Which buttom do you use to cover the ball/ hold up play? Done over 800 games and still dont figure out how some people do. I just cant get the ball from some opponents. I do OK in WL but stop playing it. Now only play div and currently in div 2.

I am in ps4.

Thanks

    L2 to shield the ball. Then use the analogy stick to assist it's direction

    L2 and just turn with left stick? I have big problem to defend those who turn and turn and turn at the same time they cover it. Is thereany other way to cover but still keep speed in attack?

    For the defending people who are just shielding/protecting the ball using L2 I use contain, or team-mate contain & try and intercept their next pass or path to goal.

    I don't understand your second question on covering but still keeping speed in attack

    If you want to take the ball from a player, get close and do a standing tackle.

    You can in fact run and shield the ball at the same time.

    Sorry I was not very clear.
    I find it hard (impossible) to play some guys that have their players have the ball very close to thier feet (they cover the ball in some way but still run) and turn easy and smooth. I know the L2 buttom but is there any other way to cover?
