Okay, suddenly I have fouls and rash challenges being made using authentic mode in player career. Yes, I’ve been hacked down and zipped past a number of sliding challenges and wreckless standing tackles!! Played multiple fixtures and yes… fouls and more missed tackles.
what did I change….
i went into my career mode, reset all the gameplay related tabs back to default. Then made sure authentic was switched, made sure the sliders were set to authentic also. Then I flicked to custom sliders, upped the sprint speed to 44 (so it doesn’t cause slow players not to enter the sprint animation). I turned down tackle assistance for the cpu down to 1 (don’t worry they still make good tackles) and finally I went to the cpu ai tab and put this on dynamic.
suddenly the game has come alive. Tackles, fouls and more unpredictable moments. I’m playing world class and for me, it’s a good balance as matches are battles and score lines and the opposition seem to be just right.
i would encourage anyone to try this. I reckon doing a reset to default on all gameplay sliders and then running some small tweaks has done the job, maybe it will for anyone else struggling with this.
