I play with Dortmund and both CBs are coming forward for corners. I'll have to check the team and player instructions, cant remember making any changes for that.

Thanks. I have also started playing as Dortmund in cm and left cb hummels goes forward and right cb sokratis stays behind at the centre of the field.
That is even if I select in instructions-attacking support-join the attack or play as striker

"THIS" to the bold parts. Totally agreeing here.
In Career Mode I play on professional.
Don´t know what kind of player I am, quite an okay one, not bad, but no pro, average I guess.
But professional is totally fine to me.
Started with a quite weak team from division 2 where every player had an average of 65 and it was really struggling.
Now that the team developed quite well (I´m playing the season of 2018) and have players with average of 75 in my team it´s still struggling.
Was on the first place in the Bundesliga for quite a while but in the end it got quite difficult and missed to maintain, so it´s been 2nd in the end.
I have winning streaks, but not all through the season, play draws, have wins, have losses, sometimes a bit higher scores, sometimes lower...can´t really complayin on that.
I accepted to be the national coach of Belgium and there you have Hazard, Benteke, De Bruyne, Mandala (R.I.P.) etc., well really good players and in the friendlys I first felt that maybe professional is getting a bit too easy, as the Belgium team is a lot stronger than my club team.
But now in the worldcup I lost my first game against Mexico 0:1 and the second game against South Africa was so tight that I narrowly won 1:0, so I don´t have the need to raise the difficulty yet.
I´m quite fine with the variations of the matches.
BTW, I´m playing with the Tele Broadcast cam and noticed that in some stadiums (Camp Nou for example) the height of the cam is different than in my home stadium Allianz Arena.
I thought they fixed that in the latest patch?

I also play on Tele Broadcast fully zoomed out and yes, heights are different at all stadiums which is annoying but realistic as watching on tv is the same I.e all teams have different camera angles.
I tried legacy defending for first time yesterday, I prefer it and wish EA would ditch the tactical defending and keep nice and simple. I really don't enjoy using tactical anymore, I never feel in control.
Game switched to Slow as well, it's a joy to play.

Legacy defending is a joke. It's not you defending at all so no way should they go back to that. You never feel in control with tactical? How can you not as its even more control?! Legacy is no control whatsoever. Hold a button down and let computer do it for you. This day and age, we should have more control so tactical is definitely the right way to go.
Above you said you are a good player. How can you be if you let the computer do things for you? It's not you playing (defending). Holding a button down and closing your eyes is a joke imo as that is all it would take to make a tackle.

Why are you always so dramatic about everything? I enjoy Legacy Defending, it suits me fine. I also hate Manual, is that ok with you?

I have plunged back in and enjoying it a lot. IT WILL feel super-fast at first though, so put the speed down to slow.
I have kept PES 2015 but really thinking of trading it towards GTA V. It's so bad online that I can't be bothered with it anymore.
I have both games and before PES I was playing Fifa all the time. Then I tried PES and bought it, Fifa was showing some annoying problems. But after a couple months playing PES I realized I never had the feeling that Fifa gave me. Scoring in PES is not so rewarding, its just not exciting. Shooting is lame and easy. Its hard to create the chances but then on the box there´s just no variation, no unexpected things, not like before. Fifa in the other hand, doesn´t play that realistic in the buildup, but the animations, the environment, the crowd sounds, the stadiums, and finally the things that can happen inside the box killed PES for me. Came back a couple days ago and I could play the game all night long.
Game is not perfect, there´s also strange things hapening sometimes, but overall, in my opinion, is so much complete, even on the pitch. Plus, my eyes don´t hurt while playing on sunny days, even in stadiums with shadows. And the best part of it, this game actually has FOULS!!!
Now who is starting with Fifa, prepare to learn to defend or the game will be frustrating.
About legacy/tactical defending, this year is very diferent and legacy is not even close to automatic. Who thinks that with legacy defending you just have to run and press X is sooo wrong. Fifa defense has to be patient and clever, period. Unless playing easy levels. I believe World Class is the way to go, but I´ve been trying Legendary. Sometimes it feels unfair though.

Well said, good post. Legacy is much different to what it used to be.
I play World Class difficulty, SLOW gameplay - it's a lovely game.
Legacy can be as different to how it used to be as it wants but I'll never go back to it. Rather have more input into the game. I don't even play the game often but still don't have any issue with tactical defending at all.
Is it ok to say this without somebody coming out with a boring comment saying I'm angry or dramatic because I have a different opinion?

Oh yes, I didn´t even wanted to say that Legacy is the way to go. Forgot to mention it.
I see it as two diferent options for defending, tactical being a little harder, and legacy a little simpler but unforgiven if we use it the wrong way. I like legacy, I feel I control certain aspects of defense with it.
Its good to have both options and choose the one it feels more confortable to each one of us.

