EA I wish I could post a video to show what I mean but I will try my best. I play 4213 with 90 depth as my standard tactic. I am down 1 goal in the 80th minute. Opponent takes a goal kick and my Striker is standing high but BOTH WINGERS are standing very low while opponent has 4 defenders in the box to initiate the possession pass. Why has the game not automatically put all of my wingers and my striker at the top of the box to initiate pressure and force opponent to take a long goal kick? -> Furthermore, even if I manually move a winger high, once I grab my other winger, that winger I manually moved starts running back. IF I MANUALLY MOVE A PLAYER they should not be moved by AI to a position I DO NOT want them in. Even if I push 'team press' my players are not actually man marking up the pitch. For example; my LB/RB who I play on wingback, do not tightly mark the LM/RM and instead sit at the half way line. Once again if I manually move them they run back the second i try to manually move someone else. There needs to be a solution. Possession passing is FAR too easy. I would rather be required to find creative ways out of a press; then have my team unable to presssat all; regardless of what tactics I select.

Yea there’s virtually no way to stop possession merchants unless they make a mistake in build up i’ve had opponents time waste for a full 45 minutes without me bein able to manually press even with team press offside trap and 90 depth

Defensive AI man marking needs to be GREATLY increased. But all auto defensive mechanics removed (no auto tackles, no auto interceptions, etc). However, thats a different discussion. We either need a team press button that actually works (and adjusts stamina accordingly (needs to be WAYYYYY more effective but drain more stam maybe...). OR the automatic positions on high depth need to be way higher/better for pressing.

team press probably needs to stay the same it’s already pretty effective and if it gets buffed people will spam it once their opponents get close to their box

maybe team press in Opp half better and your half not as good? im not really sure.
