@StuBoy1984 Bro, play Rocket League, far better game, more competitive than this garbage , no reason to play EA FC 24 , everything doesn't work, what u mentioned plus opponent AI closes all passing opportunities , no definitely no skill needed , I tested it some years ago, buy fifa points and packs with it , everything works fine for a few matches , then permanently on the weak side of the field again, nothing works , players unresponsive, u press sprint on defense the player u controlled synchronizes with opponent's run with the ball putting u in a position u can't tackle or hit the opponent instead , your controlled players are delayed in defense and in attack as well, the opponent's ai will pratically teleport in front of your running player giving the opponent an easy opportunity to take the ball back, whatever u do gets anticipated by opponent's AI, I'm not even satisfied when winning cause the game is obviously unbalanced , often gks move off position giving u an easy goal , the number of mechanics in this game that are completely wrong is very high, look on youtube, there are videos listing many of them but not all cause the list is much longer .
