About the attack/defense level.
If the level is raised when attacking, the defense will push up the attacks will become more
effective. On the other hand, if you lower the level your team will be less vulnerable to the
counter-attack.
If the level is raised when you are defending, defenders will play aggressively to win the ball
and the opposition's passing options will be reduced. If the level is lowered, the defense
will drop back in numbers to defend. With this function you can move your defensive line
forward and back.
If you adjust the level to the maximum, either attack or defense, all players on the team will
move to defend or attack accordingly, regardless of their individual attack/defense
mindedness settings. A defensively-minded player can be made to move forward to attack.
(See p. 43 for explanations about the Adjusting Attack/Defense Level option on the
Match/Game Screen.)
Defense System
Choose your defensive strategy.
Normal - If a defensive player does not have individual mark settings, the player will mark
an opposition player that enters his own zone.
Sweeper - A system where one player is kept as a "spare" while other players mark the
opposition players. The sweeper must be selected. In this system, when a player is
designated as the sweeper, you will be unable to change his mark settings.
Line Defense - The back defensive line moves as a unit to preserve its formation. When
this option is selected, you cannot change the mark settings.
Team Strategy
Select team strategies. These settings may also have an effect on other strategy settings.
Back line - Moving the back line forward causes the defense to play further forward.
Zone press - This setting causes multiple defenders to approach the opponent ball carrier.
Offside trap - The defensive line will move forward and play the offside trap.
Counter attack - No matter where the ball is, on player will play well forward in an attacking
position.
A: The strategy will be actively pursued, but the players will tire quickly.
B: The strategy will be pursued at a normal level.
C: The strategy will not be pursued very actively, but the players will tire slowly.

Setting Strategy
A maximum of four strategies can be set. There are two
Strategy Modes: Semi-Auto and Manual. In Semi-Auto Mode,
one of the four strategies is executed by the player, and the
other three are executed automatically. The strategies are
executed by pressing the L2 button. In Manual Mode, the
player executes all four strategies. A strategy is assigned to
each of the Ω, ≈, ç, and √ buttons, and these strategies are
executed individually during matches by pressing the relevant
button together with the L2 button. The names of the strategies
are not displayed during matches, so you will have to
remember which strategy is assigned to which button. All four
strategies can be executed at the same time.
