EA u have to nerf/balance attacking players ability to be great at tackling and defend in general

[fierce forge]

Attacking players who have very low defending stats (under 40) currently perform tackles and jockeying with unrealistically high success rates. It doesn’t make sense that strikers, wingers, or CAMs with around 30 defending can defend almost as effectively as defenders who have 80+ defending.

There needs to be a much stronger distinction between players who are good at defending and those who aren’t. For example, defenders with low dribbling or shooting stats perform poorly when used in attack — which feels accurate and balanced. However, the same level of realism doesn’t apply when it comes to defending with attacking players.

If attempting to tackle or defend with attackers who have very poor defensive attributes carried a real risk — such as more failed tackles, higher foul likelihood, or potential yellow cards — it would create a more balanced experience. Players would have to think twice before defending aggressively with attackers, instead of being able to rely on them unrealistically.

This adjustment would make attacking more enjoyable and fair, since players wouldn’t constantly be tackled by opposing attackers. Overall, it would help produce a more rounded and balanced gameplay experience.

Further tackling should about timing and positioning. Not spamming tackle. Also tackling from behind sould be nerfed heavily

just nef ai defending in general back to the alpha state

[fierce forge]

agreed.

Ai defending also needs to be nerfed, but attacking players should not be super good at making tackles and defend. Right now 90% of the community controlls their attacking players to run back. Defenders with low dribling and shooting are not good in the offense. The same should apply for attacking players who has like 30 in defending stats.

[untold dune]

yes agreed

did you see that clip of bobby charlton defending like prime maldini with ai

its insane

[zinc mountain]

So true

[zinc mountain]

I lost many times cuz of that.
Charlton dropping back and tackling perfectly, super idiotic

[fierce forge]

Yeah i think its going kind of viral at the moment but its just stupid that the ai defend like that and also that an attacking player with super low defending stats defend like that without being chosen.

They just need to make attacking players feel like Vidic does in the offense. If u try to drible with vidic he feels like a truck. That feeling needs to be applied to attacking players who has very low defending stats. Trying to tackle with attacking players with low defending stats should leed to more failed tackles (fouls, yellow cards and so on)
