FIFA 16 gives you the tools to stop your opponent with confidence. Move with greater freedom as a defender - rely on your team to defend as a unit and your back line to track menacing runs to create balance between attacking & defending. Pressing the slide tackle button immediately after performing one lets them gain their feet and preserve momentum. You can also bait dribblers during one-on-ones by fake tackling and if you realise your slide tackle isn't going to work then youre able to press the button again and the player will respond by putting a foot on the pitch and then cancelling the slide. Finally, using the Circle/B button you can now apply pressure to your opponents players constantly and if you use it intelligently (by not over-pressing) you can win a gain an advantage during any physical battle you come up against.
