#Auto Defending - the worst feature to ever be created in history of the game

I have been playing Fifa since the very first one came out - I also played for the USA National Soccer team when I was 14-16 and bring my talents on the field to the game. It has been incredible to experience the game evolving and improving over time to gradually be able to capture what I can do on the field.

With this said, the advent of allowing players to easily toggle Auto Defending and let the computer do almost everything to apply pressure while the controlled player sits back and waits is in my opinon the worst thing to ever happen to this game I love. I do not play online Seasons (D1) to play offense against a computer all game, so I choose to then just keep the ball all 90 mins now because it is a complete waste of time. If I wanted to do that, I would play career mode. So then I end up wasting my own time and my opponents when they choose to depend on computer to defend against me.

I have beaten world #1's (checked rankings after games) multiple times and I know I am one of the best players in the world. Please take my feedback seriously - a loyal customer who has bought every single game since it was invented.

It is making me not want to play online EAFC again, which kills me but its at the point now where 95% of my opponents in online seasons choose to toggle on Auto defending against me and is ruining the experience.

EAFC team - please evaluate this, it is a serious issue shared amongst my family and friends who feel similar to me.

Thanks,

Scott

Preach brother every game is played exactly the same. Sit back double tapping r1, offside trap and holding contain in any given 1v1 situation and wait till you get the ball… I can’t remeber the last time I seen someone play smart passes or actually switch to cover a lane based on decision making… the game is so reliable on the Ai from attack to defence. Theirs no fluidity or balance to it. I really believe this due to engines limitation in being able to adopt in both defence and attack situation’s hence why attack suffers manually and defending suffers too & why you get incredibly dull games. This engine has to be deleted period it does not represent anything about football and does not encourage any logical style of football seen on the real field

# vernal oxide thank goodness someone else agrees with me - respect brother.

To be honest I’ve noticed this from the start of FIFA 17, I can’t believe it’s taken this long for people to wake up to the main root of the problem, cause even if you disregard playstyles, the engine the main limitation, because with or without playstyles the game still plays incredible boring with no variety, if anything the playstyles are designed to break the games code allowing certain impossible things to occur intentionally rather than add a factor hence why certain playstyle are overpowered & needed rather than an plus addition. Fixing the core gameplay will make playstyles irrelevant but I’d rather just not have them if that’s the persistent core issue that will always hinder a basic way playing. Tactics however need to be revamped completely, this is also an area that’s the problem with the Ai decision making because their too limited to their designed area rather than adopting like any real football player would
