Here's the thing, and it took me awhile to figure out just this. Depending on your long ball type (1-5) will decide what button you have to press to deliver a whipped in cross and a floater. Regardless of what setting, when you perform an automatic cross, just pressing O and it crosses for you, it will be whipped in. To get it to be a floater, you will have to do a manual long ball into the box. Now I believe when you have it set such as that, you can actually use the L1+O autocross and it will be a floater, even though that can be considered automatic as well, but since the O button itself is designated as autocross, that somehow lets you just float it in with L1+O.
For any settings where O is not the autocross but a manual long pass, L1+O becomes whipped in crosses. Hence to float the ball in, you can basically use the O button and float the pass in manually.
Occasionally it seems random though with the whipped in crosses, not too sure why.
Another thing I noticed, the long balls can be whipped per say as well. I used Roberto Carlos to experiment. On setting 1, you can use auto aim long balls, simply press O and the long passes are fast and low, but if you use manual it becomes a floater. Same with one or two more settings. The first one seems pretty clear though, it is these long passes I can't figure out 100% sure. How exactly are the fast low long balls performed. The floaters seem to be automatic when you use a manual long ball!
Hope someone can clarify!
