ST's are able to control, turn, and put pressure on my backline

Maybe it's just the poor positioning of CB's in general as I've seen them make braindead decisions. They still play way too far off ST's allowing them to control and turn. Contain doesn't mean you allow the attacker to turn and dribble forward, it means you force them into a sideways or backwards pass. You most certainly do not contain in and around your own box. You play on the attackers shoulder, preferably their stronger or inside foot. I'll do everything I can to keep my attacker from getting off a shot but they will pass to another attacker and my CPU controlled defender will be playing a few yards behind him.

Tactical Defending is Tactically Deficient
The game is completely broken. I get frustrated with some games like madden or ncaa cause of stupid stuff that happens but no where even remotely close to how insanely pissed I get at this game. It is sooo screwed up on so many levels. Worst fifa by far and a joke of a online experience. I bought the game entirely for ultimate team and all I want to do now is smash the game into a million pieces after every match. Every match is litter wonky physics, brain dead AI, GK abusers, or constant pressure run you over to the ground users. ZERO fun trying to play the game online.

I will continue to take a loss after loss after loss after loss but if I can't figure the game out I will sell it for sure.
