Description

Right stick switching is the mechanic that most separates good defenders from the rest: here's how to master it.

In this video, Gravesen explains why it is essential to learn to switch players with the right stick instead of relying on L1, especially if you are just starting out. The focus is on understanding which sensitivity to use to improve accuracy: the extreme values (0 and 10) are tested and he reaches a conclusion on the most advisable setting.

What you will learn

  • Why switch with the right stick instead of relying on L1.
  • Which option to choose for L1 switching and for the right stick.
  • Squad Battles drills to chain switches between full-backs and centre-backs without missing.
  • What goes wrong with sensitivity at 0 and at 10, and which value he recommends.
  • How to think about the stick so you aim better at the player you want.

Who it is for

For players starting to defend manually who switch with L1 almost every time.

When to use it

When practising against the AI and in transitions, when your opponent switches the play.
