I play 99% of my games on Standard at the moment, it suits me, it suits my team and the way I play. Now, I play a 4-2-3-1, and one of my central midfielders has 'Shoot From Distance' ppm, as does my striker.
When my tactic is in it's prime, is when I have 'Work Ball Into Box' unselected, I focus a lot on overlapping and getting crosses into the box, and this works a treat. However, this comes as a cost because by not having WBIB selected, it triggers my two players shooting ppms, and let's just say I am not a fan of long shots on this game. My ST (who I have trained to be able to run at players as he has 20+19 pace and acceleration and 19 finishing), will start running but as soon as he gets within 25 yards he will fire a shot from range, regardless of whether he's through on goal or not, instead of running clean through and slotting one in - which he does when WBIB is selected.
When Work Ball Into Box is selected though, my players opt to hold the ball up and slow play down which obviously allows the opposition to get bodies back, therefore it completely takes crossing out of my tactic.
In short, I just really wish the Work Ball Into Box instruction was completely removed, and replaced with multiple specific instructions, because at the moment it's a case of my tactic being able to cross the ball but not create 1v1s often or retain possession, or be able to create 1v1s but not be able to cross.
Just a rant really, potentially a topic for discussion.
