Game Plans[]
You will create game plans for your team, which are the blue-prints for how your team is going to play. You can create multiple game plans and save them, then for each match you play you can assign one of these game plans to that match. If you don’t assign one then your current default game plan will be used. You will also make one of these game plans your default game plan that will be always be used if you haven't set a specific game plan for a match.
A game plan contains a powerful number of tactical options which you will have to decide on. These are split into general tactical options and zonal tactical options. General tactical options cover things like how the team sets up for kick-offs or how often they go for drop goals. Zonal tactical options cover things like how you want your team to attack with the ball, the defensive system you want to employ, how strongly you want to commit players to the breakdown and so on.
Setting a Default Game Plan[]
When you first start the game you will have some default game plans and 'Balanced' will be your default game plan for all matches. If you want to change which game plan is your default game plan then bring up the game plan you want on the squad screen game plan area. At the top you will see the name of the game plan and a pencil icon next to it. Click on that icon and it will bring up a screen where you can change edit the game plan name and also has a box which you can tick to make it your default game plan.
Setting A Game Plan For A Specific Match[]
