Yeah,I mentioned this earlier. Changing shooting from auto to semi or manual should help this though.

100% how I feel after playing many games last night and this morning. The game went from a first-day purchase to a wait and see for me. I only play offline and haven't bought a FIFA game in 2 years specifically because of this issue, along with a couple other offline AI issues that have plagued this series for years and that I'm seeing in this demo.

Did you guys play 2011 version? Does it happen a lot in 2011?

I didn't play FIFA 11. I was hoping they would eventually fix this, so I skipped a year. It's becoming annoying watching CPU teams run the ball down the side, send a perfect cross to a teammate in the box, and bang -- header into my goal. I dropped down in difficulty to see if it was a settings issue, but the exact same thing happens on the lower difficulty levels as well. It's like some kind of pre-determined auto-goal programming.

I found a temporary fix for this issue in 12. Basically, knowing the CPU will attack the wings, I defend the wings right from the get go (boxing them out, forcing them to play in the middle). When I do this, I notice different results in offense for the CPU. But most of the time they force the issue and attack the wings even if it was heavily defended. This makes it very predictable IMO.

I appreciate the tips, that makes sense. What's annoying me is that the CPU sends perfect crosses onto the heads of its teammates every freaking time, even on amateur difficulty. In PES 2011, CPU players, depending on their ability, will often cross the ball and it misses everyone by yards and ends up rolling OB on the other side of the pitch. It just seems so automatic and deadly in the FIFA demo. But maybe that's because they're all top teams or something?

I think it was made like that lol! Thank god for passing sliders this year. If the sliders are implemented correctly, we can definitely minimize those accurate passes by CPU.
