well... in old system, you can control adding passing to defenders or crossing to full backs... just see where you add it to ...either in PC (more control) or in mobile (less control)...but either way, you still can choose what your player can focus on...
like in the past, i perfect my ST or AML/AMC/AMR has a stronger attack and physical....usually at least 10 points over the defense .... but now... in the new system.... it is hard to have that big different between skills... my new recommend AMR/ST all skills grow are almost equal...my old AMR/ST defense is only 69....attack and physical is 82...that is what i like my player to be...not all skill grow together at the same time... (you know, attack drill has defense skill include...so no matter you training, your attack player still gain defense...no matter what....and in the old system you can avoid that if you didn't put points in defense...)
