You have to consider the tactical ability (so called tactical profiles) of each player and his position in the line to choose the right tactics for the line. The better you choose the players and the line's tactics, the better they will perform on the ice.
Well setup line will have their maximum possible chemistry higher.
Bellow you can find a list of each tactics and the best suited players for the tactics (for the positions where 2 tactical profiles are allowed, it's possible to use any of those and the better performance of the player will be used).
Chemistry / Max. Chemistry - players, who play together often will gradually, step by step, develop 'chemistry'. They will adjust to playing together, improving their efficiency - reflected by the line's attribute Chemistry. (Chem).
The better the chemistry, the higher chance the line will successfuly execute a special tactical offensive action - which has a higher chance of scoring then the standard action.
Maximum chemistry (Max) of a line depends on the current line's tactics and on the players' tactical performance on their positions in the line (Tactical profiles).
Don't worry, the line's chemistry will not decrease if you just change it's tactics - only the maximum chemistry will be changed and the current chemistry will slowly decrease during the following days if the maximum chemistry is lower than the current.
Tactical profiles - you can find it for every player, just click on 'Profile' from his page!
