Honestly, EA sports should just hire you. I have researched defending and yours is the best I have watched so far. Really grateful for explaining from the basics. There are old people like me who peaked at Fifa 2015 and find it difficult to switch/learn these new techniques.
This is the hardest fifa game I have played in the last 20 years, I have dropped from being a division 1&2 player to a struggling division 6, lots of things don’t make sense. The opponent press when you start from the back is so quick that I can’t even play from the back, I never have open spaces to pass the ball, I always get pressed with like 3 players and even 4 sometimes. My midfield is so scrappy, slow defenders sprinting and catching my fast stickers, change of player when defending going to the wrong players, everything is just not right 😮
Same here best i get is div 3, last year 1 or 2 all the year i am not playing that much like last years but again it is to hard to play in 4 o 5 div. Last year when i buy game i lose myb one game until div 3. I see I mostly lose v players from 2023 and 2024 and mostly win v players under 2020 looks like old players have same issue. 😂
I moved from Efootball (20 years exp) to FC then I'm in chaos with FC defend control system. I saw many tuts but this tut is the best of. It clearly, detail and wonderful HUD for knowledge. Gratefull to all ❤❤❤
FIFA removed legacy defense from online for a reason. If I'm paying so much for this game, I should be able to play the legacy option online instead of my defender standing there and watching the opponent with the ball. Absolutely garbage.
Mehn I was watching this video offline 😅 had to come online to drop a comment thanking you for the voice you used to read out the manual, I really love the voice of the guy talking, it’s making it easier to listen to and understand. I haven’t watched it since I downloaded it, I just bought my earpiece 😂. Ay it’s really nice the way you dish out these videos ❤ 💯💪🏾💪🏾
Legacy defending was by far the best and most overpowered technique, there was one simple trick that most people didn't know about. Legacy defending has basically three options that you could use to defend, tackling with X or A, second man pressing and sliding tackle. The key was to run towards your opponent and then when you were only 2-3 meters away from your opponent to switch to another teammate with L1 or LB, but simultaneously holding the second man pressing button. Your AI player would continue to move very aggressively towards your opponent automatically and would tackle the ball away from your opponent and it worked in 8/10 times. The AI defender would simply run your opponent over and block any attempt to pass the ball. The timing of switching to your next player while holding the second man pressing button was the key and your opponent couldn't even get anywhere near the goal or even your box.
I use this but it’s hard when the opponent knows how to shield the ball, I just need to know how to use the second man press on Tactical Mode as I personally think it’s the best.
I've learnt alot from your videos overs the years, mostly on Defending. But I seriously find it hard to get used to 24 defending. I really don't like the mechanics
You speak facts... I was a defense god in 23 buh I now find extremely difficult to keep goals away and it's so humiliating😢. That's how I found my self here in this video😭
@@Im_not_a_psychome too I am good in defending until another yr game comes and I hav to back and watch d basic of another different way of defending in that games it’s always fustrating
I think they are ruining this game with so many complications , The legacy defending is still way way better , defending shouldnt be ao hard , scoring goals should be hard but defending should be easy , that is how game lovers can enjoy the game to perfection.
I disagree. They give you the option to use the one you want and are not stuck with one. As you get better, you will want more control of your attacking and defending, that is where advance comes in.
Even if I do jockey, defenders are just not tackling even after I am facing to player for a while. It just depends on how game decides for you to lose or win. That's stupid. And when I do tackle, it just tackles into empty space rather than to player and it just bypasses lol.
Bro you re right about classic controller settings, i have noticed that too.For some reason jockey isnt so effective when you use alternate controller settings and the problem is that i cant change my controller settings cuz i play with alternate controller settings for six years now.I really dont know what to do to fix my defending...
Please make a video on how to use sprint button when defending in fc24 cause most of us are stuck on holding the Sprint button all the time, cause even in real life defenders slow down when defending not always running for the ball? The question is how can we control sprint or how can we use sprint in the defense please 🙏🙏🙏
How do I use the second man press on Tactical mode? I do sometimes see it activated with a green cursor on the Ai controlled defender but I don’t know the buttons I presed, it happens mostly when I’m panic defending 😂. Kudos!!
It will take you more than 60 days to master the classic configuration if you've been using custom. So don't feel frustrated after the first two weeks. It has become my second nature now after 61days
What’s the benefit ? .. Has it made your game better . I have been using custom for more than 10years, if there it is not going to improve my game and make me lethal then there is no use
Defending on fc 24 is literally difficult.. the AI ruins everything, with the assisted speed and direction.. and even if you decide to use manual it’s still somewhat assisted..
hi, i am using tactical defending. i changed some of the buttons. but when i press the contain button, it doesnt seem to work, my players dont get closer to the opponent. how can i fix this?
😂😂😂 ya neh, I mean is my eye and hand coordination that bad I literally try and follow these tutorials to the tee but still when an opponent is one on one with my defender he toasts them, they get so lost whether I slow jockey or fast jockey I'm so confused and starting to lose hope, I don't mind losing if atleast im im control of my defence but come on 4-1, 5-2, 7-1 at this point I'm at the verge of paying to learn😢😢😢
All mechanics not only in defence,in attack too are broken ,in defense the switch of right stick even if you use 3,4,5,6 or other customisation is worse and worse... 2nd press I don't why exists and now you complicate everything with advanced defending which is a half of OLD legacy defending,than in atack there are some skills that are verry closed to do and if you have a little bit lag and you will, you want to make a skill and you will do another one which is not usefull,than servers this is maybe the big problem why do you do a microskill game when you hace 40,50 ms delay at list??? Why to do this make it simple if you have not servers,and do upgradea when you are ready to do ! Sorry FC24 is the bening of the end of a footbal game which has nothing or almost nothing in common with the fenomen. By the way how can you recover in almost one second the entire pitch with a player,has a BMW engine in his ass? Come on... And then verry well done with the keepers inside the penalty box,they concede,other time save like in real life,but what are you doing with those IREAL SHOTS from 40 m in angle,trivela from the other planet,and the GKjust watch or sometimes flies under the bal ,that goal does not exist in a footbal match maybe 1 in 1000 matches,but if the goalie is under 40 OVR ! So you must change the defense style,you don't have servers,so do simple legacy def + 2nd man press + optimize right switch trigger to do a balance game, than the football matches ussual is about less goal,not very match 6-4,7-6,6-5,when is 3-3,or 2-2 is something OAU, no,when 2 pro players match each other is a 0-0,1-0,2-1,3-1,1-1 realistic score,ok if a pro meets a beginner let it be 8-0, 9-0, without momentum (script) or much less from nowadays,2 medium players 2-2,1-1,0-0,2-1,1-0 ,not 8-7,6-3,and other stupid hockey results,or cricket... The competition is nearby and they promise a clear game,GOALS ARCADE MODE, and we wait for the BIGGEST ANNOUNCED GAME: UFL which has the entire licenses like EA,that's the point and if they are clever can do a simply but eficient footvall game on console in which you will feel the game,learn it and progress,not like EA in which the progress is about to buy ! This will fault youvEA! And in the first season another good step UFL will be free ! If they do the right way even if the game costs 100 euro,if it is good like a football game and 5% or less SF glitches (bugs every game has,but can be removed) if they do this in the next 20 years will have no problems,cause EA in that moment must change everything and they will not,cause in that moment they know that a game is verry hard to reboot and start from 0 ! But who knows? Competition is good,the only bad feeling about UFL is to not be a game under the level of EFOOTBAL, cause I and we the players prefer 2025 nice and beautifuul and enjoyable UFL FOOTBALL GAME rather than a hurish new entry disaster game ! Good luck !

