button when the Help icon appears.
Main Menu
The Main Menu has been introduced as an easy-to-use front end. It offers the following options:

and defensive instructions (the longer the arrow, the more concerned a player will be with breaking up attacks rather than taking part in them).
Changing the Status Display: Press the N or B button to switch through the different pages of the Status Display. These show player positions, stamina and condition, yellow and red cards, and set-piece takers. In Master League mode, or if you have the “Cumulative Fatigue” option active during league and cup competitions, an additional gauge will appear beneath the players’ Stamina bars as they participate in successive matches. As this gauge fills, a player’s ability to regain stamina will be reduced, and he will become more susceptible to injury.

Edit Position
Select a player, move his button icon with the directional buttons, and then press S to confirm his new position. Press the A button with a player selected to change his specific role, for example, central midfielder (CMF), full-back (SB) or striker (CF). Each player specializes in one or more predefined areas of play, so a side midfielder (SMF) may also be comfortable playing as a winger or central midfielder. It’s important to note that putting a player out of position can lead to invisible ability penalties, reflecting his unfamiliarity with that role.

button, and the AI activates the other three at its discretion), and Full Auto (all chosen strategies are under AI control). Strategy Plan A/Strategy Plan B: Use these options to configure additional formations that can be assigned to Manual Strategy buttons via the Strategy menu. You could, for example, create one system with an offensive emphasis to use while striving for a late equalizer, or establish a highly defensive formation to preserve a slender lead during the closing minutes of a tight match.
Team Strategy: Adjust the behavior of your defensive line to suit your playing style. Back Line is used to determine how deep (C) or high (A) up the pitch your defensive line will sit. The “Offside Trap” option is used to specify how often your defenders should push up to catch opposing players offside, from frequently (A) to rarely (C). Caution: adjusting these options to “A” can lead to your defenders tiring more quickly during a match.
Attack/Defense: The Attack/Defense gauges appear at the bottom of the screen during a match and indicate a team’s current attitude, from defensive (blue) to attacking (red). You can adjust these manually in all modes aside from Full Auto, see General Controls, page 7.
Manual: You manually change the Attack Level during a match. Defensive (auto): The AI adjusts the gauge towards defense only. Balanced (auto): The AI controls both attack and defense. Attacking (auto): The AI adjusts the gauge towards attack only.
Recommended (full auto): The AI assumes complete control of the Attack/ Defense gauge.
Mark Settings: Select “Mark Key Player,” and the appropriate member of your team will man-mark the opposition’s most dangerous player. Select “Disengage marking” to undo this change.
Select Set Piece Taker: Choose players to take corners, free kicks, and penalties. If you select “Auto Settings,” the AI will automatically pick these for you.
Select Captain: Use this to award the captain’s armband to a member of your first eleven.
Change Settings: The two options in this menu enable you to assign responsibility for player substitutions and positional changes to the AI.
Individual
Use this option to give each player specific instructions for the forthcoming match. Attack: Assign up to two directional arrows to indicate runs a player should make while your team is in possession. This could be used to instruct a full-back to provide greater support during attacks along his touchline, or for a central midfielder to make runs into the penalty area.
Defense: Adjust how actively the player will track back to defend. This can be set to “High,” “Normal,” or “Low.”
Mark Settings: By default, all players in your team are assigned to zonal marking. Use this option to instruct a player to man-mark a specific member of the opposing team. Use the “Normal” or “Aggressive” settings to determine how closely your player should mark his opponent. Select “Disengage marking” to return to zonal marking. Sweepers cannot be given man-marking duties.
Edit Position: Change a player’s position on the pitch.
Select Role: Pick a player’s specific role, for example, should a midfielder play as a DMF or CMF?
