Getting increasingly frustrated with terrible defending.
I am not currently playing a game as i am taking a short break but while i was playing i noticed a very annouying pattern with my defence, no matter what team i was.
The patteren is TERRIBLE MARKING. Now i dont know if this is a known bug or just very very very bad luck on my part. far to often i see the opposition attack and i have a flat back 4 all holding position which is fine, then all of a sudden my defender will all either decide to runn to the ball or mark someone who is not even invloved in the attack.
My winbacks who should be marking the wingers often go straight for the opposing wingback leaving the winger free. But i stupidly say to my self "thats ok, a DC will close down the winger and my DMC will slot into the back 4" but i think that is just a wonderfull dream i had as 9 out of 10 time either both my DCs will close down the winger leaving a MASSIVE gap in the middle or no one will close him leaving him to run into the box freely.
Now i can accpet that people will sometime make a mistake but when it happens 2 -3 times a game then i think this is unacceptable.
I have tried many different approaches to try a correct this but nothing seems to work. At 1 time i even tried to play 6 defenders which cut down the oppostions freedom a bit but then left me nothing it attack.
Sorry for the rant but i just though i would let my feelings be heard. This is not going to stop me from playing the game alltogether, but it will alow me to take time out and wait for some answers or even a new patch if the defending is bugged.
