Attacking AI is awful this year. No matter the formation or roles you're giving your players, it comes out to the same thing. Wide open spaces in the midfield. No available triangles for the give-and-go. Player locks are litteraly your only option. Just lackluster petty programming from ea developers that makes you wonder if this game was even tested before release.
Defensive AI has been an issue for years now. The problem is that you can't press enough with the right bumper to get the ball off your opponent which basically leaves you no option but to manually defend. When you do that your AI defenders that you have no control over will literally let your opponents player walk right in without contesting or challenging the play which can lead to really high scoring games on both ends if you know how to exploit those tactics.
