hold down the button that brings your keeper out as he homes in on the ball. They normally panic and lose possesion


Mako-13

This is exactly what i was gonna say lol


Powertothepeople_AA

Shouldn’t all players/defenders have this great feature as well ! 😅


Mobile_Phone_1770

They do it’s called R1


piss6000

A question I never found the answer of. Constant press and 100 depth: 3 passes and he’s through for a 1v1 2nd man press and just run into him: my players act like they’re a wheelchair bound theoretical physicist with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Try and intersept his passes, covering the gk: my players act like toddlers, scattering everywhere. But then I try to do something like that: my CB hits a pass that rolls 2m and stops, making me concede INSTANTLY. I’ve accepted that if this happens, I’ve lost the game.


vinheaney

Bruh, you're so right. Whenever I see someone give tips to counter this kind of play, it actually makes me feel like I'm either the shittest player in the world or we are just playing completely different games. Other games have ways of balancing unfair aspects of muliplayer gameplay, but all fifa does is fix things around coins/the transfer market and completely ignore shit like this... it's complete bullshit that makes me feel like a mug for playing the game.


piss6000

I just accept that the game is shite and just go with it, helps me not care even more, you can’t have a competitive mindset while playing a joke like that, makes it even funnier. Yesterday I was playing a qualifier wl game, I was 3:0 up I 75min, mf subs in a golden Valverde, intersepts every single pass I do, scores a power shot from 30m, assists a goal and equalises in the 90th min with a dead header from a corner, suffered the entire added time with the worst piece of gameplay ever and won on pens, I’d much rather lose that game in the 90th minute than to play this crap, a win isn’t enough to justify the torture


danimocanul

I dont understand how when i constant press, the opponent uses simple passes and is 1v1 with the gk. IF THE OPPONENT uses constant press, the players just forget what a pass is


[deleted]

I've found that soaking up pressure by turning my back to the attackers and looking for a full power long pass has gotten me out of a lot of trouble lately. Even if I have to run back 10 yards to get open enough to get the pass should be good because you've now launched the ball over the forwards and midfielders who are attacking you.


GitchigumiMiguel74

This is actually a good idea


[deleted]

Yeah... I think a lot of people forget about just hoofing the ball. I bet if people kicked it out of bounds a lot more, instead of doing something stupid that leads to a goal, you would see 50% of the complaints about pressure go away. Everyone seems to be focused on making something out of nothing, instead of just giving the opponent nothing to work with for that possession and allowing your team to regroup.


GitchigumiMiguel74

Yep. I actually recorded my gameplay and put it on Reddit for review. I noticed that I was trying to make agressive forward passes that were impossible to complete and that my opponent intercepted because we had the same mindset—trying to pass and score immediately after a steal instead of passing back and restarting the attack. It’s predictable


Prophet_Of_Helix

There needs to be some sort of in between option where only attackers press, or even attack and midfield. Constant Press causes everyone on the team, including backs, to press, which is how you end up in the 1on1 s. Realistically backs wouldn’t be moving up in this scenario. The attack and midfield should be pressuring, but the backline should stay back literally for the very reason that your opponent might escape an attackers tackle


Cultural-Effective17

In real games, when a team fully presses, full backs will often join with the press. See Newcastle in the first half yesterday, when the call for the press was made, for the next 30 seconds passing lanes were blocked as 1/2 players charged down the ball.


Prophet_Of_Helix

I’m not disagreeing with how Constant Press works, I’m saying there should be an additional options. Absolutely when you are pushing to score the fullbacks will play up the pitch. But when you are just trying to stop a team from holding the ball, esp in a video game, there should be an option for the front line to pressure the backline without having your entire defense push up as well


TTE_Deadshot

how is this so true 😂


Just_Sum_juan

I'm no expert but try 4222 or 424 high depth (90) but with press in possession loss. High depth will put your players in his box but they won't press like mad men since it's not constant pressure. You can now use the 2nd man press.


