Default Discussion on players spinning on the ball

OK, so I'm after a discussion about this because quite frankly its getting very annoying. Heres the situation:

Everytime (and I mean EVERY freeking time!!) that someones spins on the ball, they lose the ball and I concede. The player has loads of time on the ball, but the spin and face their own goal then lose the ball.

As I said I want a discussion on this as quite honestly, its THE only thing thats wrong with the game.

Is this a genuine problem?

This has to do with your players skill and concentration. Once he is under pressure, he might fail to keep the ball or pass to other players.

I have players spinning the ball and got into pressure but he managed to pass to front and open up space for other team members.

I had that problem with my DM, no matter who I had playing in that position. He usually just stood spinning the ball around even if two other players closed down on him. Never tried to pass even though his teammates was positioning themselves to be open for pass. It seems it has been sorting itself lately though. They are much more prone to pass the ball now, maybe the patch fixed it.

Well for me this never happened pre-patch, and its a new game patched. I still won the game 2-1, but as I said, its very annoying.
