Defending should not be as easy as it is, it should require skill. The game does not feel rewarding anymore. Defending was perfect at the start of the game, its only the bad players who complained about it due to their lack of patience to learn manual defending. Now the ai defends everything without me having to do much, its boring. Save your game EA.

Defending is ok, might need a bigger buff. the issue is the lack of attacking AI momentum, that makes defending feel OP, its not. Its just EA that has screwed up attacking, passing, finishing. WAKE UP GUYS

No defending is not ok stop acting like an EA employee oh wait you probably are. They just have ppl say dumb stuff on here to divide and conquer

For example my zunimendis defensive AI is Ludacris. He will literally chase an opponent down that’s in my attacking third while he’s at the halfway line. Might be cuz of DLP ++ which is why roles are dumb

Defending is not ok. It’s too easy to just set up, put a 451 or a 4231 and just run around with a cdm (or even the middle cam in some cases!) and let the ai pack in nice and tightly then autoblock everything. It’s HORRIFIC to play against, it lacks any creativity and ingenuity, it’s boring and it should not be in the game. But EA would rather cater to the casuals who NEED this to get wins

Yup and why do they cater towards these kinds of players? I wouldn’t even call them casuals, they’re ppl who only know how to play the game in that manner and abuse broken game mechanics. Some ppl call them “rats” but I prefer the term abusers.

Ea caters towards them
Bc they are the ppl who spend all the money on the packs. Im assuming it’s the younger generation who do didn’t grow up playing Fifa and only know the FC run down the line counter attack trash attacking playstyles is all they know

I feel bad for these players bc it also purposefully done by EA to maximize revenue

Sad sad pathetic company taking away creativity and passion from a game that literally breaths it and then calling it competitive or even having a esports scene for this current game and all past games going back 10 years is pathetic

" some players were relying on the defending AI and not taking defensive risks to win the ball, this let's some of us or some players control their CM instead of switching to defenders and just waiting for them to win the ball back somewhat effortlessly. This change will not completely remove those behaviors if someone wants to play this way." Said by a gameplay producer.

#

Even today in their little note they seem like they're afraid to nerf it.

Ofc they are if they nerf it all the little timmies who spend thousands on this game won’t want to play bc they’re little sore loser babies

They need to do it tho and giving them this upcoming patch which should drop next week to get it done or else I’m down playing.

Even the live tournaments I’m going against the worst abusers known to mankind like EA purposefully matches skilled players with little weasels and it’s annoying

It won’t let me post

#

It’s the downfall of your “blank”

They can never nerf it, 90% of my opponents abuse it. They completely rely on it, as seen when the game came out (and was fun) and they all cried that defending was impossible. Now it's every single game, I am playing vs 451, opponent switches to De Jong who apparently has hidden 99 pace, and chases me with infinite stamina, or even worse they get between their CB's and jockey side to side whilst the AI perfectly mirrors my dribbling and auto blocks any passes or shots. And when they get the ball, it only takes them timing one through ball for them to be 1v1 with my goalkeeper.

I've completely stopped playing squad battles, rivals, and champs becuase it's so stale and boring playing against 9 defenders. I am only playing the live events and even they are plagued with these AI abusers.

For me, the fix is quite simple. If my opponent wants to switch to his CM/CDM who is behind me as I am running towards his goal, I should be able to dribble past his defenders easily, like we could at release.

The flip side is, they need to massively buff manual defending. Player controlled defenders should have better agility to deal with the spinners, better stand tackle animations so they don't keep missing when they shouldn't, or lunging at air when the tackle is easily there to be made, or giving penaltys away. Jockey speed should only be increased for manually controlled CB/RB/LB, if you want to jockey with your CM/CDM it will be slower and less effective.

Offside trap should be fully manual. Either through the prompt using the dpad, or if you charge forward to make a tackle with your CB, the rest of the defenders should try and keep their line and not play everyone offside. This would solve the issue where players are too afraid to control their CB because it's too easy to create space for runners. Too many players get away with auto offside trap bailing them out because they use meta depth tactic. Running extremely high depth should be high risk high reward. Not assist bad players with extremely high pressing + auto offside traps.

Lastly, AI should NEVER initiate blocks/tackles when not controlled. Only if they are active from 2nd man press, or user controlled. So sick of my opponent controlling his CM on the edge of the box, I get past him and take a shot only for his AI defenders to dive infront of the shot. This would also create another incentive for controlling your own defenders, as they would then block shots that are near them ( but only when user controlled).
