Deep Defender

UnreleasedStill being reviewed

In one sentence

Not released yet. A back-line defender allowed to drop deeper: depth limit 7 m behind the team reference line instead of 6 m, and a 1 m smaller tolerance in one line check.

Who does this affect?

Only while the computer controls him. Found on: Compatible positions in the code: CB, LB, RB. Not released yet (the game's style data marks it unreleased); no card has it.

How it works

The code is already in the game. In the team-shape code that places a back-line defender, his depth limit behind the team reference line is 7 m instead of 6 m (no extra metre in one special case). In a check on the gap between two opponents his tolerance is 1 m smaller (−2.5 m instead of −1.5 m). Details may change before release.

When it applies

Only at CB, LB or RB.

Without it

A defender without the style may drop 6 m behind the reference line.
