In one of the previous updates you ruined defense without auto play

You made it so that even without auto play the defender doesn't obey to the joystick and he is glued to the player with the ball. Also he can't get near the ball as if there's an invisible wall there. And when near the ball, even if i drag the joystick backwards, the defender will still sprint towards the ball. Before one of the last updates it worked fine. 

This is a very big problem, especially in 2 on 1 situations, and when i know what my opponent is about to do. I know how to stop him, but the defender just doesn't listen to the joystick.

And not being able to get near the ball just creates ridiculous situations. Play with your friend and tell him to just stand still. You will find out that to steal the ball you have to move away and then sprint, otherwise it will be very difficult to steal the ball even when he is standing still, not doing anything. 

Please fix or add a new mode for Zero AI. This mode should allow us to have FULL control over the defender. He should just go left if the joystick goes left, right if right, back if back, and forward as well, without invisible walls. and also it should prevent the controlled defender from making tackles by himself based on AI. Often the defender just tackles the air for no reason at all.

 What's happening here is unrealistic, not fun, and causes us to concede goals. We are smarter than your AI, believe it or not. Just let us use our skills. And leave the ultra AI control for unskilled players.

  • I've also noticed defenders just stand there and don't position themselves appropriately. With a fast striker you can just speed by everyone.
