EA FC 24 Feedback - What is the most important problem that needs ATTENTION

The AI marking and pressing in EA FC 24 is too unbalanced, especially compared to what your own AI does in possession.

The defensive AI is superior to the attacking AI. The defensive AI is very aggressive in marking/pressing, which happens for 90 minutes without stamina loss. The attacking AI is simple said stupid, there's often not many good passing options available resulting in possession for the sake of possession.

This can be very frustrating for players, as it makes it very difficult to create chances and score goals. It is also unrealistic, as no team in the world has perfect defensive marking. Not trying to say its impossible to create chances, but you need to put in a lot of work compared to what your opponent has to do - simply doing nothing and letting the AI mark/press.

A simple fix could be to leave it as is, but buff the positioning of your own AI to provide proper passing options and making a run off the ball while in possession.

Below is an example of a situation where you try to bypass the marking/pressing. If you take time at the sideline, the AI is very fast at closing down passing lanes/marking players at the sideline. Often I end up in situations as showed below to make a combination into space. But either the runner reacts slowly or the defensive AI is very tight in its marking and following/closing down that option, resulting in having to go back.

(You trigger the run and pass it to your winger. Player needs to walk into the space but the defensive AI is very accurate in following/marking that run)

  • Regarding World Class difficulty (83+ rated squads) and any rating for Legendary, the AI is just completely overpowering in this version.

    In past versions, once you faked or got away with one player, you always had space and time to make a move or get downfield. 

    In this version, if you fake out a player (which is very hard to do), or win the ball back or get around them, they have 1 or 2 other players that track you down right away, constantly winning the ball back.  Also, if you manage to get by an AI player along the sidelines, their other defender (usually on of the CBs) ALWAYS catches up to you with speed and precision on perfect angling.  They are just ALWAYS faster (no matter what player they are or what player you are) and the AI always makes the tackle (which has always been the case as well in past versions) when defending in their third of the pitch and you dribble anywhere near them.

    In one match (my squad is 86 rated and their squad was all Bronze players with 61 rating and 0 chemistry), I was winning 4-0 at the half.  In the second half, they completely controlled the ball the entire half and scored 2 goals.  I could not manage to win the ball and when I did, they would go at you immediately and win it back.  Total BS.  EA totally upped the sliders and the team was completely different than the first half team. This version is just frustrating.
