These vids are very educational. Because you keep it simple I have time to see what is going on at the buttons too. I think many of us lose it at the simple things. I for sure am!
No one ever talks about but the hardest part of defending is player switching if you can player switch well you would automatically become a much much better defender
Unfortunately the game mechanic doesn't always cooperate when trying to switch players. I have tried every different method and have found none are fool proof. Contrary to popular opinion, I like button switching better than stick switching.
the worst part about switching is that. It will never switch to who you expect in tight situations. Sometimes button switching gives me a fullback when the clear logical choice is the center back. Why would I want to change to my left back when Mbappe is coming fullsteam at a cb that has his feet in cement regardless.
I don’t think you understand how many people play this game solely because of your videos. If it wasn’t for you a lot of us wouldn’t give this game the time of day. You’ve revived our passion for the game.
This has changed my game completely. Instantly started winning loads more games and going up divisions. I didn’t realise how much I was coming out of position and missing tackles all the time. Great content!
Damn, exactly the same bro! I scored many goals but conceded too much, didn't know I was defending so aggressively and that I opened up spaces in my defence for the opponent in that manner. This changed a lot
Came to this video last night at 1-8. Finished 9-10 just by not overcommitting and controlling my defenders all thanks to your advice. Saved my sanity some. Keep up the work because you're seriously making the game fun and worth playing. Can't thank you enough
Exactly what I was needing to improve. I've always been an agressive defender, but this year because of the slower player movement I've been struggling alot. Thanks for the video!
I felt the same. Being over aggressive used to work great in previous titles but this year I was conceding 3+ goals per game, even in lower divisions. Jockeying makes a huge difference.
@@andreidmny could you help me with something bro? When Neal says do not bring the defender forward when running jockeying how do we move the left analog because I always push the defender forward with that or do we not touch the L analog at all when pressing L2 and R2 around the box and only use it when the opponent tries to dribble?
@@StellarSpectacles Try to keep the player in formation. You are using the left stick for movement but instead of constantly pushing towards the opponent, hold the player back and try to stick to his position in order to avoid creating a gap in your defense.
Hey man! I just wanted to thank you so much. I was stuck in division 4 and i always won 1 game and then lost 2 and just kept repeating that until i watched your videos. Im now in div 3 and almost div 2 and havent lost a single match since then
I kept on losing even though I could feel I was the better player. Conceding stupid goals. I really couldn't figure it out. This video is really the first one to get it right. This is literally a game changer!
Thanks man, this was the best defending tutorial I ever seen. No pro player avanced stuff like all the rest. Finally a tutorial where the recreational player can do something whit instead off pushing 5 buttons a time and freak out. Keep up the good work
Hey brother, this video is exactly what I needed to see. I kept rushing into the ball instead of defending the space. Totally turned my game around after following your advice from this video and your custom tactics one. Thanks! 👊
I can't believe I've been playing FIFA for so many years and I got away all this time by barely using LT (jockey) at all. I found FIFA 23 to be much more unforgiving when it comes to bad defending and simply following this strategy has immediately decreased the conceded goal count. Thank you!
Unreal advice, was stuck in my stubborn ways of rushing out for the ball and breaking my defensive line, finally took some advice and i noticed the changes instantly, so much easier to defend now, thanks
Thank you, this video popped in my feed I blazed through Div 6 without a loss, I watched it twice to see how you manage to defend, so I tried it out this week. The 1st game was a huge learning curve I did lose however, but I took the time to get well adjusted on how to use this technique as my brain was constantly trying to over right what I just learned and i wanted to keep pressing RB to press or double tap RB to start man marking runners. This really works and I defended so much better and conceded a lot less as well.
This man Neal is underrated I’m performing very well with your 4222 tactics and also with the 4231 But 4222 is monstrous Your biggest fan from Saudi Arabia
Mannn… you just made me realize, I tried to drive a Porsche without ever driven a buggy before. And I was wondering why the hell I am always having accidents even though I bought always the most fancy cars. KEEEP DOING YOUR THING BROTHER!!!
