Combat pressing with a few tactical tinkers in FIFA 17Combat pressing with a few tactical tinkers in FIFA 17
FIFA 17 has released now, landing platform for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC. Not a FIFA 17 demo, now you can access it completely. After exploring the most expect mode -- the new story mode “Journey”, you will find it’s still a football game and you should know the game strategy. In the situation of so many new features, the operation of FIFA 17 has some little changes. We know that some glitches we can hope EA give the patches to solve the problem and some are not so serious.
For example, the injuries in FIFA 17 is serious and we can hope EA give some solutions. Or the interesting glitches in FIFA 17 that there would be instances where the body parts are distorted as if they appear in Silent Hill. Although it would sound scary, it is actually the opposite. Other times, two players get tangled together, putting them in compromising positions. Although EA will fix it, it’s interesting and not serious.
But some problem we can not think it is a glitch. The act of pressing in FIFA has been overpowered for years – and is a particular problem online, where human players love to smother you with super aggressive pressing tactics. We should find some means to solve this. Reddit user propyl21 has found a smart way to combat that:
“For intense high pressure, you need to set the following custom tactics:
High press to 75+
Aggressiveness to 85+
Team width to 1
Set back line to: offside trap.
When the game starts, you need to set the right D-pad to ultra attack (one less than all out attack). Also set team pressing from the D-pad up menu. (Do not set high pressure from the d-pad down menu as it'll overwrite the custom tactic, and you'd have to pause the game to select it again). On top of this, you must have auto-player change enabled, where the CPU picks the nearest player to the ball for you.
This becomes unbearable when all they have to do is hold RB for team pressing. Using the right analogue to change player manually also further helps in high pressing the opponent. Analogue sprint must be turned off also. This allows the player to instantly hit top speed as soon as you press RT.”Then you can succeed.
