Yeah, overall the gameplay is enjoyable, but the turn dribble thing and AI just watching players run past them is quite irritating. I feel my cortisol levels go through the roof playing in Division 7 (Not played a ton so far, mainly spent my time unlocking transfers and playing seasons) let alone how stressful champs must be with this absent defending.
