I Couldn’t Defend On FC 24, Until I Did This

[@ofiraharon9830]

It's impossible to defend in this year's game, it's just discouraging Any small wrong move and you get a goal, a goalkeeper who doesn't know how to jump or catch the ball, and players who just stand without moving or helping the defenders to protect the goal FIFA should solve this in the next update of the game, we can't play like this

[@Bigcrooks]

Been 5 months same trash gameplay

[@vijisrangoli]

Its still the same, defender just stand and stare at the audience. lol

[@blackstormer95]

August 2024 and the game is still a complete piece of crap, they should scratch it all and get a new development company tbh

[@SlCKNESS_]

I know this is an old video and people have probably figured it out by now, but Playstyles are extremely important for defenders. Some of the animations you can get with a Seal-out, if they have Bruiser+ or even only Bruiser are just nuts. Same thing with Anticipate+ and Standing Tackles.

[@EGGZ1983]

Not gonna lie. The new defending has completely turned me off the game this year. Played since the mega drive days..

[@ItsAlpa]

I just got back into it and I have to completely agree with you. It makes the game extremely difficult to want to play if I'm being honest. FIFA 22s defending felt super crisp, I wish they went back to that even though that game had it's major flaws too

[@unluckeeeee]

It's actually diabolical.. The amount of times I tackle someone for it to go straight back the same player or another one near by is actually laughable.

[@reverbautopsy9093]

The way defenders don't react, stand still or literally just watch their opponent fly by is so unrealistic. I have no idea why they changed or pretty much turned off legacy defending in EA FC 24. It's not a fun game to play anymore.

[@l67t9]

Bro i was playing champ today and i just turn it off i dont care about the reward i just cant handle the view of my defince just watching the opponents walk past them and destroy me and let me tell you yes i am not a legend in the game but i am not a stupid or noob in it i know when the game is bad defending in the game is just awful​@@reverbautopsy9093

try it this way when you tackle as you get close to the opponent, press X then immediately hold the R1+ circle for a moment. This way the x will automatically get you closer to the opponent to then r1+ circle will win you the ball. it works like magic against all sorts of dribbling.

[@ricardon.2641]

Honestly, play the computer on legendary or ultimate difficulty for a few games then go play online. You'll learn how to anticipate movements. The keys to defending, regardless of what settings you have it on, are positioning to intercept passing lanes and stopping a run, utilizing help defense, and just anticipating when someone is going to change direction in their dribbling. Circular strafing also disrupts a person's dribble move timing. Guys like to go to the end line inside the box and pass it back towards middle. Cut that lane off and he'll be forced to shoot it right at the goalies feet. Double tap and hold RB and your teammates will tightly mark inside the box so you can focus on your matchup. Always expect a change in direction if your defender is keeping pace with the dribbler. It's better to lose the race on the sidelines than to give up the middle.

[@360forty]

Facts Advanced Defending changes everything 💯

[@allanmuyanji]

This has literally been my defending story😂😂...and one last piece was left...right stick switching at 8. I play it at 6 and I always wonder WT* is wrong with it😂. Game changer, literally.

[@12123188]

And how to solve midfielders not defending at all? And what is with the lag of when defenders start to sprint? They always first shuffle a few steps before they start sprinting back...

[@iirichtofen6310]

i swear to god mate i was havin a 10 loss streak cuz of that right switch garbage , thank you man ur the best

[@tsahik69]

Thank you!!! This was the video i was looking for! You changed my game. I was suffering 6-0 7-1 8-0 etc. Until i saw your video and started winning! Liked and suscribed!

[@iicaptain123]

I'm seriously confused. Every tutorial bangs on about shoulder charges. I have Advanced Defending on, I press the A button and i think i might get maybe 3 shoulder charges a match which either deflect straight to the opposition or is a foul. I'm losing tournament matches 10 - 0 on World Class where in Fifa23 I was winning seasons on Legendary. I also press A to do a simple pass and the game will randomly do a clearing kick or even a shot on goal from 80 yards away just when pressing the A button.

[@TheFCASupporter]

Why TF do my defenders run away from the ball

[@MattHDGamer]

Great tips bro!

[@AlexBeeOfficial]

Thanks Matt, hope you are well!

[@jeremygorski9801]

For me, 2 player pressing has improved my defending the most. Works great when wingers try to get past close to the side line. With 2 player pressing they are surrounded and cannot move or pass in any direction, once they get close enough.

[@diego81990]

I miss the old teammate press. Jockey legacy defending.

[@reverbautopsy9093]

Yes why did they get rid of it? This new defending is horrible and makes the game way less fun to play.

Thanks great tips! I went from advanced to tactical some time ago but i see advanced is so much better. Also the switching to other players goes a bit better now👍

[@issakakamal2801]

The worst fifa I have played the whole of my life. The trough ball is ultimately terrible. Instead of through balls going to your players, the game directs the through balls to your opponent as if you intentionally gave them those passes. Naturally, through balls mainly goes to your intended target unless the opponent makes effort to cut the pass but in fifa that's not the case. They reversed what through balls looks like in real life: through balls are passess that have 95% percent chance of going to your opponent.

[@Carlosspicyweiner]

Im gonna let you into a lil secret... L1+R1 through balls And if youre wondering where the driven pass went its L1+R1 lob pass (great for pinging it out to wingers quicker)

[@sham-don3458]

I understand the criticism for the game but it does need patience. This video is absolutely terrific, it solved so many issues for me. Like, for instance, my defence was always pulled out of shape, players just breezing past my tackles, and always being done down the wings. Changing the right stick switching sensitivity is a HUGE game changer. And the hard tackle / shoulder barge now makes my opponent know I mean business. Thank you for taking the time with this video, brilliant stuff mate!

[@trapper7954]

Every game ends up in a unrealistic score like 6-4, 5-3, 10-0. There are way too many goals from both sides. I play on Legendary, 5min, increased shot error and GK ability. Also lowered Acc. and Sprint speed for both sides to make the game feel slower. I much rather have games like 1-0, 2-2. But when I score the AI has to score back immediately and vice versa. It’s an never ending chain of goal scoring madness like it is basketball lmao. Really boring. Maybe I should try Ultimate?
