Defending: Absolute horror show. Be in my CB thinking he's a CM, my "low attacking" workrate RB being further up the pitch than my RW or the fact I may as well be playing pinball rather than tackling as it's bounce back after bounce back. Can have 3 of my own players vs 1 opponent and still end up without the ball.
Passing. The fact it still remains absolutely boggles my mind, is the fact you'll play a pass to one of your players, you'll be trying to control them to come towards the ball (can see the direction cursor showing I'm commanding them towards the ball) and they'll just stand there. Like they've become a statue or crapped their pants. Of course, this allows the opposition defender who was 10 yards behind them to make the tackle 🙄
Ball control/dribbling. So, so, so delayed. Also, ball control stat is fake. I've seen multiple times my 116 Bale take 4 touches to get a ball under control during the start of a VSA match. So the pass that's come from the AI is either too hard or that stat is nonsense. It's not like I've pinged a low driven pass into him from 2 yards away.
Talking of passing power, what's that meter actually for? I've done a full power through ball only for it to roll slow as a snail towards a player that's not my intended target. Also through ball button registers as a shot, that's still an issue.
Finesse shots, not sure what's been done on the update, but these are garbage now. Get near the corner of the box, hit a orange/red powered finesse shot and it glides gracefully into the keepers hands. Has zero venom/power to it.
I've touched on it briefly, but workrates mean nothing. My M att H def CDM will bomb forward and be ahead of my CM and CAM alot of the time, why?
