Please smash that LIKE button, it took me over 16 hours to produce it!! :D I would really appreciate it! :) PS: Leave some feedback please & tell me what you want next! :P
Patrick great tutorial once again :) I will love to thank you for your tutorials , before I get to know your channel I was struggling in div.5-4 ( FIFA 13 ) after I watched your tutorials I won div . 1 :) In FIFA 14 I reached div. 1 where I got 21 points out of 23 to win the championship :) Thanks Patrick :) Love from Romania ( sorry for my english. :)
Very good video, simple and effective. Patience really is the key. Keeping the defence structure intact by bringing attention to your squad as a whole formation, not just one player against one attacker. Also it's very important to keep an eye to the opponets squad as a whole and cover in time open players when you expect a pass, especially if you see a player starting a run through. One thing I didn't know - hitting X (contain) multiple times in front of the attacker. I usually just put my defender on his way and he just takes the ball automatically upon contact. I use contain just to move a marked player closer to the opponent and then release it to cover him manually. Will try your method though. Thanks a lot for the video.
I just want to thank you man, I am new to FIFA and my biggest struggle was defense and you just made this game so much more enjoyable for me. Thank you for being awesome!
Hey this video especially; as well as your others are fantastic fella. This is the content the fifa community needs. Not the childish (how to exploit flawed mechanics and scream and yell when it doesnt work right) Subscribed!!! Keep up the good work!!!
I'm glad you've gone back to the tutorials. They were the reason I subscribed in the first place, and you make them to a very professional standard, I just miss the playstation controller animations ;)
I've been struggling very much with defending, when u said " try to get many players as possible behind the ball" i think that gave me a clean thought.. Finally back on form i think :)
thanks for the tutorial. being patient and compact is one thing, however the defense experience in f15 has dramatically changed from f14. if you're playing against an experienced player, or 5 star team in the legendary mode, waiting for a mistake from the opponent only guarantees receiving at least a shot towards your goal. you will have an extremely tough time against both players who are good at dribbling (i don't mean holding down the LT/R2 button, but just shifting position and direction all the time) and fast short-passing tiki-taka style. another thing that i have found to gone backwards in f15 is the auto-switching. while i normally set the auto-switching on airballs, when manually changing players, in fifa 14 the system would get the switch right about 90% of the time, while in fifa 15 it has gone down to 60% -- you most of the time get the player next to the opponent or at times behind the player! and quite often not the one in front of. i also have experienced calling for the second teammate is not as effective as it was in f14. so yes, setting up a compact defense line is key, and your timing of tackle has to be impeccable, and even then you find yourself most of the time defending and gaining control of the ball dangerously close to your box. i may be doing something wrong, but note again that i am playing on the legendary level, as perhaps are some of you.
Even though I don't like turtorials much.. This one was awesome :-) i think it will really help me because i cant seem to defend well in fifa 15 :-/ thanks for the huge effort bro :-)
what am I doing wrong?? when the other team have the ball all the need to do is run at my defence and there all over the place, but when i have the ball, its like there defenders are magnets to the ball??
Thanks mate, been playing striker and cam for 2 years and finally decided to get into cdm role, loving it but your video just gave me so much more help, thanks heaps will try it now
fifa 15 is just shite lets be honest... defending is way too hard because all you need is a pacey player to run right past you and thats it, through on goal. every time you tap 'o' or 'b' it is a foul, shooting is dreadful and longshots are impossible. only things thats better than fifa 14 is passing imo, disappointing game.
Its not the game,its you,you are bad at defending,i have mertesacker and howedes as cb in my german team,i have never concede a speed dribbling goals,the thing is when you saw an opponent that always chip through ball or speed dribble,set your tactics to park the bus,so when your opponent tries to chip or speed dribble,you habe defenders on your goal line which is hard to break through
ExpertKillerzz if that did work, it would be so stupid to press the arrows a few times every time the player attacks... its just stupid and parking the bus all the time is boring and takes the fun out of the game. + its kinda hard to know when they are going to speed dribble or chip through ball...
I wholeheartedly agree! I would contain a striker while he dribbles between another defenders and the other AI defends would just mark space rather than attack the incoming ball; The AI defenders on my team would just stand there while an incoming striker shoots in. It pisses me off. PLUS, My SILVER team is better than my gold team! I lose games with my gold, but would win/tie with silver. WHat the fuck?
