Passing issues/glitches
The two biggest issues that I’ve faced so far have been with passing and with the efficacy and efficiency of tackling.
Currently, passing seems to regularly go directly to the opponents player, especially when it comes to through balls. Regardless of the angle that I aim the pass, if I attempt a through ball it will go directly to the opposing player. Even when that player is not in the direction my pass was aimed this will sometimes happen. The auto lock to the “passed to” player also creates many errors.
Frequently I will attempt to pass to a player, but the game will decide I was trying to pass to a player that does not make sense to receive a pass. The ball will go directly past the intended player, even between their legs, and to the incorrect player or more likely an opposition defender. This also takes effect when chasing down a loose ball. The game often automatically has me controlling a player that is not nearest to the ball, so the player who should be chasing the ball will not sprint. AI doesnt have to do the work, but players I’m not controlling should at least operate somewhat competently.
In addition to these passing issues, while dribbling in circles can very easily and unrealistically circumvent defenses. If you are anywhere near a player and they tackle, it seems to be effective. Tackles from all angles will be effective. I have not yet had a standing tackle against me result in a foul in over a week of playing. This is absurd and results in players spamming tackle. A game shouldn’t end with over 100 tackles attempted and zero fouls called
