AI man marking and tracking runs
Attackers tackling like prime Maldini

Not one ounce of fun to be found

What about AI man marking and tracking runs?

#

Are you saying it's completely terrible?

#

If so then I 100% agree

It's completely terrible in the sense that it does everything for the player automatically. Auto block from defenders that aren't even being controlled. Auto run tracking. Auto tackles even. You can literally put the controller down and wait for the AI to win the ball for you. No need to defend manually, I'll just tackle through the back of them with my Yamal while my AI stops their attack. People use the term 'worst Fifa ever' too much, but I've played every version of this game for a long time, I'm a rank 1 to 3 player. But I can confidently say, this is without question, the worst eafc/Fifa of all time. It's not even worth playing right now.

EA does this on purpose. They must have a reason for doing it, even though they know it's the thing people hate the most. Everything is under AI control. We used to use cutbacks. We used to play set plays. I posted a match on YT. Get the link here and watch. It's impossible to find space in the penalty area and shoot.

I try everything, but it just doesn't work. I was an elite division player, and when I can't attack these players, I get angry and can't defend. It's a constant game of conceding goals from counterattacks. It's impossible to keep up with the AI's very fast pace. Even attacking players are making tackles like defenses. Auto tackles, running around. It's sickening.

Yeah that's the problem. Horrendous gameplay. The game punishes the player that tries to win the ball back manually, it punishes the player who tries to attack. I don't understand how EA think this is acceptable.

My defenders just ball watch and let the opposition play right around them even if I tell them to man mark

I'll never resort to CDM/AI defending unless I'm literally in a situation where the pace/tempo of the game is currently too fast and I don't want to throw my players out of position or if I can't switch in time (like for example the opposition pings around like 4 passes first time and now the balls out wide but he's in a area where if I switch he can play a pass past my CDM or he could take off in a direction as soon as I switch basically allowing him to beat my defender) so really only if it's too fast of a situation for me to be able to switch affectively without being beat but if they slow down the play enough for me to have time to switch then I will.

And only promotes AI defending further

#

I've literally been sending feedback to buff man marking and the AI's defensive awareness to help improve a players ability to win the ball one on one manually but they decided to nerf it

It’s not just park the bus, for me the Ai is playing fcking haramball they have both strikes coming back to their side the second I get the ball and try to make runs! And as y’all have already said they Ai tracks the runs way to good and the good luck finding space in the box😂

At least for me anyway

#

I'll have 3 center backs just jogging with their thumbs up their butts while the opposition striker, midfielder, or winger on the opposite side is making a run right by them

#

On counter attacks

#

And in general

#

I'm constantly spamming man marking just to get them to defend

#

While I obviously do all the closing down, pressing (for the most part), and one on one defending (as often as I can)

#

defenders don’t defend they just run

#

Im trying and trying to man mark but the cpu just ping pong passes between them with no errors
