Easy Stuff to Get Unstuck on Defense
Feeling stuck in a defensive rotation? Unfortunately, there could be a variety of reasons a player feels overwhelmed on defense, which may be exactly what is preventing them from ranking up. It could be related to their positioning, rotations, game sense, mechanics, or boost management—the list goes on and on! Defensive ball control is specifically discussed in this video, and it's encouraged to take a simplified approach to solving its problems. Avoid passing or centering to the opposing team with one simple trick: hit a grounder into the defensive corner and control the boost instead of a booming clear off the wall. A grounder is the first step towards ball control mechanics, and a 50/50 serves as a last resort, which can be taken in the corner or on the sidewall. If a corner grounder into boost control is executed properly, then a player's boost management is set up to leverage the wall for mechanics, whether it's in the form of a clear, ball control in the air, or dropping it back down for a ground dribble or flick. If a player chooses to boom the ball, then it's recommended to focus on two core aspects: beat the player or boom the ball past the midfield line. The faster, harder, and farther a booming clear goes, the better, and players can also consider using redirects or cut rotation to clear the ball as well. Using defensive control to transition, whether it's through ball control mechanics or booming clears, is an easy way to reduce mistakes and spend less time in a defensive rotation. Free Play and Training Packs are great tools for players to practice the above-mentioned topics. Here's the Training Pack code referenced in the video: BC75-D829-F042-DD2B
