Simply too many tackles.

Just like the title. There are way too many tackles going on.

And these tackles aren't like the reasonable, carefully considered decision, just random, thoughtless spamming.

This problem applies to all modes.

In Ultimate Team, (of course, not me) my opponents (human or AI) just overdo tackling.

Even when I'm 'sprinting' to the box, defenders just automatically do slide tackles even if it would evidently result in red cards.

So, this is the proudly advertised FC IQ, huh? Just tackles.

When I'm in the midfield, my opponents just throw slide tackles even though there is no time for them to execute those 'awesome' animations, even though there is no space for them to slide tackles, even though my players are yards away, or something else.

There are tackles after tackles.

Standing tackles too.

Too many of them. And it's not like the carefully executed, tactical tackles or challenges, they are all automatic.

All stats, physical, dribbling, pace, strength, balance, or whatever, don't matter.

When I'm simply in the vicinity of the defenders, the ball is just intercepted automatically.

But of course, not my players. My players, with drastically depleted stamina when only 20 minutes into the match, with the most sluggish, heavy movements, just stand and watch my opponents zoom past me like sloths.

All the same for career modes as well. This too-many-tackles problem takes away the fun of using good dribblers or utilizing passes.

No point in those when my opponents just throw tackles and charge at my players the moment my players receive the ball or change direction.

Regardless of the distance, space, time, angle, stats, or occasions. And I can't get away from tackles because this fantastic game doesn't allow me to move my players when I'm waiting for the ball or something.

I think I'm seriously done with this game.

I was already done with enjoying UT. I can't even enjoy playing career modes because I can't run and there are too many tackles.

I'm done.

    from the AI i understand. you know they just do some bot mathematics and boom they have the ball, without the slightest bit of reason or sense of realism to it.
