Wow, I came on here to find out if I was the only one feeling this way and you wrote everything I have been feeling. Especially when the games count towards your weekly rankings. It most definitely feels as though the AI does things (unfairly so) to gain a particular result. Like, I will be making pin point passes up the field and timing my runs well, but magically the last pass before getting in front of goal will go to the wrong teammate. Often. Or the fact that you will beat the defense with an incredible run or great pass behind the defense to an extremely talented and fast striker but a slower defender, you have had on your team previously, will gain speed they never had when you had them and consistently catch your player. How in the world do you beat that? You gain more talented players, adjust to the game, improve on your mistakes, make a great play, and the defense pulls off a miraculous play often. I out nothing past the gaming companies, couple months back Ubisoft forced a glitch in the Avatar game and as soon as soon as I made a formal complaint on their site…. Magically fixed after months of the game being stuck and attempting to charge money for an update. By the way, what is the point of icons and AI when you can tell I want players from Brazil but continue giving me ones I will never use? I get that the sbcs and market are part of the game but let your consumers eventually attain what they want and enjoy the game so they will purchase the next one… that would be a better use of AI.
