EAFC 24: will it fix defending?

So FIFA 23 royally broke defending in an effort to have higher scoring games.

simple things like players not getting behind the ball, central defenders running away from the ball/player they are supposed to be making, midfielders never tracking runs into the box, all of which are basics of defending.

i really hope the new game fixes atleast these issues as it’s amazingly frustrating. EA should realise That games ending at 4-3 are not necessarily better than a 1-0.

2 other things….defender not marking anyone tracking back breaking their shape and keeping someone on the other side of the field onside when they’d be off.
And for the love of god, attackers shouldn’t be as good as they are defensively.

@scumbagshawty another thing is defenders should be WAY more agile when not sprinting. Players can move really tight with the ball and I hate that defenders move like they are on ice.

1...it is too easy to beat defenders
2...the constant rebounding from a perfect tackle has been going on for years i would rather the ball go to no one then automatically rebound to another player
3...people have had enough because it has been going on for years & players want change & ea have none nothing but release content rather then fix game play
4...the ball just goes through the gk & i mean through him as the shot is straight at them there is no excuse for that period
5...it is the constant skill spamming & lets be honest 99% of the abused skills in this game are not even skills & you never see anyone use them in football period there is no balance in this game
6...anyone remember when a clearance was a clearance for the last 4 games every clearance is a perfect long pass, the modern day developers are so out of touch with the sport they think a 5ft2 women can bully van dijk
