Using Advanced Defending last year really changed my game for the better. And the shoulder challenge definitely seems a lot more impactful this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see most non-pros switching from Tactical to Advanced in FC 25.
Its true, just gonna post this also in case anyone is wondering, I think it is really beneficial and is BETTER than TACTICAL, I still use tactical ofc cus when I am teaching its easier for people to copy, but people misunderstood me last year, for 90% of the player base it would make defending worse, because they need to know timing, yes they may get it right a few times but the key is it would cost them more. You really need to know how to defend, have the basics on lock and be very proficient, as long as you know how to time your tackles, and your defending is good, then advanced defending is a good option, its why I say mainly elite players, or maybe the very rare few odd people that may have good timing of defending. Most people unfortunately still struggle with the basics of defending.
Jst got the game and fixed all the settings including 144hz, 120 fps i guess, and still feels so slow. Advanced defending feels same as tactical, holding x there was a gap. Got surprise double check my defending, to make sure if its in advanced defending. Anyways jst realize, there's a glitch and i had to reset my controller keybinds cuz i was not able to player lock and move the goal keeper.
Ahh, thanks for the actually detailed explanation. Will definately be using ball relative. My eyes very much flick around and not smoothly track, so i lose track of the player im controlling when im going to switch player anyway. Probably why my right stick switching takes two inputs a lot.
Mate, I was playing FUT champs and won my first game. Lost 4 in a row because it wasn’t doing what I wanted. Got frustrated and came across this video. Changed my settings and the gameplay is responsive now and getting wins. Thanks to your video. Keep the content coming. Keep the ‘waffle’ too lool. It’s good to understand what the changes actually do x
@@ahmedbsoul6318call it what you want but it has made a massive difference to my games. Before the game was unplayable but now it feels how it should . Still shit but playable lool
Great stuff as always, Neal. But I believe the player switch sensitivity works a bit different than you describe here. Just like you, I initially thought "sensitivity" referred to the directional inputs. But later found out that it actually refers to how far you flick the right stick, to the distance of travel of the stick. For example, if you choose 1, you may have to push the stick hard to make a switch. If you choose 9, a slight flick of the stick is enough.
Can you make a video how to hold my controller? I mean seriously. When I use precision shot- I am very precise but my finger slips up of L3 which causes me to shoot late sometimes or to shoot inaccurate.
This game is shit , i reached division 5 and i lost around 30games ,im not able to win 😢😢my players are not working the way they used to ,this is really depressing,help i tried different tactics but i just feel like game is not letting me win only
Make sure you have a good connection, a decent enough team, lock in, watch the goals you concede and dont do what made them happen in the future, also force attacks, this year is kinda yolo
Auto Switching for me needs to be on Manual, i can defend corners and press my opponent easier (You know when you have a player selected and then AI decides to change it for you at the last sec? With manual i'm in control).
Subscribed thanx thus auto switching was killing me coz the moment i switch to a player they are running automatically to opponent then they make a through goal n get easy goal wilk come back n lyk if thus worked or my gane buggy
I have always used adaptive because often times, I’d need to switched to a player on the far end of the pitch to reposition him or to anticipate an attack from my opponent. IT DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE and I’m not sure if anybody is experiencing this issue. The second def icon will appear to the player I’d like to select but the switch won’t actually go to that player. Works perfectly in 24 but not at all here. Any help from anyone
bro please help!!!! my controller works perfectly for squad battles and other modes! but it doesnt work when i play rush or division rivals only... what can I do please help !!!! im frustrated!!
Downloaded the game on Friday and had all sorts of issues - so will try these settings. Not sure if there is something off with my controller (works fine on every other game) or and issue with the game download, but I have so much weird stuff happening. Simple changes in direction - play boots then ball away from them. I had the game player locking without me doing anything. Pressing pass and no response, the player just keeps dribbling or juggling the ball. Quick subs icon comes up to press R2…I press R2…nothing happens. Deleted and now re-downloading to see if that does anything. Has anyone else had these issues? This isn’t a skill issue, I’m a div2 rivals player and these are really basic things not working.
What a trash company..year after year instead of improving the game, they just ruin it…i already gave up to play it because i just can’t make a single pass without my plauer just kick the ball away without me doing anything and i search for some explanarion or some fix thing and i just can’t find anything about…i still wondering why they should add some stuff like that in the game just a stupid thing to say that the game are “diferent” yes badly diferent
Guys i have my defending on advanced defending and when i press x to use shoulder, my player always goes forward(contain) this wasnt the case last year, my player didnt contain with X. Anyone know a fix?
Please do you have a solution to the players kicking the ball away using direction buttons instead of left stick. I’m not able to play the game because everytime I move the ball with the player they kick almost flick the ball away
To all EA fans, I have a problem. In EA24, Ps5 R3 button was used to flick up the ball. The same button does nothing, absolutely nothing in EA25. There is nothing wrong with gamepad, R3 is not broken, it is fully functional. Does anybody experience the same problem? Any fixes or suggestions? 🤕
I've being trying search up Assisted Headers to stay on but always turns back to Off when I go into a match online.. is Assisted Headers for fut or seasons/friendlies? As this manual Headers nonsense I can't deal with it.. just curious to know if you have any info how I can do this
Cant believe I am saying in 2024 but, if you see at the bottom of the video there is a little bar, where you can move it and skip forward in the video, you drag that along and you can skip ahead in the video, or you can press right on your arrow keys while watching to skip through that settings.
@@Twombs22 yeah but still you can just quickly skip, I mean tbh @ar4ye could of just not clicked as soon as he saw 17mins he should of realised its an explanation not a short. Whats the point of just copying random settings without knowing what they are though lol, most people end up choosing the wrong setting because they dont understand the settings, I do have a quick one on twitter its like a two minute video
@@NealGuides its not your fault these kids nowadays have short attention spans and can't listen to some information before their brains starts to tingle
It is because this year as it seems you can not sprint straight away when receiving the ball, I had the same problem and tried to always take a touch first and the sprint (unless you have a lot of space infront of you)
Best META Controller Settings To INCREASE Reaction Time need to know if how can use classic like x for passing o for long shot, and [ ] for air shot R2 for RUN
all pros are using it because they have to and it increases your chances of scoring, if you are not good enough, then dont use it as clearly explained in the video

