it’s honestly insane how you pretend it’s “intended gameplay.” Your defensive logic is so broken it’s almost insulting. Players move in these stupid circular patterns, running into pressure from the completely wrong angles, and the game punishes you for trying to defend correctly. You know it! and you pretend not to, because you target a specific player base, who you know you will lose, if you actually made defensive ai correct.
You know you are making manual defending artificially harder and more assisted, so casual players, can score easy goals, while anyone who actually knows football gets punished. Its beyond lazy, its manipulative game design, and you keep doing it on purpose to target players, who either never touched a ball in their life, or never played at elite level. FC IQ is the most false, dishonest advertising ive ever seen, as it doesnt imitate anything close to real football intelligence.
How does the contain button make my defender run AWAY from the attacker or take the most braindead angle possible into pressure? How do defenders have this almost position like they are doing "squats" or pooped their pants? The positioning is WRONG. The angles are WRONG. The awareness is NON-EXISTENT. The animations are pathetic. And you’ve known this for YEARS.
I could go on about no inertia behind player physics, horrible nerfed ball physics, and how other of your mechanics doesnt reflect anything true about the sport, but i want to keep this about the most unfair aspect of the game - the defensive ai, which benefits the worse player.
