They'll do it regardless and how often is linked to the players attributes and not any team setting.

At the risk of sounding stupid: which attributes would that be? Or are they hidden ones?

Great post.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how player mentality affects player traits?

For example, if I have a player with the 'Tries killer balls often' trait, will a lower mentality reduce the number of 'killer balls' this player will attempt? And a higher mentality increase it?

Or do those traits work independently of mentality?

Does anyone know if the different team mentalities change settings 'under the hood', affecting how a team plays beyond what we can see on the team instructions screen?

For example, I know that if you switch from playing contain to overload, the tempo the team plays at will increase, as will width etc. But are there any other differences or changes that aren't represented on the TI screen?

In an earlier reply in this thread, it was established that counter attacks are triggered 'under the hood' automatically. Does this only happen with the Counter mentality? Or can counter attacks also be triggered in the other team mentality settings?

What does player mentality affect for a given role and duty?

Take an MC playing a support role in a highly structured team. As the team mentality changes from contain to overload, the MC's mentality will also increase.

But what does that mean for how the MC (s) plays? What changes in his playing behaviour can we expect to see?
