What in the world.......that's atrocious.

Yes, that's a given. However, it should breed some discussion that depending on where the cursor is, the CPU may not see it as a threat, thus choosing to make these safe passes. Another part, and I'll test this later, this could be confirmation that tactics do work. It would make sense as I personally defend the CPU by controlling only (as much as I can of course) my CDM or CM.

Look at you, always positive Matt! I love it, I hope you're right. I'm getting the game no matter what but would like some of those small things working correctly out of the box.

This has been the case for a long time, Im surprised it just now seems to have garnered some attention. The CPU only reacts to where your cursor is. Try this, when the cpu has the ball spam the switch player button and slide tackle repeatedly amd watch the CPU have a meltdown.

Not necessarily, I've done the whole approach with FIFA 16 as well. Just left a forward to run around while I don't switch. The CPU plays the same way, just as direct. This is definitely different, but not sure if it's a good thing. It's more about finding where the control can come from.

I'm intrigued though to try slide tackling off the pitch, will give it a go .

Disappointed in the demo, but then again I really didn't enjoy the demo for FIFA 16 and the full game was much better.

Same awful shooting animations, and even worse ones for penalties now, same cheesy difficulty settings which rely on making your players stupid or their players psychic to account for user skill.

Played on professional and won 6-0 played on the level above and I'm conceding 60% possession and lose one nil on their only shot.

I only buy FIFA to play online and with my friends anyway, because the game has literally zero enjoyability vs the CPU. Its practically unplayable.

Was very impressed by the Journey though and I'm excited to see where the story goes, especially if I choose to sign for Middlesbrough or Hull.

Don't know if there has been a confirmed answer anywhere coz google is no help but can we actually change Alex Hunter's hair style? This dude's mash up hairline is annoying.

Likewise I never play with shirt tucked in, and I want to choose my own boots. If EA don't let us even change those things I'm gonna be pissed.

Additional BS to note:

Played as Inter and the referee still had a kit that clashed with mine. The luminescent socks of Inter matched perfectly with the refs socks and his shirt. The fact this issue is still here after FIFA 16 when they said they patched it and didn't change ****, is incredibly frustrating.

Well, actually, I rage quit at 4-0. We all know how Chelsea plays when they get a lead. It's "park the bus city." Heck, ANY team would have parked the bus with THAT lead. Sure hope the logic gets fixed, because that was pretty pathetic.

this is actually a good thing. they could smell blood, and so often games are dull affairs on FIFA vs CPU purely because tactically they retreat and can't respond to the onslaught.
