whats the Difference between a SUPPORTing player and a ATTACKing player?

As in movement when team is in possession.

Support tends to prioritize passing before shooting and they will usually not go as forward as attacking players. This way they can recover the ball and restart an attack. Attacking players will try to score unless it's very difficult, and if so they will pass it. Attacking players off the ball are more likely to go for runs and try to find space as well as cut inside if they are inside forwards or wingers.

Just read the description in the game, it gives a pretty good impression:

Advanced Playmaker: "With a support duty, the advanced playmaker will stay in the hole and look to spray passes to support players and forwards."

"With an attack duty, the advanced playmaker will look to run at the defensive line from deeper positions, aiming to craft out crossing or through ball opportunities as he moves into the final third."

Inside Forward: "With a support duty the inside forward will cut diagonally into the space behind the defence and play through balls or take long shots if the opportunity arises."

"With an attack duty, the inside forward will run directly at the defence with the options of shooting, passing or crossing as he moves into the final third."

Complete Forward: "With a support duty, the complete forward will look to drop into space, run at the defence, take long shots, drive to the flanks or play balls through the defensive line."

"With an attack duty the complete forward will lead the line, spearheading attacks and crafting out chances for himself and others."
