Difficulty: Legendary
Game mode: Authentic/Custom
AI gameplay issues breaking immersion of a real life football match (this was perfect before the update)
- Opposition AI doesn't tackle or challenge you. I've tried many combinations, favoring AI with sprint speed, acceleration, tackle aggression but the AI lets my players breeze through with ease.
This is especially easy at the wings where fullbacks do not tackle my players at all. - The attackers - strikers, wingers no longer come back when defending. They're glued at the front line, like they're about to make a run, which is pointless when you're defending.
I'm not sure why this part of the gameplay was changed. - Attacking AI is not "less smart" now. Before the update, the AI was one of the smartest I had seen. I went through a whole season of career mode with AI being smart and unpredictable.
This update feels a HUGE punch to the gut for people who had been enjoying the game for realism.
I'm so disappointed that it has been taken away from us.
