themselves. On a lower level, they will look to maintaining the team's overall shape.
Support Range	The higher the level, the more players tend to spread themselves out when looking to receive passes.
Position Switch	The higher the level, the more frequently the players switch positions.
Front line pressure	The higher the level, the more pressure that will be applied by players in advanced positions.
Defensive Line	The higher the level, the further up the pitch the defensive line will be.
Defensive Compactness	The higher the level, the more compact the team's overall shape becomes when defending.
Shifting to Attack	The higher the level, the more the players tend to maraud forward when defence turns into attack. Conversely on a lower level, the players will tend to lay more emphasis on retaining possession and will position themselves in such a manner.
Attack/Defence Level	The higher the level, the more the players tend to take up advanced positions. This affects the number of players who join the attack in set pieces.
