10 Ways FIFA Has Gotten WORSE With Every Year

10. Defending

One of the biggest problems sports games have converting from real life to the virtual pitch is the defending side of play.

People want to score goals, be able to do different tricks with the ball and have different ways to beat a man. However, defending is just as important as attacking and EA Sports have never quite been able to get it right.

FIFA is known for its high scoring matches, but this year goals have been hard to come by. Before the latest game was released, defending had stayed the same from version to version for a number of years. FIFA 20 saw the removal of a second man press which previously had been overpowered. However, the option for players to drop back their entire team was introduced. As soon as it was found to be super effective, everyone was using it, making for dull and boring matches.

Out of the areas of gameplay defending was probably already the weakest in FIFA and somehow it continues to get worse.
