Tactics and AI

[subtle sable]

I think the defensive approaches are too overpowered. Using aggressive and deep have an almost unmanageable amount of AI assistance compared to when using just high or balanced.

I don't see why everyone can't be forced to play balanced and only change the line height and not how the AI reacts or positions themselves, we have the player roles for that.

Saying that, I also feel as if the counter approach for build up applies a certain impetus on the players that makes it more difficult for the player on defense to react to the speed at which the build up is happening.

I think this tactical system is horrible and shouldn't return for the next installment.

Also, when playing both fullbacks on defend, the AI should only put one of them in the box at a time. Reducing the amount of congestion players are able to create in the box without actually controlling those players.

The defending has been nerfed to the ground. Please make defending equally powerful compared to attackers.

Game has just become an unrealistic goal fest for skill and pace abusers as defending has been severely nerfed

Manual defending has been nerfed. There's still lots of instances and tactics that have more AI support than others.

Stand tackles, physical challenges and jockey speed need to be improved for manual defending only.

The different defensive and build up approaches are what need to be looked at and better balanced.

The fix to kick off is also absolutely lazy. They're still possible due to the speed, attackers can be sent through your team however now your defenders just drop back rather than respond accordingly to the attackers movements.

This update hasn't done much except make the game feel more like fc25. Very glad my trials lasted long enough to play this update before I actually bought the game.

This AI defending crap is the dumbest defensive mechanic ever, idk what it's but just to defend better you simply have to run around with CMs/CDMs and that's it, I get intercepted by players people are not controlling no matter how hard I try to break people down in the back.

And that Kickoff patch made kickoffs even worse

EA is clueless.

Bro consider attacking without ai once where you control 6 players at once.

You just want defending to be nerfed and attacking to be overpowered to aid you in your way of play

First attack without ai and control all players at once and then ask for defense without AI
