EA FC 24 player reveals “secret” tactic to improve defending quickly
EA SportsEA FC 24 Title Update #3 brings tweaks to the gameplay.
Defending in EA FC 24 has been reworked quite a bit which has made keeping clean sheets much more difficult than previous years. However, a fellow player has shared a “secret” method to boost your defense during matches.
EA FC 24 is finally here with several new features such as Hypermotion V, women players in Ultimate Team, and more. With the new visuals and AI, the in-game mechanics have also been reworked massively.
Defending is one area that has caused problems for players, both online and offline. Due to the latest improvements in the player AI, fans feel that defending is much more difficult than in previous years.
Unless you master the art of defending in the game, it can be very difficult to win online competitive matches in Champions and Division Rivals. But a player on Reddit has apparently found a secret tactic that will boost your defense immediately in EA FC 24.
According to ‘kuromahou,’ setting your defensive depth to 71 “is the secret to an active defense.” Apparently, with this setting, your players will save a ton of stamina and will constantly keep pressure on the opponent by maintaining a high line and falling back whenever necessary.
The OP also claims that your defenders will start to “press and track runs on defense” whenever you lose the ball. This should make it much more difficult for your opponents to break through the unusually high backline in EA FC 24.
Although the game will warn you that over 71 is the point where you leave yourself exposed to long balls, several other players seem to have agreed with the post in the comments. A player named ‘jzanville’ agreed with this post and mentioned: ” Slow build up/possession have felt like a breath of fresh air with the 71 depth.”
According to them, the ideal attacking tactic for this defense is a slow build-up possession style of play in EA FC 24. This should make the players retain the ball much longer than usual and conserve enough stamina to pass around the ball to create a goalscoring opportunity.
