Fifa is a great game, you have to concentrate, i promise, if you move you're current player(the one highlited at soon as u lose the ball)into correct position, you will "block" the channel and the cpu will be forced to pass out wide. the less alternatives u give them to pass through the middle and the wider u force them the better. most time when they shot from the wide position the will miss or the keeper will take it comfortably(just like real football). this fifa game is programed so that the game plays how you make it play. if u allow a ball to easily pierce through you're back line u deserve to lost a goal. watch the game, read the game correctly.
move a midfielder back if you lose it in midfield(try to get in front of the attacker blocking possible routes for a pass)Heck i sometimes tack all the way back with Van Nistlerooy.
Packing the defence is sometimes whats required. hope this helps you.
Where are you from? I am guessing a country which doesn't have any Football teams right?
Sorry but your understanding of the game doesn't exists and I am flattering you with that statement!!
FIFAs defence is NOTHING like real football. Your defensive back line doesnt charge up the pitch leaving two strikers in behind them in real football, and one useless guy sitting down in the corner on the wing to keep them onside. I feel sorry for you if you think THAT is realistic..your team must REALLY suck.
When a man comes in from midfield you defenders DONT just stand watching while he walks through and scores....
When theres 3 strikers in the middle and three defenders. Your two wide defender do NOT stand out on the wings doing NOTHING, and leave a single defender 1 on 3 in the middle.... again where you get these weird ideas from is beyond me...
I get tired of all you people talking as if anyone who sees FIFA 2003 for the trash it is is some kind of newcomer. I have forgotton more about football than you will ever know, and I have played FIFA since the very first ever Fifa game came out.....
This Fifga "soccer" 2003, is by far the most rediculously inept piece of software I have ever seen.
EA seem to have invented a whole new game of football for themselves, because its NOTHING like realistic......
