There won't be any response. They will keep making small changes to the gameplay ( I didn't use improvements 😂) and in two months they will launch another beta version with more improvement to the passing system. And this way they will keep us playing the game with them not actually doing anything. They won't do any changes to the gameplay because a lot of the people that put money into the game like to play with the AI controlling the defence. This way they take advantage of the meta cards they have in attack to win. That's why (I think) they didn't implemented the gameplay from the BETA version. Probably a lot of people complained. The issue with the high ping I saw it was somehow solved and is not affecting the gameplay that much. What I don't like, and why I keep complaining, is the way auto defending is influencing matches. I have an issue with not being able to pass in the final third, with defenders marking my players to tight and not being able to score a proper goal. Most of the goals are scored from deflected balls that jumps from players and from defenders leaving their positions. It's not normal to tackle a player five times in a row without him losing possession or to get into the box and have numerous shots on goal that are hitting the defenders or my strikers.
Another thing I don't like is how teams are boosted after scoring a goal. I have matches where I score in the first minutes of the game and not being able to get out of my own half till the end of the match.
Attacking/Defensive mode not only are not working but in some instances I think they do the opposite. If I try to play defensive in the firs minutes I get scored, allmost like a punishment.
Some players after scoring start to pass the ball in their own half which is fine. The problem is why my players not only they don't press but they retreat into my own half.
I am not sure how they do it, but some teams have the defenders closing next to my players straight after receiving the ball leaving me with no time to react. I think this is done by selecting auto defending and auto changing the players wich is not fair since the action is not actually done by the player.
This are some issues that I have and think affects the game.
In my opinion the biggest issue is the AUTO DEFENDING. Some of us might be better at defending, not all of us can have high rated cards in attack to dribble the defence.
All this issues are encouraging a gameplay based on long/direct balls onto the strikers. How about if I like to play on the flanks with crossings or with short passes?
And how can a lonely striker driblle or outrun a whole defence?
