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.
I'm going to give that a go. I have been using 4213.If anyone is interested had great success with the below - high risk and enjoyable
Advanced defending + Bruiser playstyle with the new update.
Is anyone using Advanced defending? I thought it was always tactical
PSN is Jimbeam3678 for anyone who wants add me 
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 teamPSN for anyone who wants add me Jimbeam3678

I was referring to previous iterations of Fifa/EA Fc as well - for me its not worth the extra thing to remember.That was the case until the latest update, now it works as intended.

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.

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![]()
This is my thoughts exactly. I even did 5 games in Rivals too. Only one of them was close.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.

I feel I'm going to have to change something because overnight I've completely lost the knack of winning.Had more success last night, manual defending is actually doable again, so that's made a difference.
