Think its just you mate...Im not having problems like that in the slightest. Plus I play as a DM when I do the pro clubs, so my goals come Gerrard like, outside the area. I play UT team too and dont have any problems like you mention.
everything I describe has happened in all 50 odd games I've played about 20 times - there is absolutely, categorically 100% no chance whatsoever it's not happening to you.
Every time your opponent attacks, your defenders will drop, heavily. They will back off. The fucking fly back. EVen with offside trap on, they retreat.
Now, when your opponent then gets the ball, you can try and do something about it, but the fact remains the pass was made, and completed and now they're at your back 4.
I'm saying, when the ball is played into my opponents strikers feet, I want my CB to step up and make an interception. On this game, that is utterly impossible because A. Defenders drop automatically, it's done by the AI. & B. Player switching is slow and laggy, so therefore you can't do it manually.
It's broken, along with the only controller I had. Snapped it in half with my hands. At least now I can't play it until it's sold.