Quite same here!
I bought FIFA first as I really enjoyed the demo.
I wanted a footy game where unpredictable stuff happens and when scoring a goal makes me lift my fist up and scream a loud "Yeah!".
PES used to do that to me, but this year it´s FIFA and after a couple of months I still see goals I haven´t seen before.
Another thing:
I never really cared about the stadium atmosphere that much.
But yesterday I played in the CL knockout stage against Real Madrid with my headphones on and I was the away team.
When I scored the first goal the crowd was cheering as usual.
But when RM equalized...DAMN!!!
That cheering was a lot more extreme and all those vuvuzelas and with the slight shaking camera...AWESOME!
My big mistake was to purchase PES 2015 (PC) even I was enjoying FIFA.
It´s been 25 € "only" but it never clicked and to be honest I feel a little mad about myself giving KONAMI my money for their game.
Of course I´m hoping PES 2016 to be better, but I don´t have high hopes anymore tbh.
But on the other hand I´m really curious about the next FIFA releases.
About defending:
I use the tactical one.
Couldn´t deal with it at first and tried legacy for a bit and I felt it being too easy and too automated for my taste.
Switched back to tactical and practiced my timing for the push and pull button and everything and I don´t wanna miss it no more.
Each to their own.
Each to their own fella. People can play however they want. I'm just saying I prefer more input into controlling what goes on on the pitch so I prefer tactical and manual. I get some plebs with their stupid comments saying is it ok with me if they don't like playing a certain way though. People can do what they want. I couldn't care less. I mentioned my preference. It's ok for others to state their preferences but if I do I get stupid comments like that. Hypocritical? I'd say so.

Alright PU6HY you don't need to go on about it, you've made your point, no?
But you must admit - your posts do come across as quite angry & confrontational a lot of the time? It isn't just a coincidence that quite a few people have picked up on it.
You seem like a nice person though so let's drop this and talk about the game

Well, while I don´t like to go into these discussions... I must admit by saying "legacy defence is a joke" some people might feel you´re saying "people using legacy are a joke". Its not my case, but I think some people understood it like that.
Anyway, I might try tactical again because I like a challenge and to be honest, tactical may be more rewarding once we learn to use it.

Yep, ambience in Fifa is miles better, no discussion. What about celebrations? In PES, sometimes I´m loosing 2-0 and if I score a goal, player go runing like crazy... almost as if they scored the winner goal at the 90´. Its those small details... They are just too many to make me enjoy the game.
About buying PES, sometimes I regret the money I´ve spent, but I also know, if I didn´t buy it, I would still be thinking that I should do it. At leasst now I know wich one is the best for me.
I said it was a joke but why take it so serious?
I think it is. It doesn't mean that it is for others. That's surely a given? People are a bit too precious over the term joke or whatever other ones are used at times.
I dunno it was just my thought about it. People are sensitive sometimes and the slightest missunderstanding leads to this kind of discussions. Anyway, its a good sign. It means whe are playing a good game ahah.

I never thought I would go back to FIFA, but I have to say that it's clearly the better game this year.
PES is a superior product in some ways. I think the passing game and the build-up resembles an actual football match far better than FIFA does, but that all counts for nothing when scoring goals isn't satisfying. I can't put my finger on it but it isn't satisfying to put the ball in the back of the net on PES, whereas FIFA feels almost perfect in that regard. There's an unpredictability factor about 15 that you used to be able to associate with past PES titles.
PES can be as beautiful as it likes in the build-up, but if it all culminates in an empty goal - an empty feeling - then it's wasted. FIFA is superior.

Seems like that is a lot of people's complaint with PES this year and why so many of us are going back to FIFA - it's such a shame, I loved PES at first but it gets stale quickly.
Im bought Fifa and bought PES. Since PES's release I thought that PES would be the game for me. But after a while I got bored. So I went back to Fifa the other night and started a carear mode with Soton. Im really enjoying it. Lost to Liverpool 0-1 in first league game with a last minute goal and beat WBA 3-1 at home.
2 really good games but I have always felt that with Fifa the best games are when 2 good/average teams play not the top teams. I enjoyed the WBA game more. Not cos I won but it really represented how the game would go in real life. The game went 1-0, 1-1, 2-1 and then WBA pushed up and pinned me in forcing me to counter. One ball over the top caught them out and the centre half pulled my forward back. Red card. Again WBA did all the pressing and I counted and scored a third.
Add the atmosphere and real stadium and Fifa is a good game this year. I havent adjusted any sliders yet as at the moment im enjoying it how it is.

I love what can happen in a Fifa match. I´ve been playing around with sliders, but I think I´m starting the sindrome where I´m never happy with the tweaks, so I think I´m going to put them back on default and enjoy the game as it is. Matches might not be so realistic without proper sliders, but they sure are exciting, and that´s all I need. Too bad, I enjoyed the gameplay better before any patches. Now it seems faster?

Good way to see it. I guess I would feel the same way if I hadn´t bought it.
You are right about celebrations, but in FIFA they could be adjusted a little better either.
I see it quite often that when a team that is behind, scores a goal, the striker grabs the ball to playce it back to the kick off point.
That´s good, but yesterday I won 4:1 against Portugal and when they scored the goal in the last few mins they were celebrating as if they was leading
.Also, for the first time I had it that the cpu was closing the ball at the corner flag in the last minutes, even I was leading...lol.
But that doesn´t bug me that much.
Exactly! That´s what I felt in the demo for the very first time in a FIFA game, which made me buy the full release.
People who love and defend PES (I used to be one of those as well) mostly come up with the argument that PES´ gameplay is superior and FIFA is only about presentation and licenses.
That´s ok, but some don´t see that FIFA is making big steps in gameplay as well.
I hope they improve on player models and get rid of those partial too hectic animations.
100% agree.
About those celebrations ahah, they are wierd indeed. Good though that they don´t happen so often. Portugal celebrating a late goal in a 4-1 score? Strange, I thought Fifa didn´t have those kind of things, at least that I´ve noticed about. Perhaps they needed a goal to go to next round of whatever comepetition you were playing? Maybe not, just guessing here lol.