He is saying simply defend.. simply. Dont overcomplicate. Focus on the basics first. Hold position. Hold shape. Not try to rush with defensive contain too, partial team press etc
Thank you 😭😭😭 Finally scored 3 goals and kept a clean sheet on legendary Edit: this worked for one game in career mode the defenders are pulling back their foot when defending or not tackling 🤦🏾♂️
Wow, I am amazed. I was already pretty good at this game and at fifa 22 (my first fifa in a long time), but there was something in my gameplay I did wrong. I was kinda stuck in div 4 and I didn't know exactly what it was, but now I know I defended way too agressive. I thought that by pressing my opponent I would give him no space to pass or play the ball, but I actually opened up spaces in my back line for his through balls. I watched this video and I had to kinda get used to it, but I went from div 4 to div 2 in a single day. I concede way less goals and my counter attacks are even more powerful now. This means a lot to me, idk if you're gonna read this but thank you so much bro!
thanks for the reminder to not commit all the time, ive been having a losing streak recently and it sucked, i know its just a game but I wanna have fun too, i will try to implement this later when I play, hopefully it improves my defending haha
MAn thank u very much. İ was defending with using tackle button. Now i realised that how hard job i was doing. I didnt know that there is easest way in fifa how to defend. Thank u very much.
It worked like Magic for me, am so thankful for the tips, was struggling a lot in div6 now I feel a lot better coz the games mean something to me, i am not raging even though I lose matches coz im in control of gameplay/i can comprehend what is happening, before this all I got is players running on top of my head and simply wasting my time but now the game is entirely changed for me Thanks a lot, I am forever in debt to this post which changed my life in fifa for better
It’s crazy every year every TH-camr comes out with a new DEFENDING TUTORIAL. And yet not one of yous ever mention how all the best players seem to be able to pull our players from behind constantly and not give away a foul.
Best defender tutorial iv seen this is how I defend and it's so simple you will still concede goals but no were near as many . And your find yourself having more chances up top due to winning more defending duels . I was in div 1 struggling to get my 8 wins I started to defend this way I won 9 games on the spin I'm now in elite 😎
New to the channel, pretty average at fifa but I suck at this fifa hence why searching into TH-cam how to get better 😂, came across this video and kept a clean sheet in 3 consecutive games in div5, still getting to grips as I’ve always been an “aggressive” tackler in fifas so I still like to press circle but trying to just jockey and let the AI do the work, already noticing a massive difference so thank you. Liked & Subbed, excited for future content. 👍🏼🎮
The biggest issue in my defence is that when I switch to track through balls the ai makes lousy movements away from the ball and by the time i pathfind it's too late.
As much as I normally like to criticize this game, I do have to admit that it is actually pretty realistic in terms of what you need to do to be effective at defending. It's like my old high school coach used to yell at us defenders constantly "Contain! Contain! Don't overcommit!". On the con side of this however we were always taught to good ball playing defenders and play out from the back (no "boom ball" is what the coach said) which as we all know can be disastrous on FIFA. I still do it as often as possible though 😜
I’m still fairly new to FIFA and oh my word, I had no clue about sprint jockey and it completely instantly transformed my defence! Can’t believe how good it is! I was constantly getting outdribbled by everyone and their dog but now I’m like a brick wall! Thanks dude!
In a way you are probably at an advantage being new to the game because you will learn it as it is now, where all of us veteran FIFA players (my first FIFA was 02) have to get over legacy controls and movement, which really have changed in the last few editions. For me the last few fifa's have been the hardest because you get used to doing things certain way then when it changes it is that much harder. The games are almost now the opposite of older versions. It used to be better to be aggressive on defence, and attack with a slower more methodical build up. Now you need to back off on defence and counterattack the shit out of your opponent when on the ball.
You're a game changer Neal I saw comments on this video and I thought it's like any other tutorial well Neal you're the best I got my swagger back and my fifa mates are doomed because of you. Thank you mate! well explained!
