Help needed

Hi

Guys I've started playing online and I'm getting destroyed. There are clearly a couple of button moves I don't know about - wondering if anyone can help with the following.
Pace - Everyone I play is quicker than me - like I'm talking about Rafael Marquez being quicker than Thierry Henry. I use R1 for pace - is that correct? Anything else?

Strength - Everyone outstrengths me in 50/50's no matter who I am and who they are - just had Robinho muscle out Patrick Vieria which can't be right. Is there a button I should be pressing for strength.

Closing down - how do you get your computer guys to close down people. The people I play are always really really close to whichever guy I pass to so that when the guy changes to him he's right on top of me. However my guys all stand off the opposition players so when I L1 to get someone else, he's miles away from the guy with the ball.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you play on random condition? You'll find that players may be weaker or slower if they have a down arrow whereas someone on up arrow can appear invincible. If someone like Henry has an up arrow, it's gonna be hard to play against him, especially if one of your players has a down arrow.

Another thing it may be is something to do with lag, as I find sometimes when someone else is hosting if they don't have a decent connection, my players seem weak and slow.

Closing down may be all about formation. Your opponent may be playing with players very wide which will create a lot of space for him.