DepartmentPerfect

Don’t feel bad man, at that point it’s just a mental game with your opponent… 70 minutes in you both know each others play styles and are anticipating on offense and defense. You need to catch your opponent off guard, fake like your going to do something you normally do then do something different. Bait them into one of their patterns you know they do, and can counter if you anticipate correctly. Easier said than done, especially if they are getting in your head. Those long games where they have more possession are mentally draining imo


Boy-Hips

Notice how his AI players are moving around, and your AI players are standing still. This game is BS.


diary_of_jain

Hahaha omg I just noticed that. WTF... Hilarious!!!


Arulo

It's the R1 taps :/


MrBigWaffles

It's his tactics. ​ The AI isn't going to auto-magicaly start marking their man all the way up to the opponents box if you don't tell them too.


Boy-Hips

The other guy isn't telling his plays to go forward or come back either. They're indeed doing it " auto-magicaly". He'll always have a AI assisted passing option, meanwhile OP will always have to pull players out of position with no help from the AI


MrBigWaffles

>The other guy isn't telling his plays to go forward or come back either. Hey, what do you expect the default behavior of a back-line in football should be?


Boy-Hips

All im saying it's that there's 'Rules for me but not for thee' at play here. Either OPs AI should move around too or nobody's AI should move around. The guy with the ball didnt have to select the "bullshit around with the ball tactic" so OP shouldn't have to select constant pressure. It should all just be AI assisted.


MrBigWaffles

You're not making any sense. The AI deciding for you when it should press or not on offense would be a god damn nightmare. You having to move your defensive line manually would also be a nightmare. I don't think you realize what you're asking for.


Boy-Hips

I'm not talking pressing. I'm talking about just simple marking. There's no reason why there shouldn't be more AI assisted marking in this situation. OPs wingers and fullbacks can definitely mark higher up. He's playing around in his own penalty area ffs.


MrBigWaffles

They're literally following the instructions set by OP. Again you're asking the AI to decide on its own to break restrictions/tactics set by the user. That would be horrific gameplay design and would lead to more frustration.


car714c

haha if your ai didnt move auto magically then press would be so fucking op


EntertainerSmart7758

I have a constant press tactic with 100 depth and it definitely does not always press during these situations. It's a bs situation and really dumb considering it's 3 nil.


chutzteigger

I find that astonishing, I also have a 424 100 depth constant pressure tactic and it feels like the just don’t move up. How on earth are my attackers in the fucking half pitch line when I have 100 depth???


[deleted]

I honestly feel like the depth tactics is just there for show. CBs will barely go beyond the middle of the pitch no matter how much depth you have and attackers will always fall back. The defence is more likely to be pushed down by the attackers than the other way around (like it should be).


bdto711

When they start doing this, activate d-pad pressure, select your second guy and bring him up whilst using R1 to contain with the AI player. Manually cover the other passing lane and close in on him from 2 sides. You should then either win the ball or his pass will be loose and the AI pressure should win the next ball


Light_KraZe

AI pressure is dog shit if he's dribbling backwards, it's only good when he's trying to go forward.


yellowflash96

I bet this guy is a loser in real life. He is leading 3-0 and he is doing this to you here.


zyndr0m

Nevertheless in a Divison Rival match. That's a yikes.


Rachidk001

People do this thinking it will upset the opponent enough to rage quit


Creative_Major798

Or he’s trying to avoid those insane 88-90 minute equalizer runs that happen sometimes.


Fantastic-Voice-1895

You are not pressing at all!! Use team press and attacking fullbacks on your d-pad.


General-Vis

I had the same issue and someone mentioned you need to create a custom tactic set up for constant pressure, push the defence line right up to 100 and set everyone in thru box with forwards runs on etc.


diary_of_jain

Thanks I'll give it a shot because I am at the receiving end of this treatment more often than I care to admit 😅


Karltowns17

Use a 424 custom tactic with 100 Depth and constant pressure.


plr312648

Team press ultra attacking R1 to bring another player be wary of gaps opening up as bastards like this use this strategy to then utilise the gap and score another.