He’s legit I watched this video and used what I learnt and my bro couldn’t break my defense as strong as before he did score against me but because they were rebounds for saves
I tried this with legacy defending it was not successful. I however did try with tactical and it did exactly what you described. You may want to update your viewers on the settings as well. Thank you for the video. It helped a lot. I am beginning to frustrate my friends and AL these days 😂😂😂😂
As soon as tactical defending with the jockey was introduced in fifa and legacy defending became poor to use I completely lost the live for fifa , I even became very good at jockeying with tactical defending but just can’t stand using it , I refuse to play like that so I still use legacy but my players just don’t stick there legs out to tackle , drives me mad , any tips on legacy ?
I already defend like that, conceding 2 goals in the last 5 mins 😂 but seriously patience on both sides of the ball is my big problem, rush passes and then dive in and concede. Will definitely just slow it down a bit especially defending
Damn man. Thankyou so much, needed 2 more win so bad for the 11 win in futchamps as i been demolished for 5 games in a row. You’re the best! Needed this. 🙌🏻
I'm getting destroyed by guys that get the ball on the edge of the box and spam skill moves and quick passes. I try what you say to do but the skill move always beat the defender or the quick passing makes me switch to the wrong players. Not having fun with the game.
Seriously. You have no idea how much this video helped me. Thank you so much bro! i watch most of your videos but this video not only helped but it happened instantly as soon as i applied what you said! Much appreciated bro.
Great content as usual… there is another thing Neal, everyone is shooting like crazy outside the box, what can be done with that if I’m just holding my position and waiting for the opponent to come to me…
I defend exactly the same way. Only thing that holds me back is the nerves and panic I get when the opposition get into the box, I start flapping like a bird 💀😂
practice in rivals, TRUST YOURSELF, if you lose dont matter, reach the milestone you wont get relegated, think of it that way, trust yourself dont flap, but glide like a bird, hold your position like you part of the Macedonian Phalanx
Great video as always Neal! Defending is all about mastering space, just like attacking. You need to predict opposition runs, cut out passing avenues and master pressing; it's easy in theory but hard to master and comes with experience and practice. Which is why IRL most kids just follow the player with the ball blindly lol
First match after watching this I won the game felt so easy to play because i actually know how to defend now, Thank you so much your actually the best fifa coach
Thanks a lot man I was good at defence in fifa 22 but this year im so bad, and now thax to you i won 3 games in a row and i think that im getting better
This video literally improved my defending instantly!!! Thanks a ton. I’m actually able to win games more consistently. I can see all the toxic play styles getting countered and the game is actually fun again 😂
This video has helped me understand defense a lot more. I always want to play online but my defense has always been my death sentence. I'm gonna implement everything you just said and try to get better. Thanks
Mate i discovered the game from the start once again. I did not use it at all and and I always wonder how people can defend like this.. Thank you so much!
So you say you don't use jockey or L2, but in the video you mention using jockey which is L2??? Would like more clarification on what you meant in this video, since looking at comments i'm not the only one confused
This is the best FIFA tutorial! Before I watched this, I conceded 3-4 goals every match. After I watched this, I nearly clean sheet every game with 5w1D tonight and some of the opponent quit game🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks you! Very useful!
The biggest issue I seem to be having this Fifa is when my opponent is breaking usually on the counter attack there will be one of my defenders who seems to run with the attacker for a stupid amount thus playing the entire attack onside leaving me wide open, even using to offside trap players aren’t quick enough and lazily run forward playing them onside leaving the over the top ball through ball for the attacker. This never seemed to happen last Fifa
I followed your steps and found that something felt really wrong. And yes, indeed, if you don't use your contain button, on air balls or in tight situations, your player won't press the enemy player and they will eventually shoulder push you off the ball and win it. I was losing most of my air balls and close quarter fights for the ball because I wasn't using contain just as you said.
I cut out pressing (b) tackle button and played with Lt more or holding Lt and art and n won 8 in a row..thank you my Lt b constant pressing was letting me be so open
I’ve been defending very similarly to this for so many years. I find the AI doesn’t tackle as well. I’ve had players walk past me and my defenders just watch. And they are so close to the attacker. Anyone else finding this?
