Legacy defending was realistic....prove me wrong.

 What's the gripe about legacy defending, why did it get turned off? Because defenders chase the guy with a ball? Go to any football game ever....little kids, 3-4 years of age, can't do anything yet, can't pass, can't shoot, can't dribble. You know what they can do? Chase the ball, that's literally all they do. So what's so unrealistic about Maldini chasing down the guy in possession of the ball? Not a thing.

So what, people complained that their little dance moves were being ruined by defenders who know where the ball is, so they called it "unrealistic"? Show me a game where a player runs with a ball while defenders just stomp bugs around him because that is what's happening now. 

Defenders knowing how to chase the ball is very realistic, they reason they don't do it all day in the game is because it opens up spaces and tires them out. Now what do we have? We have defenders who won't even walk towards the ball in their area, who won't take the ball if it rolls right through them, who won't even stick their foot out if it goes past them, defenders who are stuck running behind the dribbling player unable to do anything to get the ball. Show me a game where that happens. 

If this was some sort of championship with money on the line, by all means, make your rules as difficult as you want them....but it's a game, it's supposed to be fun. I got Maldini, Campbell, Desailly, and Zanetti.....not one of them have the slightest clue about what a ball looks like, apparently. Yes, seems very realistic now.