J Daly i agree but its a tactic,it either you want to win the game or lose a game because you think park the bus is boring,you got to patience my man,btw try build seria a squad with 4-1-2-1-2(2),its a good formation
ExpertKillerzz thats the thing, winning a game requires just playing boringly, its just not that enjoyable. and coincidence, i have already made that exact type of team
great vid dude! this really is helpful i am going to get started practicing right away. Only one thing tho, next time if you could put the buttons on the screen while you are showing the game play that would be more helpful. Please keep making tutorials man!
Ich finde, daß das Tutorial sehr nützlich war und daß ich versuchen werde, diese Tipps auch weiter umzusetzten. Dankesehr. I think that this tutorial is really helpful and I'll try to use as many things as I can. Thank you.
Can you explain specifically how to contain? everytime i press x they just stand there/run towards them but my players get outplayed so easy, they don't even get close to the defender so i can press it multiple times, what other buttons do you use because the contain button doesnt even work
My record was 1-0-4 before watching this, now it's 7-1-4, can I just say, this is an incredible tutorial and thank you so much, you've fixed fifa 15 for me.
Nice work! Good tutorials. Just an important thing about this one is when to press the sprint button while defending. On this control setting it should be R2 or RT and you have no mention to it. I'm a newbie at FIFA coming from Pes and the controls still make me some confusion. Like the triple use for Circle or B. Your videos are great to help one like me. Thanks!
Fantastic video Patrick! Im beginner player and would love to visualize in video screen the buttoms your are pressing while playing - as a reminder of first part of video
My opponent's players tackle me every chance they get. Their defense is so much better than mine. How do they let the computer play defense for them? Because their defense is always perfect. Their players are literally glued to me. I turn one way, they turn quicker than I do. Me on the other hand, I hold X, I hold R1 but my players never tackle or pressure like my opponents'. It's ridiculous how many times they just run right by my players. My players never tackle
When you press X and R1, you must be sure you don't fuck up their positions (like pressing it with a middle defender when the dude is in the right corner or midfield area). Secoundly important thing is that the player you ARE are not the tackler, it's the other guy who running with you, so be sure not to be the guy who is closest for the tackle.
Right? But for our opponents the computer makes some crazy tackles that I know for a fact my opponent didn't do. The reaction time on these tackles are instant
***** Yea. You don' know about letting the computer play defense for you? It's a bitch way to play. I figured out how to beat it in 15 now, for the most part. But it's annoying when they follow my every move and my defenders let Ibarbo just run right past them. They need to bring back legacy defending because it feels like my opponents' have it on the way they defend while I'm just being handicapped by not having it/playing like they do. Either way, facing those kinds of players is just annoying. If I wanted to face the computer, I'd play offline
There's an option that allows the game to change players for you. They set that to manual, and control a player far away from the ball and hold RB/R1. Or they hold A/X and still hold RB/R1. You can tell because everywhere you go, the defender goes. And their players are always in position to intercept a pass, because the computer controls them. I can also tell when I have 60/40 possession and their only attacks are on the counter
Really appreciate your effort on this, this game is so deep that desperately need something like this. Maybe a vid on how to defend against especially fast teams, or team that drop the middle to an advancing player in the center of the box constantly?
hi patrick nice vid, i watched your video last yr for Fifa 14 and noticed back then it was all about changing players and using the jockey button but on FIFA 15 its a lot more about the containing and tapping it repeatedly when close to opposing players. Which method do you find more effective on FIFA 15? a) constant jockeying with LB or b) the contain method which you show on this video
Hey man nice video! I used to defend ALWAYS with the x contain button(PS) without using any other buttons... A couple of days ago I heard that the jockey movement is more effective and that the contain button is not. What you suggest me?
I do everything in your video as best as I can and I just cannot defend. I think my worst problem is knowing when to tackle. I can't make a tackle without it either being a free kick or the ball just bouncing away and going straight back to the opponent. And I especially find it difficult to defend when players are running at me and when in or near my box. I thought maybe if you could make a video of you playing a match against someone online on UT I might pick up some tips
What are your thoughts on going attacking or ultra attacking at the start of the game? Also do u ever use defending or ultra defending? Or do u leave it on balanced? Thanks man...
I play all of my games on "counter attack" tactic and on "attacking" gets me in trouble at times but i'm currently in Division 1 so i guess it's been working for me
Question, he didn't mention it. When you guys are clearing/defending against crosses, what header button your press (ps3). I normally find square to be useful, or do you same as clearance used circle?
Thanks very much for the video. I'll give your techniques a go as it seems the best way of tackling and defending has changed from fifa14. I was pretty good at it before but I've been having trouble in fifa15.
