CPU pressure

[iaxy]

For the most part I am enjoying this game with the OS sliders, but for me it is literally a game of two halves.

When I am in the CPU's half, it plays really well and it is enjoyable and rewarding to build an attack with tactical awareness and patience, but in my half the CPU is chasing me relentlessly and it resembles an online arcade.

Now, I understand that certain teams are set up to press super aggressively, but this is just insane. They literally chase like dobermans who have not eaten for a week. And that is only on World Class difficulty.

How in the world do you reduce the CPU pressure from their forwards?
I have tried lowering Marking, tries setting the aggressiveness to 0, but nothing seems to work!

That's football though. A lot of teams play that way in real life.

They should get tired earlier in the game though. Do they?
