i see a lot of 'top' players assign their team players in random spots. for instance, kaka on real madrid at cb.


I believe its because they are comfortable with their raw tackling ability and general defensive positioning especially when doing it manually. The AI is really only going to help in the case when its on auto and the higher stats on the defender come into play, at a higher level that doesnt work especially since people with good control will just trick stick past the AI tackles all day. Its just a matter of people being really good at control and hence pooling their resources towards players with better abilities on the ball rather than without it. Kaka as you mentioned is reasonably strong on the ball and if you can beat a few players coming through from the back it opens up the game for you tremendously. Its really high risk though and really hard to do.

Teach yourself to beat players vs CPU professional levels+ (beat as in take on) this is key high level, the ability to change direction with 100% ball control is a very very neat skill u need for FIFA not jsut in FIFA12, watching ChrissyB this year and some others it seems mostly crossing based still, but the fake pass/cross into a run into the box also high up there. Quick passing, and close ball control focus on these skills. The rest is easily picked up, defending/shooting/freekicks etc that comes from playing alot

Learn to use finesse shot (right bumper on 360) when you're around the corners of the box

yup, i'm not that good but when you get better at tackling it makes no real difference who you have back there. not as risky as putting kaka at the back but when i play leverkusen i'd always put ballack at CB. it works so well for me.

Hey again,

I am now in division 7 but I suck ass. Main thing is that I am nit comfortable with defending. A question I have id how do I intercept a passed ball with a selected player? Most of the time he just lets it roll if I keep holding X (contain? Ps3). I also still have no clue when to use contain X, contain with cpu player, and jockey. I see no difference with contain and jockey really and also I make so many holes in my def by having cpu contain on most of the time. Controls are really fucking vague.

defending is something that takes time... you can easily get the ball by using jockey and staying between the dribbler and the net, and try to anticipate where he's going to go. all you have to do is step into the ball... as for intercepting, just run into the ball... key is just to look at the off-the-ball runs the opponent is making, and then coming between the player and the pass. but again, its something you need to learn through experience to do well.

still dont get why some people can apparently jump from 1 meter behind my player instantly in front of him while taking the ball and controlling it perfectly all the fucking time. when im in that situation my dude just patheticly tries to grab the shirt,fails and the enemy happily runs away.


really not sure if i want to continue playing this game. i mean its fun in itself but its so freakin random and unfair it makes me more angry then i have fun with it.

you have to time it properly not hold it down in advance, and you need to come in from the right angle.
