Patch This Game ASAP!
I'm about to go on a tirade about a couple of things. I won't swear, I won't personally attack anyone despite that this was probably still get deleted.
Last year's game was lit up, not only in these forums but various other platforms for the various problems that plagued it such as passing, A.I. defending, attacking A.I. etc.
In the marketing this year you did say you would address these issues yet you haven't & you won't either.
This game is already worse than last years game:
*** Attackers don't move, don't follow the play, stand still, glide offside, don't provide support, get completely marked out with crosses, corners, through balls, get outran despite having 20+ pace difference, it's like this every single game. To the point where nearly every game there's only 1 primary way of scoring: Through some sort of defensive press whether it's an A.I. interception high up the pitch, an attacker sprinting full speed into you which causes your defenders to completely freeze on the spot as the ball bobbles past them. This morning I'm playing out multiple 0-0, 1-0 type games because NOBODY CAN CREATE OPPORTUNITES. The defense less then 2 weeks into the game play like TOTY players whilst attackers, midfielders stand around all game.
**** Not having any sort of recovery time on mistimed tackles, not having some form of inertia when they over run a tackle, not having a proper stamina system destroys the tactical side of the game. These defenders seem to be able to burst instantly off the line at full speed and stop everything you attempt. They barely lose any momentum when missing tackles too. And even if they do the defensive A.I. will sprint in out of nowhere and win the ball back for my opponent.
**** Dribbling is too slow, ball recovery time is too slow, players who supposedly have high agility are too slow at picking the ball up and moving forward to begin an attacking phase. These defenders because of the low recovery time on missed tackles will just instantly sprint back and regain possession with a tackle from behind. Not even defenders, attackers with low defensive stats are to able to do this. I'm EVO'ing up Brugts from Barcelona, she has 27 Defending and was out muscling, tackling my opponents attackers yesterday.
**** Long through balls once again need to be nerfed. Why is short passing so cumber sum in this game but hitting some hail mary 40 yard ground pass from the edge of your box onto an attacker is much easier. It just makes no sense.
**** GK movement is completely frustrating when combined with these low block, auto-blocking A.I. defenses that you come up against EVERY SINGLE GAME.
**** Ultimately being about to copy and paste generic pro-tactics have made this game a brutal slog as now everyone just plays the same way! There's no individuality.
The attack in this game desperately needs to be addressed, as does A.I. defending & passing.
I want to mention a few bugs I've noticed too:
***** When opening a pack with a loan player, If you pick the loan then to try to search the price of a random player, it will glitch and show some other players price. The cards will swap, so you think you'll be discarding say 2 informs, you'll discard them & check your club, 1 will be discarded the other will be there and the loan had been discarded. Despite in the player grouping the loan not being put into the discard section.
***** Can you fix the clashing kits. Every time I choose a black or a white kit I end matching against a clashing kit. I know I can choose myself, however sometimes you forget and you get punished for it.
***** The duplicate storage is glitched. I have Muriel & Werner dupes. I add them to an SBC, Submit and get kicked out the game. Try to discard them. Get kicked out the game.
This is all.
