Defense for through ball meta - pass block assistance: off

The Meta has always been the incisive pass to the wingers, because the fullbacks can never follow them properly. The fullback slows down, like it is trying to intercept the pass too late, then it gets too slow to recover and follow the winger.

Today I tried to disable this option: Pass Block Assistance: Off

Just like magic, now my fullbacks can track the runs. Not just that, the entire defense is better for manual defending.

Try this and see if it works.
