Gameplay issues that have not been resolved after patches:

1. Unrealistic CPU AI high pressing. Slow defense cannot withstand that pressure. The defender's positioning is generally terrible. It’s almost impossible to play a clean sheet match.

2. Almost every CPU AI player dribble like George Best, Pele and Maradona. This is getting ridiculous.

3.  Instead of committing fouls, the CPU AI lets my attackers to enter the penalty area and score. The aggressiveness of the defensive players should be significantly increased. 

4. On the opposite side, user cannot commit fouls because the the CPU AI is too skilled at ball possession.

5. The support of CDM players is weak, they are very slow in getting back to help their defenders when the CPU AI counterattacks. Their man-marking is very poor.

6. Even when the shooting error is increased (80 – 99), most of the shots still are on the target. Look at the statistics in reality (10/3, 12/4... instead of 19/16, 23/19 as in FC 26 ). Please, reduce the accuracy of shots as well as pointless goal-kicking.

7. Sometimes goalkeepers are the best rated players of the match, even when they concede 2-3 goals.

I'm sure there are more gameplay problems, but these are perhaps the biggest. If you only increased the intelligence of the defenses, this game would be finally enjoyable.

    You've got everything spot on. The lack of tackling by the opposition AI is abysmal. Like they just stand and watch. Tired of scoring 6 goals past Nottingham forest and then you get one competitive game when u play a top 5 star team

    This is the reason I turned off Authentic features. I play 10 min. halftime, before patches the shooting statistics were great, the results are low and realistic, but now the results are 4-2, 3-5, etc... I don't even know if these are Authentic features because it's seems like an addition to Competitive gameplay. They should have just boost up the defenses, not repeated the mistakes from FC 25.

    Hey EA, ever going to address this issue? I'd love to see one slide tackle being done by the opposition AI.

    CPU defenders are robots...never being late with their tackles and never trying sliding tackles either. They just play the passing lanes and either completely are spot on with their tackles or miss them entirely opening up oppurturnities for attackers to dribble past them with ease. 

    The AI feels broken this year, on offense and defense...atleast if you play offline vs CPU. Online might be more bareable. Never have I been frustrated every play session and never have I tried make this game work for me any harder than this year. No slider adjustments or controller settings make this game enjoyable vs AI. Guess I'll just go back to 25 instead of having a bad time on FC 26.
