The Build-up play tactics section only affects play in the first two-thirds of the pitch when you have possession. Nothing here affects how your defenders will perform anywhere, only how the AI will try to help you literally, build up your play. If you lose possession, the tactics switch to those you've assigned for the defensive part of your custom tactics, which We will talk about later. Build-up play is extremely important; whether you’re a build slowly type of player or someone who likes to attack with pace and directness this setting will help you achieve better success.
Speed
The speed setting is very important for your tactics set-up. Speed in build-up play relates to the movement of your players off the ball and the way you want to pass. It is important to realize that this does not influence the speed of your passing but the way you maintain possession.
Slow: Set the slider to slow if you are a possession junkie. Players will be selective and cautious when making their forward runs and instead, will try to find good space for themselves to give them room to receive a pass rather than making forward runs. Remember, anything less than 34 will trigger this set to go into the 'slow' category of speed. Expect your players to get into a position to receive the ball but not necessarily make a run with it, which means more passes to feet and less into space.
Balanced: Like all of the middle grounds of the settings, anything above 34 and below 66 will mean mixed results between the extremes of the current tactical aspect. Use a setting right in the middle (around 50) if you don't have a particular preference, anything above or below won't differ too much but will lean towards one or the other.
Fast: Set the slider to fast when you prefer the counter-attacking style of play and prefer to get the ball to the front as quickly as possible. Your team members know you want to build-up play quickly and will, therefore, react to forward passes and will make the extra effort to get forward as quickly as they can. This can have an effect on your players’ stamina and leave you vulnerable at the back so adopt these setting carefully. This puts more emphasis on your forwards and advanced midfielders (still affecting the first two-thirds of the pitch) and less on your defenders. Values above 66 will put your passing into the fast category.
Tips: Build-up speed is one of the most important tactics so you need to be choosing the right kind of balance. As EA develop the game, with each title that they release, build-up play requires more patience and possession more ever before. Therefore, use a balanced speed (between 30 and 50) for your general play. Of course alter this is you are chasing the game or indeed, seeing a game out for a crucial win for example.
Passing
Try to understand that this setting is more of a way of controlling what the AI will expect from you when you're on the ball rather than the types of passes they or you will actually play. In a way, it’s a chance for you to input your own personal programming of the game; allowing for you to program the AI to be proactive in their positioning based on your personal preferences. The most important factor to be aware of when modifying this is your average passing distance so that the AI can position the players you're likely to pass to on the field of play.
Short: Teams such as Barcelona and Arsenal use this type of passing to their advantage. Players will always show short for the ball and provide quality passing angles for the players in possession of the ball. This will stop players running in behind defenses or making runs into channels but if you work the ball up the field using patience and small, sharp passes then this is the option for you. Don't expect support from your forwards if you're dribbling with a defender. Surrounding defenders and CDMs will look to position themselves to take the pressure off of you by providing a goof passing angle/option before redistributing it to other nearby players. Further off-the-ball players won't really do much beyond what the rest of the tactics dictate. However, if your CF or STs are the types of players with high work rates and like to drop off they will join in but high work rate strikers will continue to be on the shoulder of the last defender instead of tracking back to pick up a potential deeper pass.
Mixed: In regards to this setting, the same +/- 50 will see a mixed style of passing. If you like to mix up your style of passing and like players to drop short sometimes but also like them to go long sometimes then choose your slider mark for this accordingly.
Long: If you prefer to play long passes, looking for changes over the top for a quick front man or to find a target man then these settings will suit you best. Your players furthest from the ball will attempt to find space instead of your team members closer to the ball who will anticipate the long pass being played. If you often pass from CB to CAM/CF or from CDM to Wingers/ST, then this setting will benefit that style of play. Otherwise, those positions will remain fairly idle when your deeper players have the ball. If you put this all the way to the end, your forwards will probably spend a bit of time offside and tracking back if they didn't get the pass. Also leaves you vulnerable to offside-traps if you're not careful,
most camera angles don't allow you to see the opposition defense so using the radar is key with this setting. We wouldn’t recommend having the slider all the way to the top if you are using this setting no more than 80 would still be workable for the long passing style of play.
Tips: Our advice is to use a short passing setting (between 30 and 20) and try to tweak them slightly to suit your preferred style. If you prefer mixed passing then obviously set the bar a little higher but U4GM FIFA 20 Coins find the players runs slightly unpredictable with this setting Also, after the first touch control feature was introduced on FIFA 13 the easier you can make the pass to receive for your players the better. The long balls setting is something I would suggest avoiding unless you are a very confident passer and have great passers of the ball in your team, they will then be able to take advantage of that much-discussed lobbed through the ball!
Positioning - Both the build-up play and chance creation sections have a positioning option at the end of them, you get to choose either 'free form' or 'organized'. Which you choose lies solely within you, just be sure not to pick one that may conflict with your other tactics.
Free Form VS Organised: Organised is definitely the safer option of the two and is the one U4GM FIFA 20 Coins often choose for our tactics. Free Form works best If you have a lot of players in the first two thirds so they can interchange positions. This obviously makes you harder for the opposition players to pick your players up. If you have a formation that places members of your squad in specific roles that you want them to keep. Organized positioning will maintain a strict build-up style where you can rely on your players being where they should be on the field. Freeform can give your players more freedom in their play; they will make runs out of position and sometimes swap and interchange position with other players on your team. Advantages are that you are more dangerous in attack and less predictable but with loss of possession, your team shape could be largely unstructured.
Tips: Organised is definitely safer and less dangerous when you lose possession so this is a good option to take if you are not sure. However, free-form is less predictable and will give you far more attacking options when in possession. we would say with the Attacking Intelligence improvements that are always being made, there is no real huge need for free-form. This one is down to individual preference, U4GM much prefer the organized set-up as it is less risky and by playing around with other custom tactics you can still get the desired movement to make you a threat going forward.
