This is an issue affecting authentic gameplay, even with sliders, getting fouls is downright impossible, or just extremely rare.

I play 8 minutes halves with personalized sliders and the CPU tackle aggression slider doesn't work as intended, even at 99.

You barely get one or maybe two fouls if you're lucky, the CPU ALWAYS predict every single move even if its downright impossible to do so.

I didn't have this problem last year with the right sliders but now I do, the CPU just predicts EVERYTHING, this is something that makes a simulative experience so much worse because it makes so that free kicks aren't a thing, yellow and reds neither, and dribbling not a thing.

It is satisfying to get over an opponent with a skill and maybe get fouled afterwards and score from a free kick, this isn't something that happens as of now sadly

the tackle aggression slider should measure the willingness of the opponent's cpu to resort to a foul if necessary, but given the impossibility to get over an opponent they barely ever resort to that

Please fix it, it's highly requested and it's something that makes the experience worse for those who seek a better simulation

Not only dribbling, tackles, take-ons, duels, those are all things that can make for a foul yet they never happen in this game, the authentic experience should give us a simulative, more realistic experience but as of right now, without those things, it lacks a big part of what makes football an exciting sport

Either put another slider or rework something I don't know, not getting fouls shouldn't be a thing, CPU timing is way too perfect in every tackle, this isn't realistic at all, they should be error prone, and again

tactical fouls, fouls on take ons, duels, shoulder to shoulder, headers, pulls, being pushed should ALL be a thing if you intend to give the player an AUTHENTIC experience as publicized.

#

The last part is why I think, as said in another thread, that physicality isn't a thing
Or atleast something that you don't FEEL
Because physical duels often means getting fouled

Could you please patch it asap!!! For realistic games, we need fouls, free kicks, yellow and red cards! Not only flat games!!!!! IA NEVER DOING ANY FAULT!!!!!!

Doubt ab fouls but tackles will be fixed, it has already been said, with this update they'll fix tackles, Bruiser and block playstyle animations

If tackles are fixed we will have fouls for sure

I have some in 4 games in my career like 15 from IA and 2 yellows

So with the update it will work for sure

Tackles are better and bruiser works but AI rarely ever resort to that
I noticed sometimes, rarely, the cpu does a slide tackle, it's incredibly inconsistent so it's surely something that isn't working as intended

That isn't a problem with the correct sliders + full manual
Try Operation Sports sliders, if you feel the cpu is too passive go with 90-99 tackle aggression on cpu sliderd

I took plenty of games getting used to it but it's worth it imo because it's less telegraphed, you can make whatever trajectory

#

And ofc it's harder and forces U to play more realistic since u can't do mad Tiki taka

#

Unless you are really good, but that would just be deserved

#

Check Operation Sports forum for the sliders, if U wish I can link it trough dms

ripe plank Oct 11, 2025, 3:02 PM

Ohh that would be nice, thanks!

I gonna try full manual. But nevertheless I’d prefer a AI which is able to create chances and scoring goals. Legendary und Ultimate difficulty isn’t a challenge anymore, and that’s not how it should be

The Legend level in career manager mode is easier than in "Kick Off" mode.
The Legend and Ultimate levels in career manager mode are the same, and there is still no difficulty in the matches (PS: I play Fulham in career manager mode and I get scores of 8-0 (after the update)).
The game also lacks tackles, fouls, yellow cards, and red cards.
