problem using fss and backing down

Don't know if it is designed like that but what a f***, last year if i pressd fss butom + 4 of shoot etc. a 3 point shooter would shoot 4 different shots now it is just one and no matter if i move that trigger left or right, sometimes a player does not even shoot so i press fss + shoot to make a shot which is more convenient but at the same time i can't choose the shot type
another issue is backing down, it used to be just moving down right trigger now it does not work, so how do i back down?

Anybody facing same stuff?

Are you aware that you no longer perform FSS moves by pushing the face buttons?

thanks, but that does not solve backing down problem on the defense
