Tackling

[J.M.]

I sometimes struggle with some of the tackling challenges. Some require you to perform 12 successful tackles in a 3 minute game for example.

What's the easiest way to do this as I'm always 2 or 3 short.

I found putting the game on easy makes a difference, the players are easier to tackle. Try to play in a 5 minute match, I tackled 20 times in one of those compared to 12 odd in a three minute and that was cutting it fine. Also use L2 not square as you have a greater chance of winning the ball.

During campaign you can't choose how long the games are. Sometimes when I'm trying to unlock defenders I have to perform 12 successful tackles in 3 minutes, if I could extend that to 5 minutes I would.

I've always used X to tackle (same with FIFA although I do slide there too), so I haven't got used to the L2 button when tackling. I suppose I could try putting the difficulty down to an easier setting.

I know you can't extend the duration of the match, but you can have the opportunity to play the same country in a 5 minute match in a new venue, allowing extra chance for succeeding.
