Very High Defense Line

Playing against a high defensive line

I have notice that on pc the number of users for the MLO mode has increased lately and almost every online game that I play(current on D4) people will set a very high defense line, stick their fingers on the X and RB buttons running around like basketball players all over the pitch,I could handle that well on D5 since the opponents teams wont have great defenders my Midfielders could dribble around and protect the ball but on D4 there is a lot users with 60 million teams and their players are on steroids or something knockin me out of the ball very often,I like to play a build up style with my midfield playing a big role on the majority of my goals but every time I play against this tactic I found very difficult to attack building from the midfield,I have changed my game plan setting, the opposite side attack tactic as my first option and that is working great,changing sides often to gain some ground and make that crazy CB charge at the ball lol
anyways wondering if there are another tactics that I could use to make the game more enjoyable rather than a basketball match.
Any help would be appreciate.
Cheers

yea opposite side attack works great to switch play. i would also recommend lobbing the ball through since there is soo much space now w a high defensive line. so move the ball fast in the midfield and look across for a runner cause the line wuld be moving up and your player would have the advantage.

You describe the very item that makes online play a bore for me, just after a few days of trying - it is more like playing a game of predator and prey than football. When an opponent has the ball in the corner I like to play my defender to keep him in front of me - the same exact way you see it in a real match. If he tries to make a break I will cut him off. But when I have the corner I get butt raped by two of my opponent defenders every time. I hate watching an opponent defender catch up to me from halfway across the pitch and take the ball away with no ability to stop it. Online offensive controls are to slow to cut back with the ball. Forget about using the center of the pitch - four men crash down on you everytime you touch the ball there. I watched an opponent run around a circle around me twice as a taunt before taking it. How can a defender be that much faster. The constant steal off of the goalie free kick to the backer is ridiculous. I know I suck but moreover I am so dissapointed about online play.

you have a point ironcity, the constant barging of your players is retarded. but it looks like to be the only way to win a match online.
or play like 50% of the MLO players, just chop 'em down, cus referees are shit anyways.

Yes, it does become sort of an arms race doesn't it (1 second after the whistle). Do unto other as you wish...... I had the chance to play some very civil - real games by choosing friendly match last night and finally enjoyed online play (still lost but they were fun losses). I think I'll stick there for awhile.

If only stamina was implemented in the game...

apparently in real life, the average footballer can run 10 miles per game in a dead sprint.

The way to get around this is simple. Pinpoint passing. You can do this with your starting MLO team with Castolo, Ximelez, Espimas etc.

Once someone holds X and R1 the player has no freedom and targets the ball and the ball soley. It cant break the run. Use this to your advantage, wait till the defender gets close enough then pass at the last instance. By doing this the defender is way out of its original position and you have an overlap. A through ball after this and your in with a goal.

Do what barce do. They draw a man out then pass at the last instance then expose the gap with Messi/Pedro/Iniesta/Villa running in with a through ball to get a 1vs1 on the keeper. Only difference is that our Messi is Castolo and our Iniesta is Espimas. Same principle however. I used to beat these muppets with their dream teams and same tactics with my original team. Albeit only by 1 or two goals, but still its the same principle.

This stupid crap makes me keep getting relegated to Div 4. Div 5 and Div 4 teams with high defensive lines makes playing a decent game impossible and the lag finishes me off when I cannot make a single ball.

Then the other team comes and score a long shot goal which should be IMPOSSIBLE to score with Espimas or Ximelez or something and you lose.

This game is utter crap. I don't know why I am so obsessed with it.

Follow up question to the high defense line problems... I try lobbing but the problem is not being able to get the ball after a keeper kick and so on.

When the opponent defense is high as well as their forwards being very close to the midfield wherever you head the ball down it bounces to an opponent... Normally of course forwards cannot run from the midfield all the way up to a goal to score but hey its Konami.

So lobbing does not quite work I think. Any alternatives to this TIGHT DIAMOND formation we've been seeing? 2 wing forwards?

The game has turned into FUSSBALL because of this tactic. Kick around kick around.

u are obsessed with it cause it can generate some truly beautiful moments but the price u have to pay for those is dealing with 100s of annoying little idiots...not worth it anymore

as for your question try super cancel and trapping the ball with your chest.