This game is shite, takes about 25 minutes to change player, and then switches to the wrong one, every single time
For the l1 switching I recommend using closet to ball because it’s much easier and your going to know which player it’s gonna switch next to

Changing to ball relative last year was a great suggestion. So much better.
question, how do you draw on your own screen?? what do you use?
woooow absolute game changer for me thank you so much i appreciate you..stay safe brother

Exactly
creating new config to fix player lock and gk movement is so helpful thank you
So just make the new slot but with the same buttons u usually use ? And that fixes gk movements?
Is tactical defending better than advanced defending in settings?
Can you make a video how to hold my controller? I mean seriously. When I use precision shot- I am very precise but my finger slips up of L3 which causes me to shoot late sometimes or to shoot inaccurate.
I'm gonna give semi settings a try, seems to be the way to go for more manual control!
Awesome guide!
Thanks!
Some more Meta Teams would be nice.

Default off online you have to manually aim
Git gud. The good players do full manual everything and you cry about having to do just headers
Soooo I can’t press R3 to switch to another player while defending? Hmmmmm
Could anybody tell me why when I press o my controller keeps on fake shooting?
Did they fix the broken defending?
It's really good I haven't had any issues I got cooked one game but I lost composure but it's good in terms of mechanics
@@PrOtaku123I’ve slapped you many times 😂
Does anyone have this L3 problem when playing fc25 ps5. While playing if you press L3 inn a black window pop on screen. Plz advice how to fix it
My settings from fc 24 have been saved to fc 25 so i dont have to do anything

My settings aren’t saving again just like last FC, anyone else having the same problem?
How can i fix the glitch where i get precision shooting while it says assisted in the settings
Did u change in-game or in menus?
Every time i try to run with the ball, the player just kick the ball away and i’m losing every single attack because of that…shitty game
I have found 442 holding to be a strong formation ive gotten from div 5 to midway of div 3 with only one loss by using it
442 the best
Everytime i try to run or dribble the ball bounce and the player can’t hold it or keep it still i can’t make a run how to fix it ?
I have the same problem and i can’t solve it…i gave up to play because of that
It is because this year as it seems you can not sprint straight away when receiving the ball, I had the same problem and tried to always take a touch first and the sprint (unless you have a lot of space infront of you)
