Transform Your DEFENDING in FIFA 23 - MUST WATCH NOW! 

👍🏻 up if you r struggling too 😅

Problem is the Ball keeps bouncing back to the Attackers often, no matter how good you tackle. Or they just glitch through you or shoot through the defender. And in fifa23 this seems to be way worse than in the previous years.

If the midfielders are behind the attackers, how would I fix that? My midfielders end up just standing around when the forwards get past them.

Me: don’t defend with CBs use my CDMs FIFA: will only switch between my CBs

Defense is everything on the game in order to win matches as much as possible. If you don’t conced, eventually you end up scoring at least 1 goal most of the time. There are so many chances

Top vid! Thx!! What is that camera angle/setting, seems like u have the best overview about the field

Great video. Great narration. Overall, very well done

Great content as always. Can you do a video of the types of tactics you would use in game? Like Balanced, Attacking, Defensive, and Counter tactics for different in-game situations?

Thanks RG11! I would love to watch new videos from you about player instructions at a high leve (not tied to a formation necessarily). What are the most balanced formations. Updated video on shooting. Video about attacking from the wings. Video about attacking down the middle. I loved the dribbling video you made. Thank you again.

Hey can you do a video on how to utilise space or space correctly loving the content really helpful as always 👍❤

I do pretty much everything you say already in this video. I'm still unable to win a game without outscoring the enemy its ridiculous. I like playing career mode and playing slow realistic games but it's impossible to defend. People just run through you and if you ever try to tackle someone they just leap past you srsly this is the worst fifa I have ever played thank god I got it on sale for 15 quid...

Tip 1 doesn't work. If I defend with midfielders then my opponent runs past me (because my players are slower than every other player) then is through on goal because my defenders are NOT in position. This is bar far the most frustrating FIFA which I do not understand. How do I tackle (why is my opponent always skipping through me)? How do I run (every player on every opposition is faster then all my players)? Shooting, I score 1 of 10 shots, my opponent scores 3 of 3. I simply do not understand this game. It's nothing like previous FIFA games I've played.

i’m like one week amazing at defending then one week i want to stop playing fifa

Good but most of the goals that I concede are kickoff goals or bicycle kicks from corners

I'm very very new to fifa and I can never take the ball from my opponent when I'm running to him unless he makes mistakes so what button I should to win the possession back faster?

Yeah but sometimes connection won’t let you pick the player on time and but the time you do their player is already making a run and the pass already on the way like you can’t intercept it or catch their striker cause of the delay

what camera setting do you used?

Good video ... 2 things though- do you jockey, sprint/jockey? and 2nd the gap you had in midfield when you said tactics were too offensive etc how would you fix that? I struggle all the time with that thing, instructions stay centre and stay back whilst attacking doesn't work, for me at least

i've never struggled so much with fifa

I appreciate the video (and the effort), but these cases are too specific. Would have been interested to know general ideas (not 98 pace Mbappe vs Ramos), or some custom tactics, maybe even show what buttons to press on a controller. But GG nevertheless :)

Bro nice tuto but I think the key is use jockey move couse when the people use de jockey move in the perfect time the game change a lot so if you do it just one video when and how to use the jockey move. Thanks

When should we switch onto the defense if our midfield is ahead of the ball? When should we sprint back controlling our midfielders? I’m confused here

The defending with your midfield is a great tip works a treat my wins have increased and goals conceded massively decreased.

Im using tactics where my CAM Is going back to the defense And CDM So im basiclly defending in 7,8 with cms so oponent has no where to pass and i can intercept him easily

you should make one how to defend cutbacks

Hi. May I know why my defense always go up or in high line even I use drop back or even very low depth. Its like my players never defense and always go high. thanks

What camera r u using

What’s the best control when you give a through pass to ya striker bcos most times I lose it to the defenders in attacking??

Make a video on how to read your opponent and increase your sense of anticipation.

6:23 "And that gave Brouno Guimarainx"

How do I get the ball off jairzinho?

