Defending in FIFA has always been about timing, patience and positioning.

Move your players sensibly, clog the spaces and be patient enough to force your opponent into a wrong pass or a wrong move.

Most of you never learned the basics of FIFA defending, that’s why you hate 20.
The game has its flaws:

The major one being the probability that you lose the ball to an opponent after a successful tackle but that’s about that, really.

The game rewards patience and sensible defending but people are salty because attacking isn’t overpowered.
The single most important thing about this is Legacy defending doesn’t give you enough control to decide these things for yourself.
Switch to tactical... it’ll be difficult at first but once you get a hang of it, it’s so satisfying.
