9 Tips For Better Defending (I Wish I Knew Sooner)

Thanks now I play worse😅

Perfect Video. Very well explained 💯💯

I can’t defend and my big is always at 60 🤦🏻 I keep getting cooked in division 5

Mehnn i’m going back to efootball. Fifa defending requires a 5 star course

Bro where is russian translate?

EAFC 26: From Football Simulation to Dribbling Simulator

I’ve been raising this everywhere because this game genuinely feels ruined now. EAFC 26 is no longer about football—it’s just a dribbling contest.

Even average players with high dribbling stats can walk straight through top defenses. I’ve faced situations where players like Gravenberch or Tonali are casually dribbling inside my box against defenders like Maldini and Desailly—and there’s nothing I can do. Interceptions don’t work; the ball just rebounds back to the attacker every time.

After the new season update, defending has become even worse. AI defenders are clueless—while I’m manually tracking a winger, the rest of my defense just stands or walks instead of positioning properly. It feels broken.

Earlier FIFA titles rewarded tactics. You could use any formation you liked and win with your style. Now, only certain “meta” formations work, and everything else feels useless. Why even give multiple formations if only a few are viable?

This isn’t about being a pro or not. Regular players who understand football used to have a chance through proper gameplay. Now, if someone has players like Ronaldo or Ronaldinho, the game practically plays itself.

This isn’t realistic football. This is just skill-spam and broken mechanics. At this point, it honestly feels like EAFC should be renamed to “Dribbling Simulator.”

I used to play for hours. Now I can barely play 2–3 matches before quitting.

Please fix defending. Bring back balance. Let football matter again.

Please make a video that explains the core basic mechanics. I lose a lot from get pushed/tackled from behind. I think its advance defending and bruiser, but when I try nothing happens. Also experience that people dont preform regular standing tackling, instead just run into the player and get the ball. Still strugle to find videos that explain the elementary game mechanics. Need to understand then to understand the rest. So please make a video that explain the basic stuff that people think everyone should know. Also how to run in this game, I get out paced in both attack and Defence

I just want to play fun football man 😅 not pressing a thousand buttons

Its so difficult and bulllshit to defend on this game honeslty like wtf how is it that i tackle someone just for them to still maintain the ball or the ball land back directly at there feet and score this game simply doesnt reward you for good defending and is also too reliant on A.I defending buts same shit whent the next game drops

i agree with all this stuff but sometimes when it comes down to it the game just feels so one sided and you cant get the momentum built up. So every game i play i just hope i have some success, i should be able to apply these tips & tricks to become a better player. When i make the right call my players just dont respond the way they should and im stuck asking what went wrong and where.

Fifa so bad we gotta have full on courses to play good
