EA SPORTS FC™ TeamHi @AirGare2109, thank you for the feedback.
In order to check it and report it to our Team, please share a video clip about the situation you described in your post. I believe you must select the defender and run back to follow the striker, but we need a video to confirm that.
Your forum does not allow for video upload of any notable size. You knew that. So I have attached screenshots.
This is not a knowledge issue on how to control players.
This is broken defensive logic that other online forums show this has been a problem for 6 years.
The defensive line in question is in white. They are all 90+ overall and they have 95+ defensive stats/ratings. You can see clearly in the final shot that they have completely lost all concept of proper defensive shape.
The most unacceptable part of this is that no professional center back/defender would drop off 30-40 yards to keep a runner onside, let alone the defender not even in the same zone as the attacker. Even a "50" overall rated professional defender would catch this error after 5-10 yards of tracking. They would never drop so incredibly deep and leave the back line in shambles like this.
This needs to be fixed. It is a massive problem in a game claiming to be realistic.
