Hey I play against a friend that uses legacy defending and 6 defenders nearly impossible to score a goal. Any tips?

[@_Lucky_Luke]

These vids are very educational. Because you keep it simple I have time to see what is going on at the buttons too. I think many of us lose it at the simple things. I for sure am!

[@HamzaAli-lr3lb]

No one ever talks about but the hardest part of defending is player switching if you can player switch well you would automatically become a much much better defender

[@100percentSNAFU]

Unfortunately the game mechanic doesn't always cooperate when trying to switch players. I have tried every different method and have found none are fool proof. Contrary to popular opinion, I like button switching better than stick switching.

[@nickleong]

the worst part about switching is that. It will never switch to who you expect in tight situations. Sometimes button switching gives me a fullback when the clear logical choice is the center back. Why would I want to change to my left back when Mbappe is coming fullsteam at a cb that has his feet in cement regardless.

[@logical_lb3059]

Supposedly if u master analog switching it works

[@paulchironi7902]

ball relative setting helps (I think that's one of his tips)

[@woetroe070]

Damn, exactly the same bro! I scored many goals but conceded too much, didn't know I was defending so aggressively and that I opened up spaces in my defence for the opponent in that manner. This changed a lot

[@AndreInacioAo2]

Exactly what I was needing to improve. I've always been an agressive defender, but this year because of the slower player movement I've been struggling alot. Thanks for the video!

[@andreidmny]

I felt the same. Being over aggressive used to work great in previous titles but this year I was conceding 3+ goals per game, even in lower divisions. Jockeying makes a huge difference.

[@natemjkd4196]

@@andreidmny I got 10-3 my first game cause I kept pushing up my defense 😭

[@StellarSpectacles]

@@andreidmny could you help me with something bro? When Neal says do not bring the defender forward when running jockeying how do we move the left analog because I always push the defender forward with that or do we not touch the L analog at all when pressing L2 and R2 around the box and only use it when the opponent tries to dribble?

[@andreidmny]

@@StellarSpectacles Try to keep the player in formation. You are using the left stick for movement but instead of constantly pushing towards the opponent, hold the player back and try to stick to his position in order to avoid creating a gap in your defense.

[@sauucey3152]

Hey man! I just wanted to thank you so much. I was stuck in division 4 and i always won 1 game and then lost 2 and just kept repeating that until i watched your videos. Im now in div 3 and almost div 2 and havent lost a single match since then

[@andreidmny]

I can't believe I've been playing FIFA for so many years and I got away all this time by barely using LT (jockey) at all. I found FIFA 23 to be much more unforgiving when it comes to bad defending and simply following this strategy has immediately decreased the conceded goal count. Thank you!

[@beardedlife-coach3686]

I kept on losing even though I could feel I was the better player. Conceding stupid goals. I really couldn't figure it out. This video is really the first one to get it right. This is literally a game changer!

[@karlshepherd1514]

Unreal advice, was stuck in my stubborn ways of rushing out for the ball and breaking my defensive line, finally took some advice and i noticed the changes instantly, so much easier to defend now, thanks

He is saying simply defend.. simply. Dont overcomplicate. Focus on the basics first. Hold position. Hold shape. Not try to rush with defensive contain too, partial team press etc

[@lamjac88]

Thank you, this video popped in my feed I blazed through Div 6 without a loss, I watched it twice to see how you manage to defend, so I tried it out this week. The 1st game was a huge learning curve I did lose however, but I took the time to get well adjusted on how to use this technique as my brain was constantly trying to over right what I just learned and i wanted to keep pressing RB to press or double tap RB to start man marking runners. This really works and I defended so much better and conceded a lot less as well.

[@emmanuelkelechi4204]

Yet to really get this defending hacks. I name of legacy and use buttons. Finding it difficult. Can you out me through pls

[@ianbreezy]

The biggest issue in my defence is that when I switch to track through balls the ai makes lousy movements away from the ball and by the time i pathfind it's too late.

thanks for the reminder to not commit all the time, ive been having a losing streak recently and it sucked, i know its just a game but I wanna have fun too, i will try to implement this later when I play, hopefully it improves my defending haha

[@TheLastFraudster]

I'm getting destroyed by guys that get the ball on the edge of the box and spam skill moves and quick passes. I try what you say to do but the skill move always beat the defender or the quick passing makes me switch to the wrong players. Not having fun with the game.

