Has anyone gotten the defending down in this game yet? I'm playing a very low defensive line now and keeping numerous players behind the ball but no matter what I do I still can't prevent the opposition from creating loads of chances.

If anyone has tips or tactics that have worked for them I'm all ears.

Computer or Online?

For the computer, I dont know what to tell you. Ive played on legendary throughout all the past fifas...this year I dropped to WC in an attempt to keep the scores of the higher rated teams down because like you said, they will pick you apart and create chance after chance.

For online, hold that good LT+A...thats what everyone else is doing and its pretty upsetting because it requires no effort and is far too affective.

I have some ideas/tactics and I want to give them but I don't know if I'm up to it yet :p. One of my most effective tackling match and I still lost 2-0 to MU (legendary CPU, 5 minutes half).


Anyway I feel concentrating too much at defense that sometimes I make too much avoidable mistakes when attacking. :sad:

I just had a better match, defensively, against Barca. I lost 1-2. All is fine until I literally lobbed the ball to my own net and scored a ridiculous OG. :cry:

Might be playing a bit this evening, yeah. But I think I'm going to focus on the career mode mostly for now.
Yeah, me too. It'd be nice to play online from time to time though.

In which difficulty level are you playing in the career mode?

Professional.

Currently 4 games into the season, 2W-1D-1L. Takes quite a lot of effort for me to actually win a game.
Same here. I started with Professional level, and after 7 games of which I won 2, drew 2 and lost 3, it was kind of making me dislike the game. So I set it to Semi-Pro until I get used to defending and get the feel of the game better.

Now I wish there was another level in between them, as Professional is still difficult for me, but Semi-Pro is getting too easy.

Yeah, the difference between semi-pro & pro is too big for me as well. Started on semi-pro myself, but I didn't really enjoy winning 7-1 etc, so I had no choice...

2 clean sheets out of 4 games on professional so far though, which is promising.

I'm missing too many chances in front of goal which I'm always getting penalized for on the counter.

Anyone have tips for scouting players? Do I get the best scouts available and get the young ones early, or do I let him scout for awhile?
Scout them for as long as the scout is their, then you'll get a better idea of how good the player is.

I bought the best scout and two medium scouts.
