Stevie G Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Obby Bhai,5 at the back wont work against barca,especially the lob passes will rape your defense.Get your defenders to run backwards in custom formation+get your wing players make runs towards the middle+specify a player how should he approach the game by setting the defending and attacking to either low,medium or high+plus go to custom tactics reduce the gap between your players. If it aint working normal,go for Custom And play practice matches with 6 defenders and see how your players react to your custom formation. @azaan well explained thanks bro But I feel 5 at the back will work against Barca.The key advantage you have when you play Barca is that they have no physical presence so you have to concentrate only on ground threats.The key thing is to not commit on messi coz if u do u will get cut 100 times out of 100 .Try and block messis runs by standing in position rather than charging at him.

killzone123 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Obaid Bhai The key thing is to never press o .If u press o theres a 99% chance you will miss your tackle and then the attacker is a long way off. My advice to you 1.Play 5 at the back (Even I play 5221) 2.Dont press the x button unless absolute necessary meaning try to not attack the striker unless hes in an attacking position like crossing the ball or shooting position.Just try and defend space meaning try and hold the players position.Dont let your players commit into any tackle.Plus if u play 5 theres a good chance ur defenders will block many shots. 3.When your opponent is in a dangerous position like very close to the box use r1 . Also 90% of the pros will try and cut your defense and some will try to usefake shot,to counter both all you need to do is not commit your defender. These are 3 things that Im using and so far I have done well . Lost only 2 of 31 matches so this kind of defending works . Ask if you have any more doubts? 1.i play with this formation...5-3-2 if i remember correctly..so thats good enough right? 2.over here you say "Just try and defend space meaning try and hold the players position" how to do this..mean i dont press any button on the controller or what? and just sit back and wait? also the player that was previously selected by me,i mean the one i was controlling,what to do wit him? dont i have to use L1 to select the player that is near the attacker..or just wait and dont press anything...till my player automatically is near the attacker? this is the main place where i am being confused 3.understood that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killzone123 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 You were awesome in the first match ....yaar if this td thing would not be there...i would have been much better..here i am missing out something,,getting confused etc...so thats why playing so horrible Obby Bhai,5 at the back wont work against barca,especially the lob passes will rape your defense.Get your defenders to run backwards in custom formation+get your wing players make runs towards the middle+specify a player how should he approach the game by setting the defending and attacking to either low,medium or high+plus go to custom tactics reduce the gap between your players.

Stevie G Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 5-3-2 is superb By defending space I mean keep using Analog and try and run in the same line as that of the attacker example-Suppose Messi is running at you ,dont charge at him try and use just the analog and sprint combination to try and anticipate his run.Do not press anything else.or if you cant anticipate then Just keep on falling back till you are in a position where Messi is overcrowded by your defense .It basically means holding your line . Secondly if you dont switch ur player then the other players will hold their line as well.So My tip would be to switch players in mid but not in defense as switching too many players might mean 2 of your cbs are out of position. The key thing is remain patient.Fifa is a 13 -14 minute game . Note defend space only till the area near your box after that you must use r1 to try and close down the player. Any more doubts ?

killzone123 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 5-3-2 is superb By defending space I mean keep using Analog and try and run in the same line as that of the attacker i got to use L1/R1 to select a player to do that ? or just move the stick only? example-Suppose Messi is running at you ,dont charge at him try and use just the analog and sprint combination to try and anticipate his run.Do not press anything else.or if you cant anticipate then Just keep on falling back till you are in a position where Messi is overcrowded by your defense .It basically means holding your line . so again i just use the stick and sprint button...and dont select the player by r1/L1... and falling back..just use stick to do that?nothing else Note defend space only till the area near your box after that you must use r1 to try and close down the player. again till that point of time ,i dont press anything...R1/L1/x and just use stick? and when its near the box almost then use r1 and x..right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie G Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Use l1 to switch players. Yes use the stick and sprint button,its one of my biggest secrets .I have used it since 11 while others used to press pressure button alongwith the sprint and stick.I found out that by using the sprint and stick you retain the ball faster.You might have problems in the start like controlling where ur def runs but once u get used to this you will see that its very effective. Ya dont press any unless absolute necessary.Basically instead of defending direct you are trying to force the opponent to shoot from areas where he isnt likely to score .I use this against Legendary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie G Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 why use l1 then? i mean i just use sprint and analog right... l1 is when the attacker is very near to box ...lol sorry for the trouble If you have doubts you ask Use l1 once to get control over the player thats closest to the ball .Once you have done that do not switch again as it means 2 of your players will be out of position but if your opponent passes the ball then you again switch. Basically switch to the player closest to the ball but switch only when he passes the ball around .Switch more in case of an opponent who passes a lot but switch very less for a player who tries to cut you cause even if you get cut you will have others in position to stop the attacker.

In earlier fifas switching a lot helped defend but now its the other way round. Also another tip would be to use your strikers to fall back,since these guys are quick they can close down very fast .Use them to close down on opponents central midfielders.