Also losing balls due to bad passes.. They score so easily on me.

The thing is when you’re playing against cpu it’s different. Your team is slow to react , the switching is not intelligent; instead of switching to a defender to defend it will switch to a midfielder when cpu is attacking and bad passes and sometimes your player even pass to cup or run away. What causes that?

can you do a video about tactics. Im new to fifs and struggling

This is great when you face the AI, but players don’t pass the ball to already covered players, instead they will use skills and while you defenders cover someone else, your opponent just goes to the big opening and scores

What camera angle is that ?

I like the concept of the video, however, this lacks showing the most effective settings to use for successful gaming in defence.

Ah yes def realistic when a player am not controlling just stands there looking at the striker pass by him and the defense leave a giant gap in the middle very fun

I have been watching your vids on the low for a while now. im not exactly a bad player…pretty decent. been following your steps and everything in training and in game(online) but for some reason…i just cannot best these playing…ive been playing for months and i have 0 wins…imagine. i always try to keep a level head…and listen to music while playing..to keep calm..but somehow these players always find a way to score even when im 100 focus

What formation is good to win games without tricks ( I’m not good in that )

Eusebio from 4 mtrs finesse every time goes in so you line up as much as you like

All I want is to win the ball when I win it not going back to my opponent every time I win it, that’s it period.

Last night played a game my guy made 50 tackles by half time we were tied then I kicked it up in the second half they rage quit

I’m not disrespecting you but I do have a question is this for ultimate team or career mode?

The problem I'm having is my defenders won't even get close to the opponent. I have a player who is trying to approach the attacker, but he can't reach him because every player on my team is, for some reason, slower than every player on every team I play against. So I change player and upon changing they either stop before starting to move, creating space for the attacker, or they go the opposite direction. Or, of course, it switches to a completely different player and by the time I get the player I want, my opponent is through on goal at a speed which I cannot catch. The most frustrating Fifa I have ever played.

idk why i cant defend in this game, knocks my confidence so much

I cant tell if im bad at defending or just need to change my tactics because every time I have a corner or free kick etc if i lose the ball (which I do a lot on corners) they easily go on the counter and score it happened today when I conceded like 3 chip shots over my keeper in one game because I lost the ball from a corner.

When I press with mid fielders my back 4 will watch attacker run through them

I don't even have ps plus i get it for the weekend in like 6 months i have it now and my defending is not good at all

you need to track runners,but what if there are 2 or 3 runners making run?

Great but how do i keep my composure when I'm playing a promotion match. I always lose it and give away goals.

Hello, we need to add Arabic translation if possible. Thank you.

My issue is that people can just run into me, in front or from behind and get the ball, without pressing O and lunging, but if I press tackle, my player lunges in, and they just run around me. Also, how the hell can I push defenders off my attacker? I'm sick of sterling or something out muscling my maldini

I manually defend and the bounce back and all through the legs are stupid.

How to def against winger? I struggle it alot when the opponent just use their wingef to get into my box?

It's very strange why when defending, AI just stays silent, doesn't move much when the opponent opens space, to be honest, I have difficulty defending in Fifa 23, especially when AI stays silent looking at the opponent

@ 2:05 you could’ve got greened by a good player tbh.

Yuppp

Why is it then my AI are useless but then I play people who’s ai never make mistakes and my attacking ai stop making the runs they usually make? Simple, it’s DDA, certain expensive players make your players play worse and before the “you’re just had comments come in” I finish 18-2 and have finished elite since 21, this game just sucks.

but if u track the runner they can just hold the ball and move in beacuse ur mid is exposed

I struggle to defend is laggy gameplay. My players feel like they’re running in quicksand, and my opponent sprints past them

It's not the tactics. The AI midfield is broken. The gaps are so wide from midfield to defense, even if you are using CDMs. Makes the game not fun. Easy to score 4-5-6 goals a half, and let in just as many.

and how to attack when their whole defence is set?

