Obscene amount of successful tackles

[dunlopp9987]

Does anyone else feel like it's insanely easy to win tackles in this game? I'm playing on World Class, and it feels like I'm stealing the ball all over the pitch. However, I look at the tackles statistic and it looks pretty normal. But when I'm playing the game, the other team can never get a fluid attack going because of how easy it is to tackle.

Anyone else notice this?

definitely. This is one of my few gameplay gripes. What makes it worse is that a lot of these clean tackles lead to 1v1 breakaways. Still not fixed from last year.

Way too many successful tackles from both teams...
it's ridiculous how the defenders are all world class.

^^^ had the same problem in the demo playing world class...way too easy to strip the cpu. Tried a game in retail copy using world class level and it was pretty much the same .

Moved up to legendary , and this is where the game shines IMO. You overpursue and be overagressive with the standing tackle, the cpu will kill you.

hope it helps....

Only thing I'm worried about with bumping up the difficulty is how well I'll be able to play. I'm three matches into a career mode with Everton and I've got one win and two draws, so pretty accurate. I'm worried that if I take it to legendary, I'm just going to get slaughtered.

in the beginning you will be killed .....but after a while you will adjust and fare better....

point is, at least, there is a higher level which eliminates the over-easy tackling.

def biggest gripe so far. It would be nice to see the tackles result in some kind of loose ball, but it stymies the player and leads to a little fast break. I think only the truly world class defenders should be allowed to tackle that cleanly, and all other standing tackles should result in maybe a foul or something(unless the offensive player like has a bad touch or something.

I can tell you why EA made tackles easier.

They figured their giving more ball control to skilled players so they felt they needed to up standing tackles.
