Never really used drop back for any length of time, and like most find it increasingly frustrating to play against! Pre patch I tried it for a few games, but just couldn’t make it work for me. I’m a manual defender and after years playing Fifa the same way I just couldn’t stop myself from manually closing down with defenders and leaving gaps in my defence.

After a frustrating WL where I just about scraped Gold 3, where every player I faced kept every man behind the ball and their dog, and just countered all day long. I decided I’d give drop back another whirl (I know I’m not proud of myself). Now with the patch notes stating when playing drop back AI players will no longer apply any pressure to the ball! Isn’t that what makes drop back so frustratingly hard to play against? Now I don’t have to worry when I lose possession and my inability not to fall into old habits, my team just runs back and forms a wall! Am I missing something, tried it for 8 games today and my defence has been as solid as it’s ever been!
