The game is over…stuff ain’t being fixed

The game is on its last legs for this year, why hasn’t the fundamentals been fixed on this game. 

passing….sometimes a 30yard through ball in the wrong direction to who you pass it to is perfect, or it randomly passes in directions not asked. I have many players with 99 passing, yet it gives it straight to the oppo 8 times out of 10. Yet my player with 80 rated passing is near perfect every-time. And these are uncontested passes aswell. So many times the passes are not even the person you wanna pass to

switching players……so many times I ask for the switch using the button, not the stick it gives me the wrong person to the one you want that’s closest to the ball, 9 times out of 10 it gives me the player chasing the attacker, not the person n the prime spot to make a tackle, and you don’t get that player until the attacker has past them

AI……why does the AI for some people work so well and so bad for the other. The AI at times is so strong people don’t even need to use a player to defend for them. The AI appears to be proactive to the players stick movement before the controlling player makes the move on screen, the AI needs to be reactive after the player has moved

defending…..why is it at times my 96 rated defender makes the tackle, but bounces off of a player and falls over gifting goals, why does it take 4 tackles to get the ball, yet you allow running through a player to get the ball, you allow tackles from behind if the AI 100% of the time it seems. This need to be made realistic as every tackle from behind in real life is practically a foul. 

Running speed……I have a couple of 99 speed and 99 acceleration players, but they can’t appear to out run a granny using walking aids. Yet the other way around my 97 speed defender can’t keep up at all, over short or long distances. If EA wants to give 99 speed then nothing should be keeping up over a certain distance. 

delays to movement and passing/shooting etc…..I play my games on max 20 ping, normally in 8  I even have the current counter in game to check if it’s that, or I use both controllers to check lag. But so many times you press pass, but it don’t appear to register, or it’s waiting for the AI to get into position  so many times I move my stick and the player doesn’t move instantly, if I’m using bronze players I could understand  not cracked out 98 rested players etc  

You want this game to be a football simulator. But it’s so far from real football it’s a joke of a game only designed to bring in cash, you forget without a player base there is no game, EA are lucky there is no decent football games to challenge it.

  • Try manual offense for more control. They keep buffing offense and making passing easier and nerfing defense. I think it’s ruined the game. The only thing we can hope is they balance the game next year. Since Ibra is on the cover maybe slower players will be able to be used. If not you will see fullbacks back to centerback as there is no way 60 pace cbs will be able to keep up with the pace offense of 4231.

    I play for an hour at most, mainly play squad battles because at least you know where you stand with them. But against other people there is to many variables with AI that seems to favour other players all the time for me. I don’t know why when sometimes everything is near perfect, other times every deflection goes to the oppo, can’t pass 5 yards etc, the game is closer to a PVE with a random person thrown in. The AI can be so powerful it’s no longer a PVP
