AI on SB

hello

sorry in advance for spell errors, bad english and so on.

I would like to use the "how to give effective feedback" suggestion a try. I have tried the "the AI is broken oneliner" earlier but to no avail. And now we need to play the SBs on world class, yay, im happy.

So here is my go:

What information do we need?

In order to provide the development team with actionable feedback, please follow these guidelines:

Structure your post as clear and detailed as possible. Stating that “the game is broken” or other one-liners aren't beneficial.

MAIN PROBLEM:

I think you should work on making the AI better in this game, here are some of the problems:

1. it is extremely repetive, grindy, difficult and boring. The AI use allmost allways short passes, you cannot tackle, block off, take the ball of AI player. They anticipate your every move reacting to pushing a button or moving the stick before my own player reacts. They allways runs with enough speed away from you in a perfect angle, and my defence is all over the place.
2. when trying to chose another player you will in 90 % of time get the worst placed one. when defending this is unrealistic, boring, repetative and so on. I try to counter this with calling and extra player for help and then chosing new player, you will then in most cases get the correct one, but then you most likely are severly out of position.
3. It does not matter if they have bronze and I have Icons on world class. You know when you start a match that you will have a hard boring game. Its allmost as it is scripted? see also point 4.
4. There is also the problem with needing 500 shots, and somehow you allways misses? just outside again, but it was a good try, the keeper saves again and its nr 40? and then they need 1 shot from 5000 yards, and it goes in. Splendid... fun also.... No its a grind. and its so boring.
5. I also get tackled by my own players, the AI takes 2 of my players, runs into me and the oposition takes over. It does not happen often but it happens. My players should support my team, not the AI one.
6. the player somehow pass to opposition and not in the direction im trying to pass. The opposition player runs into receiveing position on field before I make the pass but after I have pushed the button? Some of these situations are quite hillarious because in a real game some of their moves would have allmost surely resulted in a goal as they run out of their position. But since im locked to pushing the button and before my player reacts the order pushing that button do, their player runs into the "correct" position. And you loose the ball. Just have another go, yay (see point 1 and 2).
7. I get attacked, and try to make a defencive line to stop the attack, then one of my defenders runs back to make room and break the offside making it one on one against one of their players? not once, or twice.... but the whole game?
8. My defenders try to run out of the way of the attacker? (se also point 7, 1 and 2)
9. My attackers does not try to attack, but stay back as much as possible even though I have clearly stated in my tactics that I want to to try to break the line of defence, with high pressure?
10. I cannot run in behind because the AI have somehow forseen it before my player reacts to me when pushing a run order? I allways have to make a run order?

I could go on. You know all of this, it has been told before. This fc is the worst by far. FC 23,24, and to some extent 25 was fun on SB. I could win on world class up to mid 80s oposition. Now I cannot take on a 70 rated team. So I hope i was clear enough, it is something that has been said many times on this forum with lots of one liners. My think is that the SB is a grindy boring mode, and on top of that: now you have put out challenges were you have to play on world class? why not just professional? its hard enough for the causual player.

Include your platform and game mode whenever appropriate. You can also use the tagging feature for that.

I play the game on a ps5 (not pro or slim). This post is about the game mode ultimate team and the squad battles. They are to boring, difficult, scripted, grindy on higher levels (for me high proffesional and world class) The AI is to boring, scripted, difficult and grindy. Hope that was both clear and appropriate.

Use the search function to check if a related thread already exists, you can simply post there or like the original post, if you agree with it.

I think you have had many posts about this but not done enough. Therefore Im using the "this is how to give feedback" option with a new post. I dont bother to go and read others peoples frustrations, you does not seem to do it either, so why should I?

Create separate posts for each of your feedback points instead of 1 huge all encompassing thread. This helps us for tracking purposes and that discussions stay on a single topic.

oh no, I hope i dont have to. I put numbers on the issues, but its largly about SB, and broken AI, and grindy boring play. But it all connects to the broken AI one liner many have told you about before.

Any additional screenshots or video clips showcasing examples are always appreciated.

I dont bother with this, as a lot of people making the same feedback should be enough.

"Thanks for all your passion and commitment to FC! We truly appreciate your time, energy, and ideas. This forum is always an open space where you can share your thoughts and feelings about every aspect of the game."

Youre welcome. I hope my feedback is appreciated. I want the game to be fun, it is not. I have little hope that it will get any better soon. Sorry in advance for the somewhat sarcastic tone, but two games in tonite both ended the same way (both ingame litteraly as told above, and result) with another boring grindy loss. Now Im off to give it another go, yay.
