EA SPORTS FC 26

Anyone mastered tackling yet? If I come across a decent passing player, and they get the ball to an attackers feet, in my area, there’s literally nothing I can do to tackle them.
 
Is anyone using Advanced defending? I thought it was always tactical

Lots of people use tactical as well, but with advanced you can tap the a/x button when side to side to win the ball back, physically shove them out the way. Tactical is just contextual to the situation as they describe it in settings I think. Advanced is just more control on what type of tackle you want to perform.
 
From what I have read and watched it adds more complexity and hassle for not a lot of gain.

@Andybtsn you seemed to have slipped off my PSN friends list - I used to like snooping at your team :( PSN is Jimbeam3678 for anyone who wants add me :o

Haha, probably because people always took offence to whatever name I was called. I have a stupid name now, I'll add you
 
I'm on Xbox. Can you add people cross platform?

After a couple of decent pack pulls I've managed to put a decent team together, then I play in Rivals and my team seems terrible :D

I thought I’d sussed this game out. 10 wins in weekend league, up to division 4 in rivals then they released this patch, ive got annihilated in 5 games in rivals. The changes they’ve made aren’t game breaking so no idea why I can’t play anymore.

I had the exact same situation when I was playing last night. Each game was close but I just kept losing. FIFA’s always been weird like that for me. Kick off goals are doing my head in as well, like every year.

That's supposedly fixed as of today

Kick off goals haven been fixed and AI defending is slightly better . Nothing that major has changed, usual YouTubers trying to get clicks with extreme views.

Something else has changed though as my 95 depth tactics doesn't seem to work as well now :confused:

Yeah, it's mental the reaction any patch gets, then everyone jumps on the bandwagon. For casual players, i.e., those not playing 8 hours a day for their job, the changes are good. Defending was a joke before.

This is my thoughts exactly. I even did 5 games in Rivals too. Only one of them was close.
 
I was never good at 'r1 dribbling' anyway, so I can't comment on the change there, my 40-year-old thumbs can't compete with the kids :D
