Advanced vs Tactical defending.

I use Advanced defending. I think it has been a great addition to the game. However, I think it skews the skill-gap when you play someone in an online mode who uses Tactical Defending. 

Upon checking the match stats after such a game, it’s clear to see. The opponent can have like 50-70 attempted tackles with only a tiny fraction of those being successful. It’s clear from the gameplay that these go unpunished for the player using the old system. To attempt so many tackles, surely the opponent is just spamming the tackle button.

For this not to have a discernible affect on their gameplay, it makes it akin to playing previous iterations on tactical, while an opponent uses legacy. The game should punish the unsuccessful tackle attempts more, in my opinion.

    Having used both and played against both I don't see it as an issue. Legacy defending was ridiculous and only needed someone to hold a button to tackle. Tactical defending is not that and like advanced still requires one to try and read the game. People on tactical defending who press tackle and don't know how to defend do get punished. They are lunging around and missing the ball.