Freakin true m8, before fc24, many player are easy enough to get through Div 1/2
Glad i'm not alone. I put the difficulty on "World Class". Sometimes on "Professional" everytime i had enough of defeats. LoL
I just know you guys are struggling because they made it harder to score those points pathetic cutbacks.
😂😂😂
Simply the best explaination on defending mode. Thanks a lot !
Best defending tutorial I have seen on TH-cam and trust me, I have searched, nothing comes close to this, you win a new sub

Same here, played lot of PES til like 2019. Now got EA FC for 14€ and had to learn this defensive system. And i really like it.
This is the best explanation I’ve ever seen for advanced defensive tactics. It’s very detailed. Thank you!

So don’t play fifa if u want ai to help you defending!

Been using this all along but am getting overpowered now and its tiresome.

What's the second man press on legacy, I personally use tactical but play someone who abuses the press I could see and feel it's automated
@@iamiyke09 what's the second man press button on legacy. Am tactical player just wanna try this out with legacy guy who uses it on me most times
Jockey is for Rookies. You don’t see Tekkz and Anders doing Jockeys. They just charge aggressively towards your players and take the ball.
That's why its about timing lad! Using both is more effective. Jockey jockey attack.
try it and you will tell me the results
I've learnt alot from your videos overs the years, mostly on Defending. But I seriously find it hard to get used to 24 defending. I really don't like the mechanics
The defending is shit simple. Lol. Even when you try.

