When is this AI nerf patch coming out? The game is unplayable garbage; every sodding match is the same: AI-controlled 10 defenders and counterattack. This is by far the worst version of FIFA and that takes some beating after the last few versions.
People moan about the ai defending but i don't blame people with how over the top and easy it is to dribble now by just holding rb.
The attacking and dribbling is as much an issue for me majority of goals are. Get to the edge of the box and hold rb or dribble backwards and forwards until a gap opens up. If they are nerfing defending, then they need to make manual defending better or going to end up with every game being double figures again.
They already tried to nerf dribbling and all the sweats started crying so they reversed the patch.
Instead of "competitive" and "authentic" modes, it should have been "sweat" and "causal" modes.
I just want a game that is difficult, but beatable. This feels nearly impossible on my preferred difficulty. The step up from professional to world class is too big. The biggest issue is the drop in AI teammates' intelligence. On professional, my players make intelligent runs on their own. On world class, they barely move if not triggered with L1. In addition, they run into the CB's back unless I flick the right stick. It's too difficult to manage player runs while avoiding nearly perfect CPU tackles.
It also doesn't help that they keep releasing better and better players in the store. I'm constantly getting wrecked by people with the latest "insert season theme" players and the latest meta Evos.
Community ManagerHi folks,
we've heard you and the team has been looking into further AI defending changes.
In the next update, AI defenders will have slower reaction times when marking the ball carrier, which can result in them leaving more space open while transitioning between actions.
Forgive me if I wait and see, EA have a history of lying to its customers.
