Second Man Press not working in FC25, also conflicts with tactical foul controls

When I am starting a Squad Battles game in UT of FC25, if I press R1 nothing happens, no second man presses, and no blue indicator for a second man press player. If I go into settings and check on the controls, it tells me that second man press is the circle button (PS5), which it isn't supposed to be, but then if I resume the game, second man press finally starts to work as intended, with the R1 button.  However, this also creates a new problem: if you try to pressure a player while using 2nd man press, you can inadvertently trigger a tactical foul and get a yellow card, or worse, if you're already on a yellow card, then you get a player sent off for something completely inadvertent.  Tactical fouls should be an optional control, and one with a unique input that doesn't conflict with other controls.

  • I have same problem. I changed R1 and R2. For second player press, ı push R2. When pressing R2 if push X. Refferee giving foul and yellow card. I think for tactical foul on-off button in settings.

  • In my case, R1 doesn't work at all if my friend controls one player and I control the other. Management does not try to improve these fundamental problems.
  • Hi all,

    I don't know why second player press with R2 stop working on my console, can you help me with this?

    Thank you!

  • Hi,

    We play the game 2vs2 with 4 joysticks.Players on the same team cannot press at the same time. Only one of them can do so.This was not the case when playing fifa23. Are there any extra settings?
    I play the old style of defense.

    Help me plese..

  • Unfortunately, the R1 doesn't work with the new defense style. EA doesn't seem to care about fixing these issues.
