Please Note:
As of Early January 2021, The team press has nerfed significantly, and its better off using a tactic such as Constant Pressure in dynamic tactics. They have decreased the amount of time Team press can be active for, and only works now for 15 seconds and the cool down remains. Also there is a 2 second delay from when you activate the button, and also in situations where the defending team is using Team Press and recovers possession, Team Press will not automatically remain active on the following loss of possession.
Decreased the amount of time the Team Press D-Pad Tactic can be active for, before requiring cooldown, from 20 seconds to 15 seconds.

- Cooldown timer: 120 seconds for full recharge
- Team Press Time: 30 Seconds of team press [after needs recharge]
- Recharges only when you are not team pressing
- Team press automatically turns off ONLY if 30 seconds of press gets depleted
- Team Pressure tactics are instant, and override Custom Tactics (i.e. you can use "Drop Back" defensive style and still use team press)
