It sucks. I think most agree, including even online players. Yet, it's not as if this change has ruined the game or resulted in super high score lines. My current CM is actually pretty low scoring.

The main thing to learn and get used to is that wingers and midfielders WILL track back... just only so far and it's often delayed. There are certain formations that are better for getting your teammates to get back and defend deep, and certain tactics and instructions that work better. Use teammate press to close down winger and manually bring back your own winger/midfielder, and usually you're fine.

My #1 tip is to use 3atb formations this year. Wingers/wingbacks on come back instructions will play as fullbacks in defense, so you can be quite solid as long as you learn to deal with counter attacks. Plus they're some of the most fun formations to use. Aaaand you'll stop yelling at your wingers to get back lol.
