Ball holding

Recently in champs and rivals I’ve encountered many players simply holding the ball and making 1 2 passes with their keeper once the game gets close. When trying to find a way to win the ball back I was disappointed to find there was basically nothing I could do. I’m wondering if there is some better way to combat this, and also to try and suggest some possible fixes. 

when attempting to team press it basically only shifted the players up field marginally, still meaning I only had two players to try and press the ball when realistically it shouldn’t been the majority of my players. I also think that as a whole this type of play should be penalized in game. Rapid passes to the gk to kill time should result in much lower pass accuracy as the passes continue, discouraging this type of play, as well as the ability to flag it.

  • It’s an uphill battle. You need to also change formation that has more upfront. This is a result of ea nerfing defense and buffing offense in every patch. It’s to easy to pass and to hard to pressure.
