long ball

[kun]

as for attacking im pretty decent, and my defencesive skill are ok. the biggest problem for me is long ball. i can neva defend it, 7/10 goals i concede is from long ball. my friends kick my ass every single time with his long ball. btw he is a specialist in long ball but as soon as the rest know i became the crapist player in the group. but seriously is there way to defend it or tactic for it?

ah that's a difficult thing to defend. well you can either man mark up the attackers, or play the offside trap, or otherwise maybe put your defense deeper. adjust the defensive settings of the defenders to high and put them just in front of the goalie with the sweeper setting. i don't know where these are, you roam a bit in the formation page

well when i play against ppl that just dance with ronaldo all day then i can kick thier ass but with smart long ball player i suck. player like henry, OWEN!! drive me nuts when long ball fly at them. even if i put man mark it still doesnt do anything.

What?!?! Do you press anything when the long ball comes at you? (like try to head it)? 95% of all times the player is covered and his marker can head the ball to safety. The other 5% - try to foul them (if not in the box). And the offside trap, of course.

you made the mistake..again . it's called a chip through pass. try man marking the attackers for once. see how it works. and keep pressing [] for a clearance header. see if it works. the offside trap is a bit of a nuisance

when you are defending you can also choose the last back defender and run backwards to intercept the pass


works well against a freind
