Legendary mode is a big developer failure
The speed of the game exceeds human capability it feels faster than what the human brain can process, and even quicker than controller input can realistically respond to.
The AI makes extremely sharp, unnatural passes under pressure. When an AI player is surrounded, it can still execute precise, unrealistic angles that don’t reflect real gameplay behavior.
The AI seems to anticipate my actions before I even complete them. The moment I press a button before my player executes the command the AI has already reacted and countered it.
The AI effectively performs multiple actions simultaneously, as if it has access to all controls at once. While a human player must input commands sequentially, often sacrificing one action for another, the AI executes everything instantly without limitation.
The precision of the AI is unreal. It moves toward the ball flawlessly, making no mistakes, and uses its speed to win possession in nearly every situation.
Even when the ball is loose, the AI consistently reaches it first not due to player delay, but because it appears to take the most optimal path instantly, something not realistically achievable for human players.
I can provide countless more examples of behaviors that feel unrealistic and give the AI an unfair advantage.
It almost feels as though the purpose is to demonstrate superiority—to send the message: “I can beat you.” If that’s the case, then the underlying technology should evolve accordingly. The capabilities of controllers, GPUs, and CPUs need to match the demands of this level of gameplay.
This raises a fundamental question: are these difficulty levels designed for human players—or for machine-level intelligence?
