Tactical defending schools you in the admittedly less glamourous part of the game. So whenever possible, stay on your feet or you'll get brutally punished. Mistime it fractionally and you'll be left in the wake of a gloating winger as he scampers towards goal. You have to decide expertly when to stick out a leg. Whilst in previous games tackling was an ever-dependable tactic to regain possession speedily, in FIFA 12 tackling is, as it should be, a last defence. It's more engaging, and you actually have more to do than ever before when you're not in possession.
If done correctly you'll be able to restrict the other team's movement, eventually forcing mistakes. Instead of bludgeoning teams with an overwhelming tide of pressure that requires little skill, you use the defensive cornerstones of 'contain' and 'jockey' to marshall the opposition when you lose the ball. Replacing the 'pressurise' defensive system, wherein you could launch fullbacks like Tomahawk missiles, tactical defending is a much more sophisticated approach to defending and ultimately it engenders games with a more authentic rhythm.
Since the release of the demo it's been divisive and has more than a few naysayers. First up, tactical defending perhaps poses the biggest challenge to veteran fans of the series.
