Try going back to basics. Turn off heatseeker and just move your defender to the runner, there is no actual tackle button. Don't use hit stick or press x, just the left stick to get them in position

On returns, take control of a plate early and hold them back, then when they go around the side there is you and the kicker to block off the angle

ye i just take control of defender when close i click off otherwise i miss time tackle or stands there like a numpty

I had 2 really tough games last night mate against Evo and Paddy and in each game I had the same issue... its not easy to get the tackles right so from now im just going to let the comp do it like trooper... dont leave mate, your playing really well