Patrick, when you contain, is it more effective to hold X or press X repeatedly? (In my game, I find that holding X is weak - my opponent always run pass me when I do this. I haven't tried pressing X repeatedly yet)
patrick nice tutorial it really helped me a lot, i have a question regarding assisted settings do you use assisted, semi or manual. keep up the awesome work
I always clear to the middle when defending crosses, and i concede a lot of goals..now I know what i should do when clearing.. Btw, how do you make the slide tackle clearance?
Hi Patrick, Thanks again for the great video and hard effort been made. I have a problem while shifting players (R1) where I end up giving many gaps which makes opponents score very easy... I usually keep on holding X button while the opponent is attacking thus I dont see as a good defending option :( Is there a way to help how to control the defense more effective ?
What are buttons i shouldnt press while defending like, whats the last button i should stay away from? I seem to hold L2 alot and i get over taken as well as R2 can u explain to me in more details
Patrick what camera angles do you use? You can always see a great deal of the pitch in your videos. Default camera angles are too low and zoomed in on the action! You can't get a good view of what's going on on the pitch.
Well what works form me an my friends just go to kick off pick like a 2-3 star team vs a 5 star in world class or legendary(so most of the time you will be defending) put it on 10 min or just keep practicing like that and trust me youll get better asap ...
I don't know if it's just my game, but, whenever I am defending the game randomly switches me to different players which can't make a difference in breaking up the attack. My defenders also keep a very bad line and let runners go through the middle.
Really appreciate that Patrick!!!Could you make a video about how to defend some of skill moves? right now im stucking at Division 2 and dont know how to defend those players can do fantastic skill moves:( plz...
Does anybody else have the bullshit problem when an opponent plays an over the top through ball all of a sudden, and then your fcking defender just stands there or runs 10 feet forward instead of reacting to the play? It's absolute shit! FIFA 15 defenders have the reaction time of a 90 year old grandma, your opponent will play a through ball and then your defender will be like "Awe shit maybe I should get the ball" 5 seconds after the pass has been made. Or when your opponent cuts inside and starts sprinting it's literally impossible to stop them unless you push and pull which risks a penalty. I'm in Div 1, so I'm no noob to the game. But for fuck sakes, there has to be an easier way to defend.
I face that all the tym bro .. Am gud at fifa bt it piss me off .. I face opponents who plays total defence and leave cr9 and bale on the front or messi and neymar and jst use high thru balls straight frm defender and score .. Recently am the only solution i came up with is play defensive and sme tyms ultra defensive and it works .. I chnge to balanced or attacking only for 10 mins per half. Its boring but stops the high ball spaming
Adam Zacaruk i fucking hate it when my non controlled player gets a pass towards him form my opponent at the ball literally passes within 1 feet and it doesn't do shit, fucking annoying
Nice video! I use similar tactics as my friends and opponents tend to use the fastest players. Learning how to defend is key especially since pace abusers can't defend for shit lol they just know how to stay on the wings and tap the right analog
PatrickHDxGaming i am new to the fifa games and am having trouble dribbling as a midfielder against users in drop in matches. Its like i turn the ball over every time….any advice or possible tutorials??
Hey Patrick my question would be is, when I do play defense I always have 4 defenders in the back so as I try to take the ball away I'm always unsuccessful. I press the hold button but my player either stand still or try to trip the opposing player. I notic e if I rapidly press X, and or O I can take the ball away but it's not very efficient and worse he grabs the player to long. I also notice that the opposing player defense put very little to defend having a player in front and one in the back and leaves me no room to chip or long pass the ball, I m curious to know thanks big fan of your work hope you reply back.
Sehr gutes Tutorial !! Genau so muss man verteidigen. Was mich nur bei Fifa 15 stört ist die stärke eines einzelnen Spielers gegen 3 Gegner. Wie siehst du das ?

Aaah I always thought you were ment to hold down contain button. That figures why I never retrieves the ball......
Skedaren yeah same

I'm glad you've gone back to the tutorials.
They were the reason I subscribed in the first place, and you make them to a very professional standard, I just miss the playstation controller animations ;)
Thanks mate! They will follow regulary now! Last year I had my exams and no real time, but now I will cover everything!

Just practice man. You'll get better.

MetalNinjaHD Well, I'm sorry to hear that. lol
Thanks dear we appreciate your help and wonderful explain.
I really appreciate the work that went into this video Patrick. I'm gonna take this information on board and see how well I do. Liked and subscribed!

