Lets put our heads together

...and come up with a definitive guide on how to stop ronaldo and messi cheesers

i have had enough..i cant seem to stop either of them one v one and i am not experienced enough on the defensive arts in the game to shift the right playesr to right locations to make thier dribbling harder

we need to come up with ways of stopping these guys that only use them like a one man team

can someone also explain why other people using messi and ronaldo seem to glide past big strong balanced players and yet when its vice verca people just overtake me and just pull me back? what am i doing wrong?

I think it depends on the type of player you are facing. Given that most of them will be playing with said players on a wing, then I'd go for with either a 451 or even a 541 if you can't contain them, get the fullbacks to stay back and keep the defence flat as possible. Get your man marking settings on, maybe even doubling up with one of your midfielders too. Then I'd just have two nice quick wingers and a big man at centre forward to hit them on the break.

I dunno? Give it a try?

set injuries on and hack 'em down after 2 crunching tackels they should get carried off your probs get ared card or two but half of the kids wont know what to do once ronaldo has been take down the hospital to have his leggs sown back on!!!

LOL yeah that's the way! Back to playground tactics, kick the shit out of the talented kid

-Play counter attack with pressure.
-Man mark them with your best defender.
-PRESSURE (65-70) .... COMPACTNESS (65-70) .... DEFENSIVE STYLE ( 0... straight line )
-Dont mess around with passes in the back because if you lose the ball its over.

Playing coutner attack will limit their running ability.... It will shorten the field and not give them space, especially with pressure on. If they get away and start running use your Square button to pressure them with the closest defender, use your primary defender as your help defender to cut off their angle... trap them and crowd them.... Once you master this you will have an open field to counter attack them and catch them on the break. Most of these losers play with the default formations which are very offensive minded for both Real and Barca... this helps on your counter attacks as they have holes in the back. This becomes very repetitive and boring, you will get great at it because you will get a ton of practice against these guys because tahts all they do... they look for these super players and try to give them the ball to run... If you do it right they will not even get the pass to their Ronaldo or Messi to start running ...

GOOD LUCK!

play 451 and putting pressure stratedy 'on'

as for injuring them? LOL ..i neeeeed to do that.. LOL.

question, why not just set the pressure in style to 100 rather than 65-70? whats gonna happen if you do that?

I dont know. Try it, it may open up your back and leave you exposed to quick passes to the wings though if Ronaldo gets the ball.

Im glad it worked for you... Honestly I've gotten very good at defending them now and they barely even score on me anymore. :happy:

use the pressure button but let the computer tackle that usually does the trick if not break there legs?
