  • Defenders fail to react to long passes over the top

    I've noticed this throughout the beta but a couple of really glaring examples have happened in my last two games. pkms attached.

    ----

    1. Southampton v Newcastle

    Check out the Che Adams goal on 85 minutes. Edouard plays a very simply and easy to defend ball over the top. Both Lacroix and Botman's responses are weird, but especially Botman who stops running and only starts again once Adams has shot past the keeper.

    Personally I also think my keeper, set to a sweeper keeper (s) should be coming out for that pass as well. Lacroix's ridiculous pass the gives Southampton the ball in the first place is also another issue I've seen plenty of in the beta. 

    ----

    2. Lazio v Newcastle

    See the Lazio goal on 74 minutes here. Long clearance from the goalkeeper inside his own 6 yard box. Very odd behaviour from both centre backs who only start to react after Immobile has ran 10 yards past them. 

    ----

    I will try and upload more issues as and when I see them. The ME is so close to being amazingly good but this and exaggerated cases of defenders dawdling and doing pirouettes on the ball on the edge of the 18 yard box is holding it back massively at the moment.

    Can confirm, the opponents striker comes almost 20m from behind and the defenders are realizing it when he is 5m ahead. Costed me already 6 points in the relegation fight.

    A slightly different example attached here. 

    Sinisterra goal on 57 minutes - firstly an unrealistic pass animation where the ball loops up incredibly high, followed by an absurd reaction by Lamptey my LB(d), who jumps to head the ball long after it's past him. 

    Yes, it's just a coincidence all the examples are against me ;)

    Next game and another slightly different but equally bizarre example attached. 

    Daka goal on 48 minutes.

    Ok, ball over the top is a good one, but both Botman (LCB) and Lamptey (LB) don't have anyone to mark and - instead of trying to cover or challenge Daka - just continue to run straight back towards the goal as though they are not aware he has the ball.

    This makes Long Ball and over the top Through Pass very OP this year. Positioning and Anticipation needs to have more impact when it comes to stopping these passes.
