Poor AI-intelligence

So I've tried my first EA FC ... and just as I - unfortunately - expected, it was nothing but "old wine in new bottles"; nice graphics and same ol' flaws. 

I am aware that it is not a football manager game, thus the absence of ... let's call it "tactical finesse", and I am aware that it is not a football simulation game but just a football  arcade game, thus the absymal defence structure, however ...

... I can for the life of me not understand why there isn't programmed a little more tactical finesse into the gameplay. Not speaking of more option tactically, but speaking about how Your AI-team mates disrupts Your game tactically. EA FC is about scoring goals, God forbid You played a 0-0 (I actually do not believe that it is possible in this game), so why haven't anyone thought about building in the option of build up play, more specifically ...

... why does my team mates not create space, outs and angles for me during build up from the back? All could be achieved if my team mates were programmed to take better (smarter) positions.

As mentiond, I've come to terms with the fact that EA FC is an arcade game, so I'm not even going to waste time asking about issues regarding playing defence.

Hope someone can provide a qualified answer, afterall it is a massively expensive game to purchase, so ... well, so since product is not living up to the price value, at least I hope the service level is ...
