To make controlling your defenders a more rewarding and effective method of defending, we have made a couple of changes to the way that an AI Teammate will defend during the match.īefore we dive into the specific changes that were made to the defending that is done by an AI Teammate, we first need to define what an AI Teammate is.Īn AI Teammate is any player on the pitch that is not being controlled by either a human, or who is not a CPU AI Controlled Player, a term we have covered in previous Pitch Notes articles, that you can find a refresher on at the bottom of this article*.

We have heard the feedback from the community that it, at times, didn't feel like manually controlling your defending players was rewarding enough, and that letting the AI defend was effective enough that the reward of controlling your defending players wasn't always worth the risk.

In this title update, we have focused on changes to AI Teammate defending, the effectiveness of a well timed tackle in separating the dribbling player from the ball and the effect that defensive pressure has on a player's fatigue.
