I consider pulling the second defender an exploit too, theres no real difference, you are either controlling your defence or your not.

I'm afraid I disagree with this opinion. Controlling the goalkeeper leaves the entire defence at the control of the CPU, they decide how much pressure to apply, when to go in for tackles, where to position themselves, whether to try and play offside etc. When you call a second defender all he's doing is pressing the ball carrier, you still have to control your man and you still need to decide when to go in for tackles, how much space to give them as well. Plus if they're calling a second defender over then it means they've left a gap elsewhere for you to take advantage of.
 
Imo online CPU shouldnt controll anything but the keeper but even then you can call him to come out etc and control were he passes etc. Allowing CPU to defend online was a big mistake by EA
 
Got Hulk in my pack and managed to sell him for 47k. Went to check price of Neymar and his price seems to shot up from 55k to 65-80k?

Anyone about on PS3 want a few games of UT? PSN ID WingoStarr

Absolutely, they should never have allowed the entire defence to be controlled by the CPU but I have no issue with the ability to call a second player.

People call the second defender to defend the player and fill the hole they would leave with the player they use under their control.

A football game online should never be anything other than you controlling the opponent with the ball.

I have played entire games where there was never a single slide tackle by the other team, thats not right.

Theres no issue calling a second player unless they use that second player to be the primary defender (which a lot of people are doing as they cant defend properly).

So you're complaining because you can't break down a defence? It's not as if the CPU is controlling the entire opposition team, like they do when people play as the goalkeeper.