I might be wrong...but maybe when making these tutorials, a brief note on what play configuration will be key. Eg. Classic, alternative, custom. So they understand which button works for what.
Thank you very much for spending your precious time to make such helpful videos don't really know how to thank you but thank you very much... You've really worked
Great video! I‘m writing you from germany. One question: Regarding the controller settings you meant „High/ lose Balls and LOW. I know that many PRO'S are not telling the truth but Nicolas' has this setting on manual and none. what do you say? Thx and greetz

Instantly helped me move on to the next checkpoint, thx man, clutch
This is the best FIFA tutorial! Before I watched this, I conceded 3-4 goals every match. After I watched this, I nearly clean sheet every game with 5w1D tonight and some of the opponent quit game🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks you! Very useful!
The biggest issue I seem to be having this Fifa is when my opponent is breaking usually on the counter attack there will be one of my defenders who seems to run with the attacker for a stupid amount thus playing the entire attack onside leaving me wide open, even using to offside trap players aren’t quick enough and lazily run forward playing them onside leaving the over the top ball through ball for the attacker. This never seemed to happen last Fifa
Got the same problem
Looool yeah same problem.. I gotta have a fast cm/cdm to try cover that space
Wow. Tried it out. Works like magic 😂
I followed your steps and found that something felt really wrong. And yes, indeed, if you don't use your contain button, on air balls or in tight situations, your player won't press the enemy player and they will eventually shoulder push you off the ball and win it. I was losing most of my air balls and close quarter fights for the ball because I wasn't using contain just as you said.
How can you prevent through balls?
Omg tysm for the tips it helped me alot you dont wanna know how many matches i lost before watching you vid😅
Your videos are so underrated just seen this and helped out massive
I hope this helps me I been losing some dumb ways all day today 😪
I'm coming from FIFA 19 to 23. I'm so behind its not a joke 🤣 I definitely defend like I'm new at the game. Thank you hopefully this helps me
Super effective improved my game alot thankyou for sharing this
Love your videos. I have a question, do you keep the analog speed on?
no i dont think.
5 games i lost in a row listened to your advice and won so thank you so much mate 👍 💪
I cut out pressing (b) tackle button and played with Lt more or holding Lt and art and n won 8 in a row..thank you my Lt b constant pressing was letting me be so open
Hey mate which would you recommend.. tactical defending or legacy defending
Thank you so much I’ve gone from losing 3-0 to winning 5 nil
Thank you a lot that's what we need to improve, just simple things like this can get me better , Keep it up 🤝
Wait so he says he doesn't use l2, but then he mentions l2 and r2???? what button is he NOT using and which one is he using?
Hey pal ..is your R2 sprint button?
I’ve been defending very similarly to this for so many years. I find the AI doesn’t tackle as well. I’ve had players walk past me and my defenders just watch. And they are so close to the attacker. Anyone else finding this?
I might be wrong...but maybe when making these tutorials, a brief note on what play configuration will be key. Eg. Classic, alternative, custom. So they understand which button works for what.
classic default
What are the controls for Running jockey while using Classic set up
Very cool video but I have a question. What if the player just takes a long shot?
Thanks for the win. God advice! 😂😂😂😂 Man, it was so sweeeet
Is it legacy defending or tactical defending?
You know you said like three times in a row that L2 is useless, and immediately after each time, said something like "I just use L2 and R2."
Thank you very much for spending your precious time to make such helpful videos don't really know how to thank you but thank you very much... You've really worked
Now how do you stop through balls? What do you press?
You absolutely nailed it!!. Thanks for helping us.
Do we need to press the pressure button or manual run ?
Does the run and jockey work with legacy defending
Good guide for div 10.. And beginers
Great video! I‘m writing you from germany.
One question:
Regarding the controller settings you meant „High/ lose Balls and LOW.
I know that many PRO'S are not telling the truth but Nicolas' has this setting on manual and none. what do you say?
Thx and greetz
Thanks man I've been getting touched online this was really helpful
