    Legacy vs Tactical Defending

    I do not play online and am not very good at defense. Ive seen people say they use legacy defending, but I searched settings yesterday forever and couldnt find that option. How to i switch between the two?

    It's in the controller settings.

        I've tried Legacy but I can't use it since I'm so use to Tactical. Legacy pretty much gives you a "contain" and a "teammate contain" button and that's it. You don't get the tackle button so you lose the ability to push and pull which for me is a huge. It's a big part of playing defense and I don't see how people use legacy defending without it. On Legacy your tackles are automatic since you can't trigger them which is easy but that only works from the front. If you let someone get past you are you trying to battle physically you can't. The B button is the "defense" button and that's what a lot of the tactical defending is built around.

          Tackles can be automatic, but you are presented with the option to manually tackle. Just double tap the "short pass" button (for me, on a ps3 controller for PC, it's "X"). This creates a standing tackle and on occasion a push/pull.

          Is this the big hold up for why guys don't use Legacy defending? Just wondering, as I hope I helped shed some light...lol.
