The combination of tempo and passing direction has always seemed like the great enigma of Football Manager to me. I've been playing for years and have never been sure of fully understanding it. If we also add mentality to the equation, things get even more complicated. Up until now, I've been going with user Carrera's explanation, but it would be very interesting if a developer could share their perspective on this matter. It's a crucial issue, and it always appears to be a recurring question in the forum. Greetings and apologies for my poor English.

Thanks!! Your answers have always helped me a lot. I had the feeling that when the tempo increased the passes were more Direct even from my own half. I used cautious mentality and maybe my tactic lacks passing options together with low risk mentality ... I've been playing FM for more than 10 years and I still don't understand very well how mentality, tempo and pass directness are connected Thanks again, regards!

Hi! I understand that tempo is what a player spend with the ball before making a decisión but... Does tempo affects the direction of the passes? That is, a high tempo could produce more direct or long passes even if your directness pass instructions is pass short? PD: Excuse me, my english is not that good.
