Can't Defend Anymore on FC 25? Just Do This!

Defending in FC 25 Will Never Be the Same Again!

New FC 25 DEFENDING Meta Explained! How to DEFEND Post Patch

[darrenmorris]

My defence keeps moving out of the way for apponants to score. It's ridiculous

[aitisnakonen]

i just cant handle this defend anymore... wtf is this defending now?? now every match ends like 9-8

[darrenmorris]

It feels like ea us pushing my players away to not tackle. Feels broken

[agb]

Played 19 matches today, lost 17. This pain brought me here😂 it feels like my opponent doesn't make an effort to beat me. Just though pass and he is alone with my GK. If I place my player between his passer and his receiver, his pass just goes sideways around my defender and intro his receiver's foot who places himself flawlessly. When I try to pass, the ball moves slow, my receivers stay hidden behind the opponent, and he intercepts. Honestly, I don't know what I am doing wrong with this game. Used to be decent player on fifa 14, my last fifa player before this.

we went back to the bullshit ass defending we have always had in fifa

[gracjanstrzelec]

Thank you! I struggled in div1 conceding many goals. Right after watching this tutorial I had my streak to the elite div. You helped me A LOT:)

[carrynmudumani]

i was using ball relative but Im now learning player relative because its better at mantaining shape ane in tight spaces thanks for this

[SlottyKloppy]

Great so now we have to control every aspect of this game 😂 players don't run forward, have to control keeper, and now we have to hope our defense doesn't get cooked by through balls

[Blank______________XD-yt]

What I have found is the best defence is to attack I have stuck it on 95 high line in a 442 scoring on average 4 goals a game and if I just keep on passing and doing first time tackles it doesn't give the opponent a chance to attack anymore feels very strong

[mgleduardo]

My players looks like slow jogging when are pursuing the opponent. Is very hard to reach a through ball, or catch any fast player in counter attack. My players barely run, like i werent presing R2 all the time.
I can run faster with te ball than without the ball..
I play career mode with simulation settings. I don´t play in ultimate team, so, i don´t know if there are any diference.
Any tips? There is some button that should press to actually sprint fast? or something to activate in settings? Or is just that the game is broken?
is frustrating trying to reach an atacker who is going alone against the goalkeeper, but my player is slow jogging, when the oponnet is running faster.

Defending is destroyed after this update and every game is now 9-8 etc, it’s like first you attack, then I’ll attack …. There is no defence anywhere now..😂

[-youngish]

Sunny - in your opinion, do you think they overcorrected with this patch? I'm liking it for the most part so far (am div 2 and have always liked manually defending) but the offense seems like it's on steroids now. Wish EA could do these patches with a more measured approach but the community seems to want 12-11, dopamine spiking matches.

[josephchavez]

THIS GAME SUCKS! Moves slow again and defense with TOTY icons both as cb do nothing!

[RickyRicardo]

With 3 attackers and a cam on shadow striker role kinda don’t matter for average players or below the attacking right now is insane

[a-q]

great video man, thanks...i was so mad playing seasons when my defenders werent doing anything 😂

[sivasegarannadarajan]

Im not sure where to start, but everything seems falling apart. Literally opponents are scoring from the start. My defense players are not tracking, even team mate pressure is not running towards the ball carrier and just staying static most of the times. Im using 2 cdm, with holding and defend, but they will still be high up and leaving gaps and my defenders to deal with strikers. Maybe its because i use custom controller setting where rb for sprint and rt for team mate pressure. But, this should not be an issue right?.

[sully]

Jockey+ is gonna be the new meta for defenders

[LetsOGGE]

Crazy. This is my FIRST year playing FUT and have only just adapted to this ‘Meta’ defending and got to div 3. Now it’s reversed back to how I use to defend

[gorillapods]

defending meta just means you actually have to be good now 😂

[bigplaya]

im sweating to defend while my opponent is just ballchasing and winning every ball because of lukaku like touches
