AI High Press - Completely broken!

Question

I speak on behalf of the EAFC Community with this one. The current state of Ultimate team is the worst to date. The 71 depth and over “meta” is so broken. If you’re an average fifa player like myself, some games you cannot get out of your own half due to the ai pressing so much every player is marked so you end up being swarmed or simple passes intercepted. No matter what formation or tactics you use it changes nothing. I was really looking forward to the new concept of fifa this year, but I am in a current state of not wanting to play the game again until this “meta” is heavily nerfed. It’s effectively the constant pressure tactic without the loss of stamina.

EA please fix this!!!

@itsElzy I know exactly what you mean, it’s almost like the AI is defending and then behind them the opponent is selecting a player to control. I think it’s important to mention that it’s not just the 71 depth, it is also the opponent choosing play that style.

I couldn’t quite figure out what it was. I usually play 55-60 depth but tried 71 depth with teammate contain to see if this was what they were using, but it didn’t seem to work – maybe I am just so used to selecting the player closest to the ball! I very much defend manually and feel more rewarded for doing so.

When a good player uses this method it’s hard to break through, but quite often the player cannot actually defend themselves once you break that line!

dude, have played for at most 5 hr, local multiplayer against my friends. so, i may not know about 24 much and the thing u mentioned could be different in 24 BUT,

I not at all think that there s a problem w constant pressure. its a risk/reward thing and again I dont agree at all that it doesnt take away stamina. it deff does.

finally, let me try to help u deal with constant p. you play forward passes and they either get intercepted or are tackled right after ur player controlled the ball who has his back to the opponent. So, when u see opponent team runs at you with like min. 5 players, you will play back pass, even to ur gk, and then you will build up from there. u should not rush and play forward pass when under constnat pressure. after that bakc pass, a simple lob pass will make at least 3 opponent players drop from the game for that moment. and from there on, its all up to you.
