Tried this morning, and sadly, the DM still pushes up way too far. I tried pushing him back in the formation as far as he would go while still being a CDM, and he would still make too many forward runs for my liking.

It's not perfect, but I did find a decent solution. Play your DM as a sweeper (SW), and set him to "join in attack". This keeps him back protecting the back four (a little too close, but eh), and he'll still move forward to help in attack, but not too much.

Not an ideal solution, but it has some potential to be a decent one for now.

Other than that, player instructions seem to work well. I set both my right and left midfielders to stay wide, and come short for passes, and they hugged the touchline for the most part, and were always there to help in build up play and not running behind looking for passes.

I might start a thread just for discussing breaking down tactics, formations, and instructions in the demo. Bit of a warm up for a hopeful full on return to custom team tactics this year.

After playing the demo more last night, I've noticed the CPU likes to shoot and has scored from long range against me at least once in the last few matches I've played. Anyone else notice this?

i played the demo for 5 mins. i shot on the goal - keeper did not catch the ball, dropped it.
And then he just starred at the ball for 1 sec and then he decided to get it..aha okay....

then my opponent made a goal and i watched the replay, my keeper came out without any sense of where his goal is. so he decided to leave most of the goal open ... WTF

-> DELETED

Yeah it does happen with players you expect to shoot, I had Ibrahimovic score a ridiculous long range curler against me.

I also still hate this tactical defending FIFA has, never been a fan because it feels like you are truly not in control of your defenders. Legendary defending is more tolerable but it feels like something is missing.

yeah I'm not sure how anyone can play FIFA with tactical defending to be honest.. it's horrible imo

Yeah I'm usually more of PES guy so for me what I do to make the FIFA controls like PES is I put the controls on alternate and switch to legacy defending and turn analog sprint off. It plays more like PES defending this way to me... doing this you can pressure with x and secondary press with square just like you do in PES

Right now even in the final third I seem to have open passes a lot of the time. I do not have any difficulty passing all the way down the field every time.

is this with playing full manual as well?

The first match of the demo is on proffesional difficulty, you should already know this...goalies don't behave realistically in those settings. Didn't happen to me in more than 100 matches on world class and legendary.

I've hated tactical defending every since they put it in. Legacy is much better IMO.

I was playing on semi. I should give it a try on full manual. I guess what I am saying is that it is a good base but needs lots of slider help. The pass percentage for the AI on world class is soooooo high with every team. Can hopefully fixed with sliders and tactics.
