Yep, it's an issue. Eerily reminiscent of PES last year. It's not a problem on Pro difficulty, but on World Class or Legendary the CPU retains possession effortlessly without doing much with it.

The backline defending fiasco from last year has been greatly improved but the defensive system in general still sucks.

I do think/hope/expect this will be an issue that'll be fixed for the full release. There's a number of things with the demo that don't feel quite right that I expect/pray will be refined for the retail version.

I raised the shot error for CPU about to 60 and it has curtailed it a bit. I'll have to play some more to find a sweet spot.

Possibly but then the wingers man-mark the fullbacks which also then eliminates the possibility of switching play

Is it me or does the CPU still not try scoring off the long ball?

It´s too completely different situations, although both equally bad:

PES: CPU passes the ball mindlessly on defence.
FIFA: CPU passes the ball mindlessly on offence.

That might be a placebo effect, since in every version of FIFA if you increase shot error, they will shoot even less (with less precision when they do obvioulsy).

It´s not you Peji, it´s a legacy problem that still isn´t solved 4 years running...

PES for me again this year I guess. I want to want to enjoy FIFA but I need players to shoot from afar, rather than walking it in.

But i want the licenses dammit!