[@jaridevos8137]

This helped so much, i stoped playing the game bcs i can’t defend

[@100percentSNAFU]

As much as I normally like to criticize this game, I do have to admit that it is actually pretty realistic in terms of what you need to do to be effective at defending. It's like my old high school coach used to yell at us defenders constantly "Contain! Contain! Don't overcommit!". On the con side of this however we were always taught to good ball playing defenders and play out from the back (no "boom ball" is what the coach said) which as we all know can be disastrous on FIFA. I still do it as often as possible though 😜

[@jay5353]

Thank you 😭😭😭 Finally scored 3 goals and kept a clean sheet on legendary Edit: this worked for one game in career mode the defenders are pulling back their foot when defending or not tackling 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@bigCBA]

He’s legit I watched this video and used what I learnt and my bro couldn’t break my defense as strong as before he did score against me but because they were rebounds for saves

[@Darksll23]

MAn thank u very much. İ was defending with using tackle button. Now i realised that how hard job i was doing. I didnt know that there is easest way in fifa how to defend. Thank u very much.

[@Romanian42]

[@desmondosas.]

What about those that use the direction buttons and not analog stick?

[@WilliRichMusic]

thank you bro ngl i needed this information

[@woetroe070]

Wow, I am amazed. I was already pretty good at this game and at fifa 22 (my first fifa in a long time), but there was something in my gameplay I did wrong. I was kinda stuck in div 4 and I didn't know exactly what it was, but now I know I defended way too agressive. I thought that by pressing my opponent I would give him no space to pass or play the ball, but I actually opened up spaces in my back line for his through balls. I watched this video and I had to kinda get used to it, but I went from div 4 to div 2 in a single day. I concede way less goals and my counter attacks are even more powerful now. This means a lot to me, idk if you're gonna read this but thank you so much bro!

[@georged93]

New to the channel, pretty average at fifa but I suck at this fifa hence why searching into KZbin how to get better 😂, came across this video and kept a clean sheet in 3 consecutive games in div5, still getting to grips as I’ve always been an “aggressive” tackler in fifas so I still like to press circle but trying to just jockey and let the AI do the work, already noticing a massive difference so thank you. Liked & Subbed, excited for future content. 👍🏼🎮

[@generationub4075]

It’s crazy every year every KZbinr comes out with a new DEFENDING TUTORIAL. And yet not one of yous ever mention how all the best players seem to be able to pull our players from behind constantly and not give away a foul.

[@Eeshank2]

This was crazy informative. Thank you.

[@FUT-Franklin]

I defend exactly the same way. Only thing that holds me back is the nerves and panic I get when the opposition get into the box, I start flapping like a bird 💀😂

practice in rivals, TRUST YOURSELF, if you lose dont matter, reach the milestone you wont get relegated, think of it that way, trust yourself dont flap, but glide like a bird, hold your position like you part of the Macedonian Phalanx

[@EdgySam]

I already defend like that, conceding 2 goals in the last 5 mins 😂 but seriously patience on both sides of the ball is my big problem, rush passes and then dive in and concede. Will definitely just slow it down a bit especially defending

[@aashishkhawas3982]

Use possession as your tactic, it will definitely force you to play slow.

[@dailybooya]

Your videos are so underrated just seen this and helped out massive

[@ProperWasteman]

The biggest issue I seem to be having this Fifa is when my opponent is breaking usually on the counter attack there will be one of my defenders who seems to run with the attacker for a stupid amount thus playing the entire attack onside leaving me wide open, even using to offside trap players aren’t quick enough and lazily run forward playing them onside leaving the over the top ball through ball for the attacker. This never seemed to happen last Fifa

[@christo-t7e]

As soon as tactical defending with the jockey was introduced in fifa and legacy defending became poor to use I completely lost the live for fifa , I even became very good at jockeying with tactical defending but just can’t stand using it , I refuse to play like that so I still use legacy but my players just don’t stick there legs out to tackle , drives me mad , any tips on legacy ?

[@levart97]

R1 + X + □ R1 = run □ = shoot

[@mattbrownbrands]

I’m still fairly new to FIFA and oh my word, I had no clue about sprint jockey and it completely instantly transformed my defence! Can’t believe how good it is! I was constantly getting outdribbled by everyone and their dog but now I’m like a brick wall! Thanks dude!

[@100percentSNAFU]

In a way you are probably at an advantage being new to the game because you will learn it as it is now, where all of us veteran FIFA players (my first FIFA was 02) have to get over legacy controls and movement, which really have changed in the last few editions. For me the last few fifa's have been the hardest because you get used to doing things certain way then when it changes it is that much harder. The games are almost now the opposite of older versions. It used to be better to be aggressive on defence, and attack with a slower more methodical build up. Now you need to back off on defence and counterattack the shit out of your opponent when on the ball.

[@richardstephenson3838]

Great video as always Neal! Defending is all about mastering space, just like attacking. You need to predict opposition runs, cut out passing avenues and master pressing; it's easy in theory but hard to master and comes with experience and practice.

I followed your steps and found that something felt really wrong. And yes, indeed, if you don't use your contain button, on air balls or in tight situations, your player won't press the enemy player and they will eventually shoulder push you off the ball and win it. I was losing most of my air balls and close quarter fights for the ball because I wasn't using contain just as you said.
