thomit Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Think about "go route one" as a "more direct passing" instruction on steroids. "Pump ball..." does pretty much what it says on the tin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad123 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 thomit's explanation is pretty much it. Go Route One has the same effects as More Direct Passing - extra width, tempo and passing length - but more dramatic. Pump Ball Into The Box encourages players to hit the ball long and into the box.

Lord Rowell Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I think there's a bit more to this. IIRC - go route one is certainly just a more exaggerated version of direct passing However, I think "Pump Ball into the box" affects mentality of your central players and your full backs. I believe it is an exaggerated version of "exploit the middle" so your full-backs stay back and launch it forward into the centre for your forwards and midfielders to run onto. Edit: I was close. This is from Tactical Theorems 10, I doubt its changed much if at all. Pump Ball Into BoxEffect: Instructs the team to play long balls in to the opposition penalty area to try to get an advantage. Action: Large increase in passing length but decrease in try through balls for defenders and defensive midfielders, tells players to play with less wide play, makes full backs and wingers hold up the ball, increases forward runs for forwards, sets maximum crossing for full backs, focus passing through the centre. Useful: When needing a goal late on in the game; when possessing taller and/or stronger forwards than the opposition defenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
