#DareToDefend
In defense of defense in the attack-obsessed culture of world football via Xbox One
EA Sports FIFA
Pro Clubs is littered with impatient attacking midfielders, selfish strikers and unimaginative wingers who either don't know or lack the the integrity to understand that defense begins up top.
Defenders spend most of their time playing against an average 90 rating attack and often alone because you don't have the guts to drop back.
Meanwhile, you stumble directly down the center of the pitch with hopeless lobs and careless spin moves against a 75 average rated defense.
You still have the audacity to talk down on those of us with the patience, intelligence and discipline to perform the underrated act of defence.
The AI has always suffered your flaws and allowed you to blame them for your failures. Now, they have support.
We Dare To Defend.
Don't you?
