One thing that is very present in football are duels in midfield trough physicality, competitive gameplay has none of them, not only online but even authentic suffer from it, the physicality feeling is almost inexistent making midfield count relatively.
Another thing lacking in authentic gameplay are fouls, it's insane that you rarely ever get a fool, that's because, again, physicality is underwhelming and AI always predict dribbles
I had to tweak out sliders to make the opponent more aggressive but even with that, I rarely get fouls as they keep predicting almost every move and even then they rarely resort to fouls, which is questionable.
Both competitive and authentic gameplay lack physicality and midfield importance, competitive due to its excessively fast nature, authentic does less but it's still underwhelming.
It would be nice to have an update in which AI actually doesn't predict every move of yours while still being balanced based on the situations (authentic gameplay) , resort to fouls and tactical fouls (they rarely do) and ofc, give a feeling of physicality during duels and contested balls on the midfield
Again, the feeling it gives is underwhelming, players feel slippery and soapy, you don't ever feel like your 90 strength players can outstrength other players with credible animations.
Apart from these things, the authentic gameplay is decent, certainly better than last year.
Please do consider to tweak the feeling of authentic gameplay regarding the described matters at least, thanks
Competitive also needs tweaking regarding that because it's all about agility and women are too op currently