Greetings from Orlando, Florida!! THank you for these videos! :-D
Great video Pat. Nice work.
Bro, I have a major problem with defending corners. My guys seem to jump and miss or jump later, but I will try your tact. Thanks. Always helpful.

hey patrik i Loved the video !!!! very clean and simply taught!!! keep up the good work man! nice job!!
good video patrick love it bro keep up the good work
Thanks Patrick this video has vastly improved my defending
absolutely amazing video!!! so helpful!
Can u continue to hold sprint (r2) while mashing L2? Also, what works best? Holding L2 or tapping it?
Nice work! Good tutorials. Just an important thing about this one is when to press the sprint button while defending. On this control setting it should be R2 or RT and you have no mention to it. I'm a newbie at FIFA coming from Pes and the controls still make me some confusion. Like the triple use for Circle or B. Your videos are great to help one like me. Thanks!
After watching this, I won 4-0 and kept a clean sheet, awesome!
iMags7 yey! :)
Another great video Patrick!!! Very helpful and by the way r u gonna start another road to division one? I loved that series.
Yeaaah! Finally! :D Thanks Patrick. :)
Fantastic! I only had kept 2 clean sheets all weekend, feel as though defending is impossible, this helps a lot, cheers Patrick
Hey dude, Im brazilian and I loved this video, you got a fan! Congrats!
Fantastic video Patrick!
Im beginner player and would love to visualize in video screen the buttoms your are pressing while playing - as a reminder of first part of video

Great video Patrick. I think maybe you just need to explain why it's good to clear the ball (header) in the same direction it came from
Great tutorial man !!
Your tutorials are always the best :D
Massive help thank you! I'm even getting my opponents red cards now thanks to this
very well explained video. I actually watched this before starting my online seasons.
Well done mate, and thank you (Y)
Great stuff dude thanks for all your hard work with the tutorials - really useful

What are your thoughts on going attacking or ultra attacking at the start of the game? Also do u ever use defending or ultra defending? Or do u leave it on balanced? Thanks man...
I play all of my games on "counter attack" tactic and on "attacking" gets me in trouble at times but i'm currently in Division 1 so i guess it's been working for me
Question, he didn't mention it. When you guys are clearing/defending against crosses, what header button your press (ps3). I normally find square to be useful, or do you same as clearance used circle?
Hi patrick, does this work for both tactical and legacy defending?
Thanks very much for the video. I'll give your techniques a go as it seems the best way of tackling and defending has changed from fifa14. I was pretty good at it before but I've been having trouble in fifa15.
Still VERY nice tutorials you're making keep up the good work Patrick! (:
OMG! Thank you so much! Please do post another video if there are any other ways of stopping through balls! Have a nice day :)
Thank you bruh, favorite tutorials always :)
Patrick, when you contain, is it more effective to hold X or press X repeatedly?
(In my game, I find that holding X is weak - my opponent always run pass me when I do this. I haven't tried pressing X repeatedly yet)
patrick nice tutorial it really helped me a lot, i have a question regarding assisted settings do you use assisted, semi or manual. keep up the awesome work
awesome man, thanks a bunch!
thanks for the tutorials man thats awesome can you do a how to score corners and how to defend them since this game its hard to do it now
Thanks that was helpful. My defending is shocking though I'm good going forward so that bales me out. We'll see how this works in practice.
Patrick, can you do a tutorial for a generalised attacking build up play for world class difficulty and Legendary? Thanks!
I always clear to the middle when defending crosses, and i concede a lot of goals..now I know what i should do when clearing..
Btw, how do you make the slide tackle clearance?
WOW this helped me a lot :) thanks Patrick
GREAT WORK AS ALWAYS PATRICK...THANK YOU :)
Hi Patrick, Thanks again for the great video and hard effort been made. I have a problem while shifting players (R1) where I end up giving many gaps which makes opponents score very easy... I usually keep on holding X button while the opponent is attacking thus I dont see as a good defending option :(
Is there a way to help how to control the defense more effective ?
What are buttons i shouldnt press while defending like, whats the last button i should stay away from? I seem to hold L2 alot and i get over taken as well as R2 can u explain to me in more details
Nice video, i've had some problems with defending, thank you so much :)
Really helpful!! Thank you for this video! :)
Die DEUTSCHE Version kommt morgen! :)
Patrick what camera angles do you use? You can always see a great deal of the pitch in your videos. Default camera angles are too low and zoomed in on the action! You can't get a good view of what's going on on the pitch.
