I think it´s not that bad though, but the best lightning I ever saw is in the day overcast matches. Simply beatifull.

Very true!
To look on the other side:
I was borrowing Luca Toni in my Ultimate Team and that guy is a beast when it comes to headers.
He nearly won every header duel in the box with his height of 193m and heading accuracy of 89.
So going by tall defenders with a good header accuracy is definitely not unimportant.

I used to have the same opinion the last few years.
But I´m glad that FIFA 15 proved me wrong on that one.
I definitely feel a difference in playing with for example Lennon (very agile, fast) and Lampard (slower, not that agile but strong shot) and yeah, Luca Toni.
Quite inertial movement, but a header beast.
Also Defoe and Diouf play different.
Using them as ST´s.
EDIT:
Also in the Center.
Bought Huddlestone but I don´t really like playing with him. He feels kinda clumsy.
But Delph for example plays way better and also Perkins plays a lot different.
Also had weak and cheap players on the wings as defenders and invested now into Gibbs and Jones and they feel a lor more ball-winning.
So, individuality is definitely there.

yes, overcast and day is beautiful but night lighting is very dull and boring.

Too old for this s***
so basicly its just about speed, heading and strength ...yay they added strength this year
rather talk about why my defending running player starts jogging after a few yards of sprint when it comes to track down the ball carrier...

This happens to me too, not sure if it happens less with analogue sprint turned off but its still there.
Super cancel helps when they do that. Just hold down both triggers to wake them up a bit as you move towards the ball carrier.

Ok thanks I'll try that.
Pressing super cancel became second nature in previous fifas because it allowed the striker to back off from a through ball that would put him offside. It seems that no longer works anymore though, you always run towards the ball even with super cancel pressed. It only seems to work for me when you don't want to chase a ball going out of play.

Are u using Legacy or Tatical defending? Personally im done with Tatical, it took me a long time to finally swicth from Legacy to tatical in FIFA14, but for me EA killed the tatical defending in 15, contain is shit + pulling players do nothing but easy penalties.
Defending really is a fucking joke on this game.
People fucking know it too as most of the time people just dribble at defence all the time. Defenders get confused and run round in circles like a fucking boat then they score. It's ridiculous.

So you bought the game twice? its ok, no need to make up a story, lol
What sliders are you guys using.
tactical defense and air balls switching.
for me defending is only a joke when you loose concentration and hold sprint down too much, thats when defenders run off. for me they are just doing what you say. if if you back off an attacker using contain and time your tackles then there are no issues

Yep. I also find that a reserved application of the teammate press button works a well as it really should in a lot of situations if you also move the joystick while pressing in the direction the ball is travelling at the opponents feet.
Still not having an issue. One on one its my guess where to move against what he's doing. I read what they are going to do and tackle them. I don't read them and I get skinned. Really not sure what the issue is. I'm not talking about any other players, just the one I'm controlling versus the one my opponent is controlling.
I jockey and time my tackles. I honestly can't see what the problem is with this.

I think the learning curve is taking a tad bit longer to defend. Some days I could suffocate a dribbler where he shoots 40 yrd out the whole game. Then, my defenders get clumsy and trips over. I think having a player w/ MED(attack) HIGH (defend) workrate is key

I think you're just about the only person on any forum discussing FIFA that I see who regularly defends the defending in this game.
If you've got it all figured out, you should probably be competing for cash money, or at least posting videos to help others out, 'cause I don't know a single longtime FIFA fan who isn't struggling with the balance issues in FIfA 15.
If I had a player run at me in real life, they should be able to take me on quite often. If I stand my ground, don't dive in and time my tackle then I will have my fair share of dispossessions. Just the same in this game. I honestly couldn't give a toss what other peoples experiences are. These are the experiences that I am having. It's nothing out of the ordinary IMO. I'm very sorry this upsets you, annoys you or whatever it is doing to you to make you constantly quote my opinion. Stupid comments about me playing for money still doesn't change my opinion of how I handle the defending. I was talking one on one on this occasion. Nothing else and I do ok at it. There will be times I'm run rings around. Other times I'll tackle the opposition every single time. Other times it's 50/50, 60/40 or whatever. Personally, I'm not having or seeing a massive issue. Is that so fucking hard to understand? Could that change in the future? Quite possibly but for now I don't have an issue. It's my experience. Nobody else's. I accept you and loads others have an issue but I don't and there others who have stated the same. Go off and quote them now as I'm bored of you constantly quoting me. Get over it. I'm happy with the game, you aren't. Leave it at that.
I have no interest in posting any videos either. It's common bloody sense to me.
This isn't an invitation for an essay from you or multiple video clips to be posted up as I don't care. I pick the game up, I have a few games, I enjoy them (I defend pretty well) and I've had a bit of fun. It's a game and I get out of it what I need. A release from the crap going on. Cheers.

Fixed for you.
I know you are joking but I don't think you know me or remember a lot of my posts if you actually believe that. I have slaughtered certain aspects of this series over the years and I think there's plenty of people on another site who would laugh at that comment. There's some things I don't have issues with though.
Ok, i really don't remember your old time posts criticizing the game, but reading only your recent posts i honestly have the impression that you works at EA since you defend them (and specially Fifa) with so much passion.
I defend them with a passion? Because my recent posts have said I don't have an issue with defending? Fuck me.
I think the game is an absolute farce on assisted settings. That's not defending them with a passion is it?
What else do I say to defend them with a passion? Enlighten me please.
All manual + tactical defending + legendary here and no issues with defending so far

Still loving fifa15 and also having no issues defending.fully manual-world class..
Takes me back to the old ISS 2000 days back on the n64..happy as a pig in shit!
Also love tearing assisted players a new one with my brand of manual football...assisted players don't know what there missing!
They can't score if I've got the ball and there chasing my shadows.

If your enjoying Fifa so much maybe you should stop drawing on walls.
Getting my popcorn and waiting for all the clique in here to have a dig at Placebo and Banksy because they've basically said the same as me. Or am I the only one to get quoted and told to give it a rest/shut up because I was the first (or one of) to say I don't have an issue with defending?!
Guess I'm not the only one on forums who doesn't have an issue with it afterall
