In my opinion there is not a problem in the defending ai.. There are problems when you start to control players when you defend. The bruiser is non existent even if you have the playstyle+, it's like the animation it's not existent in the game. Attackers are too more agile than the defenders because I feel that also Jockey is non existent and I can't follow the attackers. It's like there is some input delay. The result is that I'm seeing a lot of people starting to exploit all of this and go up, down and doing circles waiting for you to miss the contrast because the animation is also too slow.
#Bruiser and defensive animation not working, jockey is slow (video test inside)

Bruiser doesn’t work like before just run at the players don’t press tackle button or you will get left behind by strikers and wingers
the bruiser animation don't even start for every player.. i made some test and i reinstalled fc 25 for comparison. In fc25 you can clearly see the difference between a player with a defensive playstyle and another that doesn't have it. Example: in fc26 kounde has jockey+, when you press L2 you see the playstyle icon above the player but the animation and the speed of the jockey is the same. I played a game in fc25 and i can clearly see the difference between a base jockey and a player that doesn't have it
Bruiser and defensive animation not working
Because they changed how it activates
How is it activated then?
Bruiser animation and tackling animations too as well as jockey
Yea it doesn’t make sense that the summer gameplay deep dive specifically detailed AND SHOWED that manual jockeying was sped up and smoothed out, but in the actual game it is noticeably slower and heavier than last year. They must have messed something up, because there’s no way this was the desired defensive movement
🤓☝🏻 idgaf to help you ☝🏻🤓
Even if you wanted you couldn't the bruiser plus playstyle doesn't get activated with shoulder tackles / seal outs using advanced defending pressing (x) and even with tactical at perfect positioning and timing
You’re just bad that you need bruiser to play well just get a jockey defender and move on
They have changed it to defensive and bruiser animations not being activated at all.
Basically defending has been nerfed to the ground.
it's a free run for all attackers and fidget spinners
So enjoy abusing the overpowered attack till they fix the defending
Yeah sadly..
I'm div 1 pushing elite
Saying 'you're jUsT bAd beCaUSe yOu nEeD BrUiSer' completely misses the point. It's not about relying on a playstyle it’s football. I should have the option to execute a shoulder challenge or seal out. That’s like the game forgetting to implement the Anticipate tackle, and someone saying 'you’re just bad because you need Anticipate.' It’s not about skill excuses, it’s about a core mechanic not working
Literally defending isn’t that bad
Like it is playable
Every play is defendable
I know I'm just addressing a fault in the game
The play style it self is not working
There's smth wrong with it bruiser should get activated when making a shoulder challenge
You will complain also when you match against someone who can abuse gyokeres with the new enforcer playstyle plus and your pacho or van dijk or whatever defender you have literally can't touch him
Only then you'll feel the importance of the bruiser plus playstyle
+1
Nah pacho bruiser works
I used him b4
But ik what u mean
?
Are you playing advanced or tactical in defense?
Tactical
And you're telling me that when you perfectly line up your pacho with an attacker to make a shoulder challenge and press circle the bruiser playstyle plus activates ?

i made 2 sample videos testing jockey in fc25 and fc26. Both player don't have the jockey playstyle but in fc25 the speed is faster when i press L2

Bruiser and defensive animation not working, jockey is slow (video test inside)
But this is the problem ut is about using your fav players not 11 out of the 50 meta options that everyone is using
If you need jockey to have a chance the balance is bad since in theory every ps should be on the same lvl (or at least close)
True I’m starting to get pissed if in rivals now because my defenders get bullied
You run with Virgil van Dijk near to a 1,55cm little female player and he can‘t stick his Body between her and the Ball to win the fight… makes no sence for me
Push
Push
Sounds like it will be in the next Patch lets goooo
The Sounds good
🚨 FC 26 update is coming
• ✅ Bruiser playstyle buffed
• ✅ Physical Tackles improved
• ✅ Finesse Shot bug fixed
• ✅ Trivela Shot buy fixed
• ✅ Block animation fixed
• ➕ More fixes
Bruiser & tackling improved 👀 #fc26
Bruiser is back.. Tackles seems also improved
W downloading the patch right now i hope this makes defending less frustrating
I have tried two games in autenthic on kickoff and couldn't see many differences, maybe it's me
Put on competitive bro 🥀
Same
Oh damn it works for me in rivals and stuff
What defense u use and buttons
I just don’t tackle
I just run at them and then I win the ball
Only tackle with cbs
Tactical defense on top
Ah yes but they're supposed to do animations with buttons... Oh well
The patch definitely made this much better, but I wish the animations played out more like they did in FC 25. The way it is now, it seems the violent shoulder charge animation is just about the only one that plays out, so the attacker is sent a mile away instead of just getting boxed out
