Scripting more toxic than ever this year?

[Aviator87AC]

Now before we go down the "git gud" path, let me start by saying I'm having a lot of fun with FIFA this year. It's one of the most beautiful sports sims today. That being said, I've also seen some of the most eye-bleeding AI-scripty comebacks ever.

Last night I played the same career mode game 5 times in a row against a rather lackluster team. Each game ended up with my side losing by 2 or 3 goals. No matter what I did I was never going to win that match, despite adjusting CTTs and formation. Other matches feel like I couldn't lose if I tried, no matter how bad I play.

I think tonight takes the prize, when my own player lined up a brilliant OG header to tie the match and draw level in the 90th minute. Seriously, you couldn't make this sh*t up.

Call it scripting or momentum, whichever you prefer, but has anyone else noticed it extremely obvious in '19?

Yes there is a lot of forced momentum or tilting, I had it happen the other day in squad battles with my team being 83 ovr 100 chem vs a 77 ovr 59 chem team that smashed me 3-0, had my players pass like crap missing everytime and AI teammates actually run AWAY from loose balls on purpose. Also happened in rivals, we were tied 1-1 and I somehow was gifted the ball in the 90th minute and ruined the match for the other guy while his players ghosted through me before I kicked the ball in the net, when he could've easily taken the ball away at least 5 times during my possession in the final minute.

It s not scripting...the CPU changes what it does strategically in reaction to the game situation. If you don't change your tactics then you'll be at a disadvantage. You see, "code" is not scripting.



You do understand that you're playing a computer right?


Here's some help with understanding how strategy works in the game:

You haven't even played the game have you. Otherwise you would have noticed that this year they were so lazy that the cpu will never change from their balanced gameplan. You can check, although it's blindingly obvious with teams that are setup with constant pressure or with teams that will drop back and let you keep the ball for 90 minutes even if they're losing.

Anyway I don't believe there is a "you're gonna lose no matter what" type of scripting, but some of the goals possible are pure bs. For example first touch volleys from impossible angles, silly bicycle kicks, etc. It can happen anytime, they tried too hard to make the game "hard" so i can see how it can appear like scripting when it's just "ridiculous football 2018".

But that's me giving them the benefit of the doubt on this one. If at some point in the future it turns out there is "scripting" in this game I will not be shocked at all.

This has been discussed year after year with both FIFA and NHL.

FIFA has a system referred to in the game files as “dynamic difficulty” that will give the CPU advantages depending upon certain scenarios. Like if you score within the first 20 minutes, the CPU gets a 25% advantage in terms of difficulty. Or if you score two goals in the first half the CPU gets a 50% bump.

It is what it is, but to claim there is no “scripting” or “ice tilt” or “dynamic difficulty” is just factually incorrect.

[Aviator87AC]

The PC guys have torn apart the code and confirmed it as well.

This has nothing to do with the CPU adjusting tactics, it's hard coded advantage that plays out depending upon game score and previous team performance.

This is the -Remove AI Scripting MOD- for Fifa18 (u basically just paste it on the end of the locale.ini). The so-called 'SCRIPTING/MOMENTUM' is a bunch of values and 'WHEN IF DO's' .... that's why in many games you feel like if you shoot a goal, the CPU gets very strong. That has nothing to do with Tactics, Game Plans. All the Attributes and Skills gets overwritten by the 'SCRIPT'
