In the Next Gen version of FIFA 22 the defenders will carry out a more organized defensive phase giving greater importance to the entire department rather than the individual defensive phase, this will guarantee greater coverage of the spaces.
As was the case last year, the Defensive Awareness Attribute continues to be the most important in determining the effectiveness of these behaviors.Â
With Tactical AI, players have more personality in FIFA 22 than FIFA 21:
- Defensive Work Rates and fatigue have a significant impact on the defensive positioning of players.
- Placing any player that is not a Centre Back in a Centre Back position will negatively impact their defensive positioning.
Our goal for Tactical AI is to ensure players have a balanced experience in terms of AI teammates, and we will keep monitoring FIFA 22Â to make sure there are good ways to break defense down as well as good ways to counter.
We remind you that by Pre Order the Ultimate and Standard Edition of EA SPORTS FC 24 on the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One system you can get the version for the equivalent new generation console (Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 system) at no additional cost thanks to the Dual Entitlement service.

FIFA 22 is available from October 1st on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Steam and Nintendo Switch. Keep on following us also through our social Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for other news and information.
