There are people in EA Forums complaining that the cpu defenders close down quickly their attackers...

The "midfield battles" in this game are just a bunch of errant passes. Especially by the CPU. It seems like they just pass it right at my defenders sometimes. Even if they have a perfectly open back pass.

Another thing they've yet to fix is the handball stuff. Even with it on the CPU will fling itself atca shot like a possessed ragdoll and manage to block a shot with its hand, wrist, arm, shoulder and it won't get called. My defenders, on the other hand, not so lucky.

The CPU AI, by and large, still defends as if magnetically tied to your player. Mirroring every moment of the joystick. It's been like that for as long as FIFA has been around, so I guess I shouldn't complain, and I wouldn't if it were just the Boatengs, Silvas, and Piques of the world, but again even the Maya Yoshidas have the speed of a cat and the reflexes of a mongoose ...

im not sure what level you play against the cpu but on world class and higher the cpu plays quite well. setup your passes better if your having issues. last year you could ping passes around without even facing the player your passing to, this year you need the correct power and aim.


on my fut draft squad i had ronaldo and his speed and power was easily noticed when running at my opponents defense. using the knock on while sprinting will help break you away from the defender.


im glad its harder to score this year , last years game on offense was a joke.

I play on Legendary, all manual. I'm not saying the game is too difficult. It plays better than last year's disaster. It's just some of the same issues for the past few years that annoy me. The CPU will still just boot it out of bounds of pressured one on one in their own 3rd instead of passing it to the goalie, seems they've applied that same logic to the midfield.

this is where i feel like im playing a different game. the cpu passes back to the gk for me and builds up from the back. last year if i double teamed a defender he would just boot it out of bounds but this year thats not happening.

wierd

Same for me on all difficulties.

If you crazy pressure them sometimes they will just clear out of bounds. That is realistic though. But if you just realistically pressure a mid or defender they play the ball back and build up. Some wide men if angles are correct cross the ball over depending on your positioning. Again very real football like. At least that is what has happened in all my matches.

Also passing is very much improved. They will not just pass back heel all the time. Basically players pass where they could in a real game. This is why sometimes they do just clear it out of bounds. When that is the only play they have that is what they make. Where last year they could pass or boot it any direction at any moment very unrealistically. The game is way better.

The game is better. At least on the surface. What I'm most concerned with are the sliders and tactics holding up over 2+ seasons, mostly for teams to play differently game to game.
