So you are good as Defending, Attacking and even Midfield I hear?  Then come along and explain to all us (me  ), who can't play well at all, how to play effectively!
Ok I want to highlight a few issues here and there I often find myself against.
Few things to know about my control method.
Square = Teammate contain / Shoot
R1 = Player Contain
X = Tackle
(so my thumb will always be accross tackle / teammate contain all the time).
- My defenders ALWAYS leave space open, even when I don't push or even contain!
- I can NEVER seem to tackle, yet everyone who defends against me can tackle me without effort.
- Players never seem to be able to outrun anyone on the field.
- I am always constantly being muscled of the ball. Yet this is something I can never do?
- Holding L2 or L1 has no effect to my players
 . They still lose the ball soooo easily. - All my passes get intercepted (well sometimes it feels like it).
- I struggle playing against high pressured players.
- If I try clear the ball, it always goes to one of them.
- My players are never outside the box for rebounds so I never get the ball once it leaves the area.
I still have many issues with my play that make me lose almost 80% of my games. I need help and FAST. So if anyone could help me then I'd be greatly appreciative.

Hi I just played you in two friendly matches. You play a bit like me If I say so myself. You play realistic football with a good passing style which I'm afraid is not successful In fifa ! I'm afraid if you want to get high in seasons you must ramp up the pressure and aggression, sprint around like a headless chicken , select Team pressing and generally neutralise the game into a ping pong match....sad but true.

That still doesn't explain why on earth I am always being muscled off the ball, constantly tackled and intercepted. When I can't do any of that? |

I get pulled in the box all the time, yet when I do that it's an instant pen. Just a theme I'm been receiving from the refs in this game. Either people who take the ball of me so easily are not using the push/shove button while controlling a player, or they are. Either way it's something I don't know but something I'd love to find out. Because what they do is so effective compared to what I seem to do. |

I found the defending skillgames helpful. i sucked at defending before that. now i think im decent at it. one thing i have noticed is i rarely have to use tackle. just run close enough cpu will auto tacle. tacles are risky in this game coz so often u miss tackle and give foul or just miss and you get left behind. sliding tackles are useful as well, u just have to know when and where to use them.
good skillgame is advanced defending. i practice the silver level over and over again, there u can see how u dont have to tackle to make the interception. just jockey and try to get ur self close enough then cpu makes tackle witch is 100% accurate.

Is this in reference to online play or playing against the CPU bc I have a lot of similar problems when I play the CPU. It's like the guys on my team don't know what they're doing while the CPU are hyperaware footballer who constantly beat me to every lose ball, clearance, and rebound. |

This for me was just relating to Online. I have yet to begin my career on SP. Before I do, I want to research different sliders to make it feel more realistic.

Ok so after countless searching, reading different websites and watching some videos. I've come to the conclusion that defending isn't completely broke, but it does require fast action and concentration. The main thing I would always recommend is to run a line up which contains a CDM, and make sure a proper CDM fills this spot. This can be really helpful at keeping your back line together. Also, make sure you enter the defensive roles for the CDM and put him at always stay back while attacking. IF you see your CDM / back line pushing up. Select your CDM and run him a little more towards your goal. This will generally make your back 4 also take a step back. Loads of more information I've found very useful can be found here: fifaaddiction.com/tutorials/defending/
Just following some of these steps have really helped me defend. Even to the point that some of the seasons games I've had recently, my opponents have had merely 5 shots at goal, while I've had 5-10. I know this isn't useful for those of you who can defend, but for people like me that get annulated each game, it comes in handy. |