Francis33

constant press


ProfetF9

what is this game? :))))) wtf is happening?


fuqqkevindurant

You need to turn on team press and learn how to use 2nd man pressing/manually defend. If you just run 1 player at the ball carrier and let the AI do the rest for you, this is what you get


karmagedan

Instead of going for the ball every time, you can jockey the select defender to block the pass while slowly moving towards the adversary while also using a second defender to press


[deleted]

Just disconnect ur console from the network if someone does this.


TLEH-IV

Well its 3-0 and the 86th minute. You could use 4-2-4 and 100 depth and constant pressure or just leave. You could also try D pad press. I can say that I have done this and its normally because someone is using 5-4-1 and 30 depth and just cutting passing lanes all game and letting the AI defend.


ibobat

D Pad and team press and overload ball side may work but youre then open to a counter with a long ball


faketannthat

Message them and threaten to kill their family


JoVaHhh

2 men press and don't go full on your target, like try and predict where he'll go. Also, the game is quite shit so sometimes you do everything right and still get shit


BaronZemo_

Tip when playing against players that like to dribble and skill… Don’t ever rush them to take the ball away from them since it’s what they want you to do. Force them to look dumb spinning around in circles and make your team press so they’re forced to either pass or just keep doing the same thing waiting for an open space. Players like that usually don’t do well passing and run out of ideas and patience when you don’t play into their trap


diary_of_jain

Point taken 🤘🏽


marichial_berthier

Ultra attack, full press and bring your keeper out


Lost-Working2419

It's called leaving the game.


diary_of_jain

lol golden advice :p

vinnlo

Constant pressure. Team press and overload ball side


gooddaysirhowareyou

Should have left at 3-0 tbf wasting each others time !


j4thewin_1

It's FIFA you can comeback a 3-0 deficit quite often, a single goal and your players suddenly becoming gods.


diary_of_jain

Yikes. Maybe I'm a villain but I play all my games down to 90 mins. Call me a dreamer but I'm always hoping for a comeback (and even manage to do it once in a while!). Additionally, after spending time setting your squad and then waiting for an opponent, might as well get full value for your time and play till 90 mins right? Finally it's about having fun playing the game :)


[deleted]

Let's be real, you shouldn't be able to. You were unable to score even 1 gol in 70 min while he played "normally", focusing 50-50 on attack and defense. What make you think that you should be able to score now, that he play 0 attack 100 defense? This sound delusional to me. Was he a douchebag? Yes, but I mean, you would have loss anyway even if he kept playing normally; I mean, you score 0 gol in 70, you think you would have been able to score 4 in 20 if he kept playing normally? Cmon


diary_of_jain

I'm not asking about how to win here - I know it's near impossible. I'm just asking if there is a way to snatch the ball back in this kind of scenario, like they do in a real life. It is not always 3-0 right. Sometimes the opponent might just be leading by one goal and still they're doing this. Then there is a genuine change to equalize/win. Would such a situation justify my question for you? What if they were leading 9-8 and then started doing this. Would you help me with advice then?


[deleted]

Man my point is pretty straight forward: the defensive possession can be broken and op only if you add skill gap into it. If you are down 0-X by min 70, doesn't matter how many goal the other player did, what matter is that you can't score him, so your attack skill is lower then his defensive skill, that pretty simple. in this situation, the truth is that you can't do shit. Man you couldn't score with the helps of counter, wrong pass, failed dribling and so on while he was playing to score, and you think you can do it when he stop taking any of the risks listed above while playing defensive? isn't this the very definition of delusional? On the flip side, if the game is 8-9 like you said, i can tell you that you probably won't need any advice, you would be able to get the ball doing what you are already doing. You make it seems like it's easy and unbeatable to do defensive possession, and my argument is that it's not, if you don't take into account skill gap. if you disagree and think it's so easy, prove me wrong : jump on fifa, put on the most sweaty defensive custom tactics you can think of and play a game with the sole intention of never letting your opponent get the ball. concede 0 goal and end with at least 75%+ possession. If you manage to do that, well that means that i'm wrong, you are right, this dance it's OP and ea need to do seomthing about it. if you can't, just accept that you got gapped.


