Re: The Art Of Defending...

Who is Anders?

I have two ideas when defending, I'll explain them and you can maybe help and decide if they're being used incorrectly.

Second Man Press: I use this when I'm looking to cover the passing land and I allow the computer to press the ball - and if the computer gets into a good enough position, I switch and try and take over

Partial Team Press: I use this when I want to take on the one v one, and I want the computer to cover the possible passes they have available.

I also try, and it's a work in progress - but when I'm jockeying I look to use the faster jockey when I have more than an inch of space between us, and if I'm closer I look to switch to just the standard slower jockey, I feel they put in a better cleaner tackle when using the slower one.

...this is all I have right now, and even this isn't stopping some of the 6 - 2 matches I'm in. I know I've got to take time to learn it, but it feel that the fundamentals I'm practicing might be wrong.

@VinEnzo He is the pro who went I dunno 300 games undefeated or whatever it was a few years ago in wl. He won the pro scene last year I believe. You can watch his videos or other peoples break down of his defense if you want to see how he controls 4 defenders at the same time by swapping. That’s how he pinches the offense then switches to a cb to intercept the pass once the offense player is boxed in.
