Why is my team never intercept the ball during matches? I use manual defending and auto defending, trying to positions my players on the balls traiectory but without any effects. Normally my opponents have quite a lot of intercept passes during a match while I got none. Is anyone have the same issue like I do? Is it the lag or something else?
Doesn’t sound like a network issue—what you’re describing isn’t something that would be affected by latency. It’s more likely down to your settings, formation, playstyle, or possibly even a bug or logic flaw.
Personally, I stick to an attacking setup—players press harder and fight for the ball more, alternatively neutral (sometimes asking for a 2nd player). The "Defend" option has never worked for me. It just turns the team into a complacent and ineffective bus parking, and I used to concede more goals using it than without, so I dropped it entirely.
Has nothing to do with that. The ball is literally passing through my players and I have zero interceptions during a match. I mean even out of luck I should at least have one or two.
Hmm, not even once? That’s odd. My players do charge out often (also Buffon sometimes wants to play higher than Neuer IRL, which is more annoying than not).
Is it happening in PvE, PvP, or both?
I had the opposite issue with passing—it did not do proper through balls for ages. It’s slightly better now, but still nowhere near where it should be or how it behaves in a real match.
PvP. Not even one interception. And I use manual defending, and try to positions on the ball traiectory and nothing. Passing, a lot of times I get teams that won't let me get out of my own half or mark my strikers tight making impossible to play them.
You should try to record this so you can get EA staff to pass this on to Devs. It is definitely a very odd behaviour. I didn't experience anything like that and I do see my players charge out when they need to press with the aggressive/attacking mode (or even neutral), so go figure what causes it.
It sounds like a bug caused by something with your particular setup (config, settings in a mix with formations? or something to that effect).
What's your lineup (can you upload a screenie of your H2H team? Wanna see if you have any players I use, etc, so I can pay attention to their specific behaviour etc)
Mines:
Ignore OOP, Hristo is a menace up front haha. Also, both wingers are working well as subs for the outer CAMs (they do play more like wingers anyway)