You have been the hero i was looking for.. jockeying completely turned it around for me.. thanks a million..
been a sub since you had less than 400 subs, dude your content is the best and it's improving in every aspect.
Keep it up bro.
Thanks much bro
Advanced defending requires you to stick out your leg for the ball (timing is essential). Allows you to also tug on players so they don't get away
Best explanation I’ve come across so far🔥
sounds like a training work video lol how you present the topic. diff approach vs the other youtubers. good info thanks!
I have always used alternate control because I have a PES background. I don't typically use classic control.
Same. I use R1/RB for sprint
Box for shoot. O for slide tackle X for press

Perfectly said
I disagree. They give you the option to use the one you want and are not stuck with one. As you get better, you will want more control of your attacking and defending, that is where advance comes in.
You just simply described PES, I find it way too easy to defend than attack
I also disagree. If you want to compete you have to be mobile and block passing lanes/cover players.
This gives you a lot of options just like real life ,making you choose what you want to do
The best, and no other words for this amazing explanation, i came here, i saw the video and i subscribed ❤
Excellent video ❤
Thanks ❤
best explanation....
thanks for video bro , but i prefer legacy defending , and i don't know why it's not allowed in online mode , very disappointing decision .
I too prefer legacy defending but I've come to realise that Tactical gives you an upper hand.
Even if I do jockey, defenders are just not tackling even after I am facing to player for a while. It just depends on how game decides for you to lose or win. That's stupid. And when I do tackle, it just tackles into empty space rather than to player and it just bypasses lol.
Best feedback
Best video about FC ever
Thanks for this …
Please I want to learn more.
My friends have been winning since have been playing with them.
Please how can you teach me better
Everyone needs to watch this video
thanks bro
Bro you re right about classic controller settings, i have noticed that too.For some reason jockey isnt so effective when you use alternate controller settings and the problem is that i cant change my controller settings cuz i play with alternate controller settings for six years now.I really dont know what to do to fix my defending...

Nice tutorial
I use alternate because im used to pro evolution 😊
Thanks bro❤❤❤❤

Use jockey to control sprint
Really helpful video. Keep it up bro.
I have 1 question I'm alternate configuration user. Does this affect how well you perform on defending?
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you broo
Which finger do you use for R2? The index or middle finger?
Please whats the best way to apply my x and l2 when defending on ps4,,,
Defending is top hard
From this year tactical defending have contain on attacker?
How do I use the second man press on Tactical mode? I do sometimes see it activated with a green cursor on the Ai controlled defender but I don’t know the buttons I presed, it happens mostly when I’m panic defending 😂. Kudos!!
If it's classic I'm sure it's O
When playing tactical it’s R2 or R1 (the one you don’t sprint with) but if you don’t use it well there will be a lot of spaces in your défense
Cool ai video
It will take you more than 60 days to master the classic configuration if you've been using custom. So don't feel frustrated after the first two weeks. It has become my second nature now after 61days
What’s the benefit ? .. Has it made your game better . I have been using custom for more than 10years, if there it is not going to improve my game and make me lethal then there is no use
What canera settings do you use?
unfortunately the ai controls the players and it decides when to cut or block the shot and when to let it through
some one explain why should change R2-Print, R1- Finese shot, O - shoot and square - cross please, im so confused..
When i speed jockey my playwrs slide all over the place when trying to chanhe direction
Suggestion post vid after figuring how to do it not before. We r afterall on de clok
What about Advanced defending?
Gonna try legacy defending… its look easier than adv defending
Your gonna be easily beaten, haven't seen anyone successfully defend me with legacy defending

Wins are loading I know
💎🔥
I switch always with L1 no with jocky. What's the diffirent?
L1 is just switching to the nearest player
The only difference between classic and alternate is just shooting and crossing isn't it ?
these tutorials don't mean shit when the servers are so bad
But if you dont press contain on tactical defending they will hardly approach the ball
Don’t L2 and R2 cancel all inputs?
Bro can I play it on i7 first generation, 8 gbram, Gtx 780 3gb?
advance defending or tactical which one is good
Advanced defending works like magic for me
I thought they disabled contain, thanks.
Yh, we kinda moved on to advanced defending 😢 no one uses r1😮
I literally kill people with legacy defending..... just know how to jockey and when to bring the second defender
Tactical or Advance??
hi, i am using tactical defending. i changed some of the buttons. but when i press the contain button, it doesnt seem to work, my players dont get closer to the opponent.
how can i fix this?
use advanced defending if u want your player touch the opponent. tactical will spare some space with opponent.
😂😂😂 ya neh, I mean is my eye and hand coordination that bad I literally try and follow these tutorials to the tee but still when an opponent is one on one with my defender he toasts them, they get so lost whether I slow jockey or fast jockey I'm so confused and starting to lose hope, I don't mind losing if atleast im im control of my defence but come on 4-1, 5-2, 7-1 at this point I'm at the verge of paying to learn😢😢😢
Um Arda scored 7 goals in 7 games for Madrid how about you guys update his overall??? He s still 77! Smh
do you never use x while dedending?
I never use it n I can say I'm great a defending
Hi guys this YES team his using...what's its actual name
And for my work only advance defense
There is no legacy defending online. I don't agree legacy defending is best defending. With legacy you can stop lag slow gameplay and script!
I defend with R1 / R2 switch maney times
Defending in career mode is completely different and blatantly handicapped + its extremely rigged *cough cough* DDA
lol not him telling us what controller settings are better. Been playing on alternative forever and have no problem at all
People are abusing pace. How do you jockey?