Man thanks a lot u just made my day I just randomly look at a video of ures and I sub I :D
That was a great tutorial thanks Patrick!
Thanks for this video
Liked for the awesome accent
And also I suck at fifa and now I'm just that little bit better, cheers!
Good job bro! Keep going.
Thx so much!! I only thing i could do before to get the ball was to use a sliding, so thx for this tip.
Sehr hilfreiches Video
Frage ,welche einstellung hastdu bei Spielerwechsel ?
Great work mate, helped me alot have only just started playing fifa, but need help with free kicks
You the man as always
Well what works form me an my friends just go to kick off pick like a 2-3 star team vs a 5 star in world class or legendary(so most of the time you will be defending) put it on 10 min or just keep practicing like that and trust me youll get better asap ...
Hi, do you use legacy or tactical defeding ?
It frustrates me when players with fast ST's just sprint straight from kick off. it's IMPOSSIBLE to defend.
Just do it straight back to them
try to.injure them by slide tackling
Last tip is great. Thanks
I don't know if it's just my game, but, whenever I am defending the game randomly switches me to different players which can't make a difference in breaking up the attack. My defenders also keep a very bad line and let runners go through the middle.
Cheers man!, defending much different in this game!
great video mate, very well described. time to get on fifa and try it out!
Really appreciate that Patrick!!!Could you make a video about how to defend some of skill moves? right now im stucking at Division 2 and dont know how to defend those players can do fantastic skill moves:( plz...
Great tutorial, it helped me alot!! :)
What camera do you use? Thanks !!
awesome man huge fan
Does anybody else have the bullshit problem when an opponent plays an over the top through ball all of a sudden, and then your fcking defender just stands there or runs 10 feet forward instead of reacting to the play? It's absolute shit! FIFA 15 defenders have the reaction time of a 90 year old grandma, your opponent will play a through ball and then your defender will be like "Awe shit maybe I should get the ball" 5 seconds after the pass has been made. Or when your opponent cuts inside and starts sprinting it's literally impossible to stop them unless you push and pull which risks a penalty. I'm in Div 1, so I'm no noob to the game. But for fuck sakes, there has to be an easier way to defend.
I face that all the tym bro .. Am gud at fifa bt it piss me off .. I face opponents who plays total defence and leave cr9 and bale on the front or messi and neymar and jst use high thru balls straight frm defender and score ..
Recently am the only solution i came up with is play defensive and sme tyms ultra defensive and it works .. I chnge to balanced or attacking only for 10 mins per half.
Its boring but stops the high ball spaming
Adam Zacaruk i fucking hate it when my non controlled player gets a pass towards him form my opponent at the ball literally passes within 1 feet and it doesn't do shit, fucking annoying
I'd love to see some tutorial of yours about tactics, pressing, formations. :)
Nice video! I use similar tactics as my friends and opponents tend to use the fastest players. Learning how to defend is key especially since pace abusers can't defend for shit lol they just know how to stay on the wings and tap the right analog
PatrickHDxGaming i am new to the fifa games and am having trouble dribbling as a midfielder against users in drop in matches. Its like i turn the ball over every time….any advice or possible tutorials??
Awesome, thanks a lot for this tutorial!
Hey Patrick my question would be is, when I do play defense I always have 4 defenders in the back so as I try to take the ball away I'm always unsuccessful. I press the hold button but my player either stand still or try to trip the opposing player. I notic e if I rapidly press X, and or O I can take the ball away but it's not very efficient and worse he grabs the player to long. I also notice that the opposing player defense put very little to defend having a player in front and one in the back and leaves me no room to chip or long pass the ball, I m curious to know thanks big fan of your work hope you reply back.
thanks man! i won my following 3 games and got promoted to division 8
in those 3 games i scored 11.. and allowed just 2 (both in the last game)
That's awesome!! Glad to see my effort turns into something good (making you better) :)
PatrickHDxGaming yeah it did! one question, when you clear the ball on crosses, do you use square? x? or circle?
B button on xbox, circle on playstation
cool thanks!
Why do you say to press the contain button repeatedly?? Holding down A or X contains. Does mashing it make it more effective or something?
when you defend headers for Ps4, do you want to use X to clear the ball out? or square?
Sehr gutes Tutorial !! Genau so muss man verteidigen. Was mich nur bei Fifa 15 stört ist die stärke eines einzelnen Spielers gegen 3 Gegner. Wie siehst du das ?
