I agree that EA need to sort out this running from kick off goal issue that has been about for a while.
In the meantime. Drag one of the players from either side of the centre circle to the CM position before they kick off. The key then is to engage with the opponent if they are about to start a direct run at goal BUT... do not lunge in. Hold position and stick with them. You need to stay goal side and do not let get around you towards your goal.
They will eventually run out of space and look for a pass or you will steal the ball back.
Not saying it is going to always save you. These are scored in real life very rarely but it is possible.
Going forwards EA needs to seriously tone down this direct run from kick off.
For now though, stay strong and defend it best you can. Crowd them out.
@blue166 I have managed to stop them a few times. It's just frustrating when they manage to get through and score. From my experience playing this game, you seem to be most vulnerable after you score. As soon as they are about to kick off I am wondering if they are going to attempt a kick off goal or not. I breathe a sigh of relief when they pass the ball back to their defence. It's annoying when I am there trying to carve out a goal and possibly get something from the game and your opponent exploits a glitch to get a cheap and easy goal. I know I could probably exploit the glitch myself, but I would rather win, lose or draw fairly.
A lot of people do try this method on me. Even when not successful they still keep pursuing it. EA could do with introducing more errors into running directly with the ball from kick off rather than buffing dribbling.
Don't forget a slide tackle here and there and even the hard tackle.
@blue166 It's a total rat move. Just played two people in a row who tried it. One managed to score so I waited until they had a corner and paused the game as they were about to take it and let the clock run down then paused it again, let the clock run down and then again for good measure. I figured if you need the point that badly then you can wait for it, I have all the time in the world. I played one opponent a few nights ago and he kept trying it but I was successful in getting the ball off his player everytime, one of those times I managed to go up to the other end of the pitch and scored. It didn't deter him though, he rage quit in the end, because I was winning 4-0 and I'd managed to stop his player from exploiting the glitch 5 times including the kick off at the start of the match.