🕵

I want a tutorial how to defend against mbappe and jarzinhio 🙂

Bla BLA BLA but fact is that a recently patch destroyed the gameplay, f.... EA

Hello. This looks very easy out and u get ball back every time,but with me is a way oposite ,my center backs are never in behinde the oponent,he is passing the into my penalty area and no defender of me is to find, i get so many dstupid goals because EA is switching my players and dong exactly oposite of that i want... Oponenet is going through my players is no way to defende my self,my players are always far from the ball and oponents attackers ...I am not so good player but i have lost many matches from people who are not playing better then me but EA fix everything, I get golas from 40 meteres and i have Yashin on goal, I feel that its nothing i can do when EA decides that i will lose. Does anybody have a logic explanation or tell me what wrong I am doing? Thank u all who takes some time and replay on my post.

We’re not diving into tackles *Militao slides in* This was pretty useless tbh

What I don’t understand about the first tip is why the defenders play the runners onside. You always have to manually shift the defenders back in line. Worst fifa game ever

👍

this is what we call park the bus defending =))

Nooot enemies 91 lb has the same pace as my 99 Ovr Neymar comon 😂

I’m depressingly bad, how does anyone remember all the button pressing, skills.

You basically don’t tell us how u are doing it at all. You’re explaining a lot but we still don’t know what settings you’re using which button you’re using and exactly … what do u mean by Let the AI do it ? How do u enable the AI help ?

These never work for me I must be shit😂

i get humiliated on counters.

See I’m starting to realise why fifa 23 is broken. You have to be a good or even great chess player to make the right move to defend where attacking is much easier. I made it to 1st division but this has been the worst experience. Following all the tips in the video but having Mbappe do 3:18 where u have to do is a semi decent through ball and it’s almost a certain goal. That and player speeds in certain occasions. Will have to wait for EA FC loooool

Can’t lie I’m just genuinely shit at this game so I need all the info I can get😂😂😂

These tutorials are bollocks mate if the game wants the opponent to score there’s no way to stop it. It literally makes one persons team feel useless so they can score it stops u playing literally I remember in fifa 21 u could jockey and line a tackle up sort of lock it in and tackle and move away with the ball in a smooth motion this is just not possible in this game. And the passing is atrocious. High rated cards with high rated passing stats can’t make a 12 yard pass through a huge gap it just gets intercepted by the opponents ai. It’s so frustrating the way this game stops you from playing

It's really bullshit that the best way to defend in fifa 23 is by using your defenders as little as possible.

All the time defend with midfielder?

1:08 that back 5 is in the worst position they could be, way too close to the ball, way too much space between them and the penalty area. FIFA is a sport, but it's definitely not soccer.

What your camera

The higher the difficulty the more errors you do. Wtf is that logic. Man EA really knows how get people raging and breaking controllers. Also my defender would become like a fookin grandpa half way through running and defending.

Once again, another FIFA in which it is recommended to heavily AI defend. Players park the bus and AI defend, it’s been that way for years and kills the fun. I’m not blaming the maker of this video because he’s right.

Why in this angle of camera look so bad lol looks like gta 2 graphics

FIFA = NHL

Does fifa sometimes just go against you no matter what you do? I'm far from being the best but generally can play. Last week I qualified for the FUT champions league, hardly won but OK. This week... Nope, in fact I've regressed. Can't defend, can't create let alone score. I watch your tips and formations but fifa is totally against me now. 🚮

after fifa 19 fifa game r worst game ever defence system r just joke

too much talking

Show more less explain

This FIFA is utter BS… defending is impossible!

Can someone with a better voice do this vid I falll asleep yo his mono tone

Your vids are so great man. I just started taking Fifa seriously because I’m a new football fan from America. I love the sport because it’s new rules to learn and understand. Been having fun but watching a lot of your videos have helped a lot. Thanks RG! 🫡

It makes no sense because if you don’t take they just run past
