FC 27 Defensive Positioning and Defensive Shape Need Improvement

I would like to see defenders maintain their positions and defensive shape much better.

Defenders currently lose their positions too easily, especially when the opponent applies pressure or moves the ball around the box.

I would like the defensive block inside the penalty area to dynamically switch between marking attackers and becoming more compact to protect dangerous spaces.

When one defender steps out to engage the ball carrier, the rest of the defensive line should automatically adjust, cover the space and maintain the overall shape.

The defensive block should also be more resilient against sustained attacking pressure. Good manual defending should allow the player to control the first defender while the AI teammates maintain positioning, cover and balance around him.

I am not asking for stronger AI defending that automatically wins the ball. I want better positioning and defensive structure so that manual defending becomes more effective.

This would make the defensive system feel much closer to real football.
