Game Currently Unplayable since update.

Yes agree. From what I can see the AI in defence is WAY to strong, it is actually so strong that even when you are defending you feel that the players are not moving in your input direction to jump the attacker, and I have turned off auto switching move assistance. Some other examples of what makes this unplayable for me right now.

1. Players standing still when you pass it to them, so the other team takes it, even tho your player was clearly open. You cant even run towards the ball, because when you are the player that is reciving the ball, some kind of mechanic forcing you to stand on the spot until the ball is there. 

2. This is a bit tricky to explain, but it is also regarding passing. Earlier I tried a quick pass, but I could clearly see that the opponents defender change direction from the player it was already marking and run to cut out the pass/mark my player before my player even sent the pass. It is like the AI would use wall hack in a shooter game. Its like it read my input, delay the pass a tiny second, then went to mark my player, and after this it released the pass.

3. The extreme delay, and sometimes not even registering inputs. Other games dont have an issue at this scale.

4. 71 depth, that makes the opponents attacker act like Maldini.

5. The constant bounce back to the opponent when you are defending. And this is so weird, because in point 4 the 71 depth, when you get sorrunded by the opponents attacker, they always take the ball, it does not bounce back to you. It is like when you defend manually you cant take the ball, but if you let the AI do it, it actually gathers it. 

6. The wingers runs in to the middle of the pitch when defending. This is the other reason everybody is playing down the wing, where the first is that your players are standing still when you pass to them. I think this is a big bug, because I tried a tactic earlier with a offensive midfielder, and set the player to "come back in defence", while the two central midfielder had "cover center". The offensive midfielder ran straight back to defending in the middle, so one of the central midfielder was push more to the side.

7. With advanced defending when players use R1+X, the defender sometimes get an enormous speed burst.

8. "The pull" in the game. I can feel a player charging me, even tho they are 5-10 meters away, especaly the better defenders like Van Dijk. My player are suddenly very slow, and can hardly turn.

I know this a problem for so many people, and the community has been saying the AI is to strong for years, and lets be honest when it is hard to score against an opponent that puts the controller down, something is wrong. Why it is like this I dont know, maybe its hard to code it differently, but untily they do they should at least turn the AI down to professional in games, so people actualy feel they are playing it themself

The AI is too strong in some areas but absolutely terrible in other areas. If this isn’t addressed, this is the last EA game I buy.

I'm sorry to say but EA simply don't care. They've made everyone gambling addicts via UT.  As soon as UT became the main thing, everything else went out the window. Good, bad or indifferent gameplay, it doesn't matter as they know/knew people would still buy the games as they're hooked on buying packs. 

Im tired of getting tackles with my defenders and either the attacker continues unfazed or now is in even better position to score. 

Im tired of getting tackles that fall directly at the feet of another attacker.

Im tired of breaking down these spammy ratty players this game breeds only for them to come from 10 yards behind me and tackle me between the time I press circle to shoot and actually shoot.

Im tired of my offensive AI doing unexplainable dumb things like my ST dropping back in building up even though he should be getting in behind according to instructions. 

Im tired of my back line in spite of my instructions to step up BACK away from a single attacker in my box to go stand and mark GRASS.

Im tired of having a back line let people onside because someone is backtracking for NO reason.

Im tired of having a back line open up passing lanes and not getting easy interceptions regardless of their instructions. 

I’m tired of using a shield ball mechanic with a big strong player and getting knocked off the ball or tripped up when not moving by a player half his size running full speed at my back.

I’m tired of all my players regardless of stats moving like they’re on ice even when not using turbo so it’s impossible to deal with turn merchants without bringing a second player.

Im tired of these poor skill-less players who are only good at manual switching and spamming circle. Beating one getting swarmed, pass the ball, getting swarmed, switch play, getting swarm, beat the swarm, getting swarm AND somehow through all of this still be holding their shape and marking my passing options tightly.

im tired of my skill moves and passes being delayed bc the game mechanics are going to force me to concede a tackle.

Im tired of finally picking these sweaty rats apart with a nice lobbed ball only for them to full sprint from 20 yards away and spam circle around me before I can take my first touch because the touches are terrible regardless of how high the characters ball control or volley stat is.

Im tired of people spinning around outside the box and whipping in a finesse shot or trivela just bc they have the play style+. 

Im tired of being in the right position, pressing the right button, and not getting deflections or interceptions. Even when I do getting a deflection it will ironically either land at another attackers foot in stride or go out of bounds 90% of the time.

Im really just tired of this game man and hoping EA Sports drops a tuning update immediately. Can we go back to the days where the game took some skill to be good ?  I’m tired of playing guys who just aren’t that good, but I coincidentally have those issues above. I didn’t buy in to DDA/Scripting/Handicap idea too much but the way some of these things happen and when they happen, it’s hard for me to believe EA sports is really committed to “Fair Play”.

Perks were a cover for what every one already knew was programmed in to the game.  Not they call it playstyles+
