Frustrating to say the least.Īnother major change was to the physics of aerial balls. So when Ngolo Kante darts across the pitch to cut off a pass, his first touch will often bounce straight back to an attacker.
When defenders make tackles or intercepts the ball often sprays farther than it should, regardless of the ball control or ability of a player. That’s just one example of a range of structural changes that have resulted in defending having a genuine skill gap - where experienced players can really show their ability. Calling on a second player to jockey or delay an attacker then diving in with a figure you control is a skill that, once learned, is quite enjoyable. Things have also improved when defending with multiple footballers. A defender can stick out a toe to poke the ball away at the last second - or clip a striker’s ankle and send them sprawling.
The players and structures of defending have been significantly revamped and - good news - defending is fun again! The variety of tackle animations has increased, and bodies come together with a genuine feel of physicality. The biggest change players will notice when taking to the virtual park is defending.
