I think FIFA needs to scrap the whole thing and rely on the user properly executing a standing tackle.

Now the apply pressure/2nd defender command I can see a better argument for, but I have my previously stated concerns about that as well -- the AI won't do anything unless you tell them to -- but it's a good concept.
I agree... Yeah its really fun to hold down one button the whole game to play defense.
