FootballOn the Zen's screen: DEFENSE

Defense Assist & Manual Jockey

Contain also jockeys, and jockey turns into sprint jockey when you push the stick far.

What it does

Defense Assist adds jockey (L2) while you hold contain (Cross), so your defender keeps facing the attacker while closing them down.

Manual jockey: while you jockey (holding L2, or through the assist), pushing the left stick past SPRINT JOCK% adds R2, which is sprint jockey. Small pushes stay a normal jockey.

You still tackle (Circle), slide (Square) and switch players yourself. It only adds buttons; it never moves your stick.

When it runs

All the time while it's ON: whenever you hold Cross, or jockey and push the stick past SPRINT JOCK%.

    Each press

    How far you push the left stick while jockeying before it adds sprint (R2). 0 turns it off.

    • Raise it: You have to push further before it sprint-jockeys.
    • Lower it: It sprint-jockeys with smaller pushes.

Tune it in-game

Mods pause while the menu is open, so close it each time you want to test a change, then open it again to adjust.

  1. Hold L2 and press OPTIONS to open the menu.

  2. Press D-pad up or down until the screen shows DEFENSE, then press Cross.

  3. On ENABLED, press D-pad right so it shows ON.

  4. Close the menu and defend in a friendly or the practice arena.

  5. If your defender sprints when you only want to shuffle, raise SPRINT JOCK. If they're too slow to follow a fast winger, lower it.

  6. If contain plus jockey feels too passive for you, turn ASSIST OFF.

  7. When you're happy, hold L2 and press OPTIONS to close the menu. Your settings save to the Zen.

Tips and conflicts

  • Use Tactical defending in the game's settings: this mod is built around manual jockey and contain.
  • In FC 27 manual jockey is faster and teammate contain starts from a bit farther away, so switch players to press harder.

Conflicts

No known clashes with the other mods.

Build it in the generator

Switch on Defense Assist & Manual Jockey under Mods, set your starting values (and Default ON if you want it on from the start), then download your script. You can still change every value on the Zen afterwards.
