okay, i think im making a simple error when defending, i think more so it has something to do with when i press L1. i think more so im often controlling the wrong player at the wrong time, or im too late with pressing L1? now when an opponent is attacking you - do u lot press L1 immediately after a pass has been made or do u press L1 when the ball is closer to another player recieving the pass? understando? also, if it will help u understand my mistakes, is it possible to make a video and stick it on utube and then scrutinize my shitness from there? if it will, and if ur willing to help then pleeeease telleme. thanks.

2 ficklerd - u know when u say to call a 2nd player to chase someone breaking down my wing and use the player im using to follow anyone in the box? at what point do u decide to call a 2nd defender in to follow the winger? is it like as soon as it looks likely thats the ai's plan or what???

Usually i call the 2nd man to cover if the opposition breaks & it looks like i'll end up short handed in the middle. The AI has an annoying habit of making one of your own defenders follow you out to the wing, usually leaving one of the strikers unmarked, hence easy cut-back goals.

sorry if im bitching but this game makes me bitch... i hate bitches aswell. no faiiiiir man.

IM FINALLY SORTED, I CRACKED THE DOOOOG!!! its hard 2 explain but the main thing i was doing wrong was not keeping possession well with my cbs n rbs. like n getting caught out of position with those types of players. it was soooo simple but its made all the difference. i feel like a spaz who watches barney and friends turned into smart man watches countdown. WHOOOOOOPP!!! LISTEN SPECIAL THANKS TO PEOPLE WHO'VE HELPED.

I was like you when I started playing this game.

I used many hours in training mode and now I get the feeling WHEN to tackle and when to put pressure on the player. Sometime you should only run beside the attacker so he can not shot the ball on your goal.

i prefer not to use the call 2nd player because it can leave out huge holes in your defence. Instead, i just block their path and move them to the wing. This might solve ur through ball problem as well as u dont leave their attackers exposed.
Another thing is to set ur back line depth. A setting (in team settings) is good for me as they are higher up and play the offside trap more often. Also, it is good for counters. But if u find that opponents keep beating defenders that change it to C so that ur defenders stay back and defend closer to the goal. This will probably get rid of ur through ball problem, but at the expense of more pressure and allowing more space for defenders.
By the way, how much defenders do u play. I prefer 4 as they are more co-ordinated and easier to play the offside trap. also the full backs are able to help the attack. But it is harder to get through the middle when u play 3 central defenders.

Its important not to dive in unless you're certain to win the ball. Try waiting until the attacking player tries to sprint or tries a trick before tackling.
I rarely call a second player to close down, it can leave gaps at the back. Sometimes I call another player to close down so I can try block off a through pass.
Maybe try changing your strategy, change the back line to C or B so they will sit deeper. Or you could even try using the offside trap (requires lots of training and practice).

When you defending it easier not to bring ur second defender let him stay back just incase the player gets past your man. use the 2 right back buttons to control your player until they are in the right place to slide, or with me they just give the ball away, the trick is not to dive in and be patient, anyhow whats with chipping on this game ive tried many times to score by chipping the keeper but no chance, i prefere running the wings and pulling back.

I struggle with defense too but here is what I find useful...

1. It is useful to have a sweeper and a stopper in your back 4 instead of having a straight back line.
2. NEVER move your defenders out of position. If your wing is exposed don't send in you center backs to cover it...its almost garunteed that you will get scored on. If you are confident you can stop the ball before the cross than go for it..but its risky
3. If you do happen to be on the back foot and you don't have enough players to stop the shot or tackle the ball..simply check the angle of the player with the ball and stand in the way for a shot..even for distance.

I hope this helps..i am currently trying to figure out the whole defense thing as well

why are some players so quick to close down your attackers down? they seem to move 20 yards at one.

depends...
1. either your player is slow
2. you are not pressing R1 to sprint

other than that I have no idea. maybe try passing the ball...
