Auto-defending needs an overhaul or completely removed

As someone who only defends manually, I feel I'm already at a disadvantage. Trying to guess where the attacker's gonna go when he receives the ball inside the box, while continuously keeping the perfect pace to keep distance, which as skilled at it as I am, I make plenty of mistakes, some are fatal and I concede because of it, because most decisions in manual defending are out of pure guess. It's near impossible to do everything perfectly at a consistent rate, after all, defenders are the hardest to control because of their low agility and balance compared to the much better attackers.

Auto defending on the other hand, does everything perfectly, keeps perfect distance, no matter how tricky you are. If you go left, the defender goes left. If you go right, the defender goes right. If you suddenly change directions, the defender will do the same without any delay or mistake. all the opponent have to do is to do nothing and let go of the joystick, while monitoring when to rush or do a standing tackle. And with the perfect angle that auto defending keeps, it acts as auto aim for standing tackle. In addition, no skill move can stun the defender. Which is why most people in FC Champ consistently use it.

All I'm asking is to dumb down auto defending.

  • You get no advantage by manual defending. Before manual defending would allow you to intercept ball, but now... I don't know if you have the same issue but whenever I defend on the flanks and have to turn my defenders slide. If I am using auto defending they don't.

    m3thodmn​ It's hard to defend on the flanks because you'll have to gauge when you let go of the sprint button. whenever you have to turn just let go of the sprint button and try to use the joystick. You'll still fail at times, but that's just how defending is. It's crazy that auto defending does a better job with less effort.

  • I know that but you don't have that if you use auto defending and the distance players slide it's hilarious.
