Record ur games and watch them back, i find it really easy to critique my gameplay and see what i do wrong and what i can do better.
In general the best tip ive been give is to "go where the space is, not where u want to go." I think a lot of times we try to force plays and once we lose the ball, the enemy team is 1-2 passes away from an open goal.
Also this game is very left stick and R1 dribbling heavy so do that, most opponents wont press you and will wait for the perfe t tackle so move it around. Always remeber that when we defend we feel the pressure more cuz we dont want to get scored on, the opponent will feel the same when u have the ball.
