What should be happening instead? Erling Haaland don't shoot in front of the arc.
I'm not sure for the other league, but surely in Premier League, Erling Haaland, who's playing for Man City, don't shoot in front of the arc. Just watching the ball and standing like a idiot. Well, it might be good for my team in a way, but it's not fun.
And I have a suggestion too.
I have been playing since the FIFA 2000 series, and I have always had significant complaints about player switching in games not changing to the player I want. However, in this latest series, I discovered for the first time that player switching can be customized, and I had high expectations for how much it could satisfy me. I tried playing with various settings, but none of them satisfied me. Especially, changing players with the right stick is not accurate at all when players are crowded in a defensive situation, and changing with the player change key also switches to a different player, not the one I want. As a result, the changed player does not move to a position to block the ball and always creates a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper and the opponent's striker. Every time this happens, I wish I could change players with my sight, but I think it's a bit more futuristic and have thought a lot about what the best method is for now. If a quick patch is difficult, I suggest trying the following method in the next series.
In football, defenders basically exist on the line drawn between the ball and the goal(center) to set up a defensive position. When I press the player change key, I found that the player I want to change to is usually closer to this line than to the ball. Therefore, the player should change based on this line.
But If the player changes based on this line, the problem is how to choose a player when two players are close to the line (usually there cannot be more than two). For example, let's say the camera setting is Co-op and I have a 4-back, and the right side is my area. An opponent striker is dribbling towards the center back in the middle. Here, if I want to choose the right center back (the center back above on the screen in the example setting) to block it, I press the player change key while making the left stick direction down (or you can make the left stick direction down after pressing the player change key). But what if the left center back is closer to the aforementioned line? If the left center back is selected while I am making the left stick direction down, the distance between the center backs widens, and even my next door kid can create a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper. To solve this, I think the player to be changed should be selected based on the direction of the left stick. It's complicated because it's the opposite direction, but isn't that what a game developer is supposed to do?
With the FIFA license disappearing and doubts arising about whether to continue this game, there is no development. In the future, AI will be further introduced, and in career mode, my play will be learned through machine learning by AI, so the more I play, the more it becomes the play I want, and the fact that players have different football intelligence will also be a setting, but if such a chronic problem cannot be solved, I wonder if it is right for me to continue investing a lot of money in such a game.
I hope you will deeply consider this suggestion.
Thank you for reading my long letter.
