Same with cutbacks, you can have them marked but unless you bring a winger or striker back to tackle, you’re helpless.
if you have any sort of “delay” you may not ever be able to get the ball of them this year. I’ve played some guys I could not touch until I slide tackled them. Ea coded something horrible into defending mechanics where someone can just constantly turn away from you and you player can’t time a tackle much less try to poke the ball.
