Press, press, press, press……..

I agree with all you're saying, the press is unbearable and 90% of the time you'll lose not because they are good but because the Ai are instantly on your player and intercepts it or instantly tackles you. Even if you do get the ball because of these tactics they seem stronger than your players and as will some how come out with the ball. When they come out with the ball they'll out pace your def even if yours are faster than their player and most of the time score as your def does not constantly get back to make 10 blocks in a row. The thing is you can accept it  in short spells if when it happens the energy bars go down quite fast, but it don't at the end of the match most of the time they have over half a bar of energy with pressing a whole matc. If you message and say why use these broken stuff they say they don't and are on balanced and offer to send screen shots of tactics ( which you no  aint right because they are less aggressive than your own). they'll also just say your bad but not in those terms. when I got the game it was supposed to be the most passing  build up game with explosive brakes now and then . All opposition I play barley make 80 passes a match you can't build up because of this press and there is no fun in the game. Oh and because I do my defending not like the ones doing the pressing game, I get so many fouls yellows and reds yet because their ai is tackling for them and it looks 10 times worse than your fouls/tackles they barley give away a free kick. EA need to balance this out  for the next one , so you have to do some defending yourself and you can press hard for short periods  but see your energy bar take a significant hit and not press the whole match , I think that's how it worked in they beta of this one ? Also take out half the crappy animations as they do nothing for the game other than frustrate you.
