Supposedly they are working on it. Some issue with the "green zone".

yes they do....have no idea why this still plagues the fifa game...

play a game and have manual switching, control your forward and let the midfield and defense " do their job" and it's pretty shocking really....they will back up 95 percent of the time and let the cpu take a quality shot on goal. Doesn't matter if you're using manchester united versus blackpool, it will happen nearly every time. Unacceptable really.... THIS is where PES kills fifa.....

Doesn't kill FIFA.

It's a game design thing. NHL takes this stupid approach too where you must control the right player. I hate it but it doesn't kill the game. What EA wants you do to is either press (square-button) or mark the player yourself. It's been this way for a few years now and everyone should realize that that this is how EA wants you to play. Makes it harder to play off the ball but not impossible once you realize that if you want your defenders to mark a guy you need to press the 2nd defender help button while you mark the player making the run.

Do I like it? No, and I'm not defending FIFA. It's just one of those things where it's not a game killer because the user has a way to deal with it.

I didn't say it was a gamekiller...i said PES kills fifa in this regard as in much better than...

I do play fifa exactly how you describe, but then again it's not very efficient because many many instances you just don't have the time to react to switch players and it just affects the gameplay negatively.

For example, you're defending a cpu player with Nesta he makes a cross that you block and you're still controlling the defender .....the ball bounces towards Flamini, and if he picks it up he has a chance for a quick counter.....but since you're still controlling Nesta, Flamini lets the ball roll on by and let the cpu take posession again....

things like this happen time and time again and it just isn't realistic....