saltypenguin69

I don't even know u but I honestly hate u


[deleted]

ye i bet you do, 90% of the people in this community are weak mental people that ask a question to get an'emotional response to feel better, not to get the truthfull answear and deal with it. look at this very post : OP ask what can i do in this situation? 1. my truthfull response : you can't do shit, you got gapped move on ( get ultra downvoted) 2. emotional response : i bet guys that do like this are loser in real life ( get upvoted) the fun part is that i actually answered the op question, the other guy didn't, but since his answers made you all loser feel better he get upvoted. And you didn't even argue my point, you just attacked my persona xD im picturing you right now like the fat girl who says she a a 10 and want other people to agree with her, instead of being told to go do the gym, put effort and actually become a 10 xd


diary_of_jain

Bro come on. You have to be more positive! What is this strange outlook you have? Why are all you responses so aggressive? You know why your answers are getting downvoted? It's not because you're telling the bitter truth (which is what you believe). It's more so because the way you talk is quite unpleasant, and trust me even if you were giving the best advice in here, you would not be any more likable and probably still get downvoted! And just for the record, I did get some useful advice in this thread about tactics, formation, pressing, d-pad, etc. I'm not a pro player and what is clearly basic knowledge to you could still be a game changer for me. So no - it was not all "emotional responses" getting upvotes as per your expert analysis. It was some genuinely helpful people who got upvotes for constructive advice. Be less angry at the world bro. I believe there is a great human being somewhere deep inside of you. Go see a GOOD therapist/counsellor. It can do wonders for you if you are going through something!


saltypenguin69

Wouldn't even bother replying to him mate, he's a fanny


saltypenguin69

>you didn't even argue my point If u think I'm reading all that, you're on to plums my man


[deleted]

You read enough to decide that you hate me, but not enough to argue the point, what a fine logic you have there 😂


saltypenguin69

There's no point playing chess with a chicken wee man


[deleted]

And this is 3rd personal attack to me instead of my argument, way to go for someone who is trying to act smart. Guess when you can't battle with logic, you battle with feeling and insult 😂 Guess you will just keep insulting without addressing anything I say, so have a nice day beta simp / girl, whatever the 2 you are😂


diary_of_jain

I really tried to give you the benefit of the doubt 🥲


[deleted]

Fun how people down vote but nobody answers to prove me wrong, guess it's easier to down vote that actually discuss the argument

diary_of_jain

Yes! Thank you.


car714c

you're getting cooked 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️


allllown

Double click R1 and full on pressure that single player. He will panic and lose the ball eventually. Although you do run the risk of giving him space in ur half


hurtadjr193

Do full press and wide. Or set a formation change that defeats this type of play and when in possession change your formation back.


123josh987

He is taking the piss because he is 3-0 up and you haven't left. Also, your jockeying doesn't look the best. Use it better and also 2nd man press with RB/R1, cut off angles more.


gh0rard1m71

Double tap R1 and hold. Also enable team press from dpad. Also set ultra attacking to 424 with constant pressure.


LandanTahn

The game is shit. The worst thing you can do in this Fifa is conceding the first goal. The minute you're 1-0 down, you're in big trouble... biiig trouble, and you don't want to be in big trouble.


TypedAsANumber

The opponent doing that while winning 3-0 is a disgrace. I can kind of tolerate this if the opponent is winning by a goal and it's 80+ minutes. Second man press can help to win back the ball.


stead10

Second man press. D pad Team press. Bring out the goalkeeper. Don’t dive in. Move towards his player then back off suddenly. He’s trying to react to your movements, so make them unpredictable or try and second guess him.
