If you expect AI to do all by itself, it just doesn't work that way. The reason it works for opponent is that we don't understand how second man press works - defenders are always close but harmless, if you don't panic or try risky pass.
Yes you need to set up manual jockey and get gud with predicting opponent movements. You have to play good manual defense, that's the key. No high pressure and team pressure will save you if you don't know how to play extremly good 1-on-1 defense.
Incorrect.
I'm very good at manually defending, just like you explain yet I suffer the same problems as the OP suffers. Players are able to play right through my defenders, my defenders won't attempt to make a block or perform the inspector gadget leg routine that I see over and over again.
People are able to pass the ball in and around my box at will, despite me blocking the lanes and smashing **** out of the tackle button they are able to sail right through my team. Shield doesn't work at all.
Try passing it in their box and it is impossible as it will be auto intercepted.
I'm glad it's not just me.
What else bugs me is that I get tackled from directly behind some how, all the time, but when I try it, they shrug me off. It really is just the game trying to even the playing field because i have 60-70% of the ball.
