Hold your formation, try to predict where the ball will go and close the passing lanes. Just chasing after the guy with the ball doesn't work this year.

In FIFA, I think you have to look at it as defending space until the opportunity arises to close down a man. By doing this, you can methodically force the CPU into making bad decisions. Constantly chasing will not work, as a matter of fact it'll get you killed as the game wears on. I know this description is pretty vague and I apologize, but I can't think of a better way to describe it.

This does help. Thanks for the insight.

Ok. I will start trying to do this in the demo for practice. Thanks so much.

I think the bigger problem is that humans are programmed to call for a pass as soon as the AI gets the ball.

For me, anyway, it's all about spacing, passing lanes and player switching. You might notice on TV, when teams are defending in numbers, they'll organize in two rows of 4 (or something similar) to pressure the ball handler and watch passing lanes. I try to do the same thing in the game and it helps.

Simeone says his method to defend is pressure where it counts, they can't score from their own end. You pressure and pressure on your half/final 3rd of your field. If they score a wonder goal so be it, but as long as you defend your final 3rd you will create turnovers and counters.

Thanks. This is good information for me.
