I'm with Hull City, and my back four are awful. We can always gain the lead but we can never hold on to it. The defenders themselves are strong but are consistantly out of position and can't mark their man. Plus, out of the four draws from my first 7 matches, I have a late equilizing goal from my opponent in 3 of them.
Are these defensive errors fixed somewhat in the patch?
Have a wander over to the tactics forum, there's a lot of discussion there.
FWIW, keep your back 4 in position by making sure they only close down on own area, have the same defensive rating, forward runs set to rarely, that sort of thing.
I found that the team will maintain it's shape better with zonal marking, so you may look at your CB's to see if they're set to man mark and change that.
i set my CBs to "own area" closing down. this means that the midfielders close down and the CBs stay in position/man mark. it forces the opposition to take long shots, as they can't find space.
not necessarily...Anthony Gardner is fast in the game, but i find him error-prone. Gianni Zuiverloon is another fast defender, but he's strangely inconsistent(not to mention young, but Melchiot AND Taylor are both injured, so i have to play him)
