Hello,
I'm trying to tweak the database bit and now want to set nation attributes to fit better to treality. I am now trying to model a quite technical but really physical style of football (which is often played by african teams as WC-Qualified Angola) -> decent technical and passing skills and an atttacking mentality on the one hand and really hard tackling and physical strength on the other hand. A lack of defensive organisation and concentration towards the end of matches.

but how to reach this in the editor? has anyone gathered experience with tactics and the general nation attributes in the editor? I think, also the national manager's stats have to be adjusted...

any thoughts?

In the editor, go to Angola, click attributes.

Those are the only attributes you can change.

I know that!!

I wanted some hints, to which extent those attributes should be changed -> what effects do they have on the game! And I wanted to know if there is a way to model physical play as tight marking and hard tackling.

I guess you'd need to edit induvidual players' stats. For conceding 'stupid goals' just after scoring or towards the very end of a match, try to decrease concentration. For tackling try dirtiness , but it'd be also provoking opposition players, not only harder tackling as far as I know. To disorganise the defence, you can add preferred moves (e.g. gets forward whenever possible for centre backs). I'd try doing this, but it'd be rather time consuming unless you take advantage of a macro editor to do it for yourself.

Changing those attributes, if I get you right, would only change the nation's preferred style of play - so what kind of playing style the supporters of a national team would expect. It might have nothing to do with the actual performance of the players under a given manager.
