How to make sure defenders always stay back?

[criplejim]

My defenders always go forwards too much when I'm attacking (even with attack arrow to my goal) making me vulnerable to counters and trough passes. How do I make sure they stay back and always infront of the opponents attackers so they can't give trought passes?

Try playing deep, hold L2 and press triangle for the quicker way.

Turn backline onto A in settings and offside trap to B

No, don't turn backline to A coz that makes them push up. Turn it to C to make them sit back.

Offside trap should be B or C in this mode tho. If you play the offside trap so close your goal and the opposition spring it, you're buggered. Best to take it easy in that respect.

I would put your counter-attack to A if you are playing defensively tho. You don't want to attack with most of your players still back defending.
