Defender speed and dribbling against AI

[summer plinth]

Now, last time you addressed it you guys took the lazy route and said “oh it wasn’t the defender speed it was attacking animations” FIX THE DEFENDER SPEED AS SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY PLAYS YOUR GAME IT IS 100% THE DEFENDER SPEED, just level the defender speed, make it so an attacker and a defender with the same pace and agility attributes would be as fast as each other, it isn’t that hard is it? Another thing that’s strictly against AI, especially on career mode, it feels like you can’t do skill moves against the AI and you can’t express yourself in a sense. If you try to even dribble towards them they just swoop in and steal the ball it’s very annoying, other than that everything is amazing

Yea in cm it feels like they just can prevent anything, which isn't good because they never resort to fouls making the game immersion worse

I do agree the game isn't as bad as people think
It's just that most use assisted for anything
The authentic realistic gameplay full manual is well tuned and fun and at worse you can adjust the experience trough sliders but there's little things to tweak and other things not on the gameplay side
Hope they'll care enough to update the authentic gameplay regularly

No, a defender and attacker with the same pace should not run the same speed in game. The attacker has the ball at their feet, each touch slows them down. If you want to use an attacker’s full pace, you need to do a knock on (double tap R2, or hold R2 and flick the right stick in the desired direction). Just holding R2 with the ball at your feet does not use your player’s full pace.

Yea defenders don't need to be faster at all. Fidget spinning just needs to be nerfed into the ground.

The issue there lies in how slow jockey is, defenders can't keep up
We also lack a stats that would be crucial imo
And that is "speed without the ball"
