@dobbiniho I've written a long post with the problems of Clubs this year and I even forgot some things.
You are right, the indirect free kicks are impossible to aim. I'm talking about an indirect free kick at say halfway. This is a 'reward for a foul yet a lot of the time these end up in counterattacks against you because they're so hard to aim! It's like they're on Manual with the error rate cranked up. Why? In real life indirect free kicks at half way very very very seldom result in counterattacks
Also, moving the GK at corners is harder. I'm personally not a fan of this system anyway, but it is what it is and now it's been nerfed.
As for upgrading your AI as you mention, I fear that this will turn it into "Ultimate Team" and everyone have unreal stacked teams with defenders magnetically attracted to the ball. I would not enjoy this personally. I think the old system of +2 overall upgrade per 2 division promoted worked fine.
I also agree re: refs. There is no consistency. I have done slide tackle from behind with a pro with a slide tackle rating of about 60 and won ball clearly when I didn't expect to, and other times I've clearly won the ball with a pro with 87 slide tackle rating and its been a RED card. RED. No consistency. I also notice enemy GK often fouls our ST and rarely is a penalty given. (When it's the gk who fouls), again no consistency.
I've also noticed ai defenders give away more penalties in 24 than previously. They seem to do a B "standing tackle" from behind with no hope of winning ball, sometimes when that player no longer even has the ball.
I also believe the B standing tackle is just useless generally, and the "recovery time" from making the tackle is ridiculous. My player seems to stand and look at his watch and then eventually decides to snap back to reality. I don't understand this, or what real life footage they took this idea from.
I'd also suggest the "recovery time" from taking an indirect free kick is too long too. Its hard to 1-2 with the free kick taker as they enter a sort of zombified state for 1-2 seconds before becoming controllable again.
Worst fifa title in years, I hope UFL blows it out the water. Judging by how few are playing 24 I feel a half decent competitor title will do well.
