Re: Advice Needed: Learning Curve
This game is about timing. It's different than FIFA in that, if you make a mistake around the goal, you will be punished 100%. I like the system, but it does get frustrating. Let it be known, I can stop a lot of attacks, but I have problems scoring(I play everything on manual, so that's definitely my issue.)
As you said, pressing square calls for pressure from a teammate. Holding the cross button while chasing a player(within reach) will apply pressure on them, and aren't able to be as mobile as normal, and you will even overtake them.
Positioning and tracking the attacker with the ball,and getting in front of the open attacker in front of goal is also key. These are all obvious things that I know you already know, but it's your exact positioning that is probably the issue.
By exact positioning I mean, if a ball can get across the box to a teammate, on Professinoal or higher, the cpu will often score. Yes, they make mistakes but I find it much more realistic than FIFA in that, it really is up to the player guarding the attacker with the ball. It can be tough to block those passes/crosses, but you need to. You also need to absolutely top them from zig zagging in to the box, for they will score the majority of the time.
I suffered a lot, but knowing I absolutely need to stay on the attacker without breaking concentration was vital to me having fun. I know believe this is an amazing game, that produces great stats and highly exciting and realistic at times football.
