Patch the defensiv AI.

[agile violet]

playing up against a player who only uses cpu and doesnt select any players are so horrible to play against. most 99% of the time you even loose against them even tho you deserve the win. it feels like your not playing against a real player but a cpu on ultimate difficulty

[craggy patrol]

Gameplay producer said in the last live direct that they don't want to nerf the AI because someone should be able to play like that if they choose to.

Watch the 1.2.0 direct on twitch at about 25 minutes in.

[crude wren]

Thats absolutely disgusting. Why buy a video game with a controller if u want the ai to play for you. This company is atrocious

[ancient mango]

Atrocious company

Just awful

They don't care ab their core players

[craggy patrol]

I really don't get it. There can't actually be anyone who enjoys "playing" the game like this. It's mind numbing.

[young gorge]

no way they said that 💀

we wont forgot pre patch fc 26 man

its genuinely hard to mess a game up this much

[uneven ingot]

AI-controlled automatic defense shouldn't exist. I quit FIFA because of it, but many others came back because it was nerfed in FC 26. Now it defends as well as the pros... it's not right. People need to learn to defend on their own. I never use the AI ​​defense, and it's perfectly doable... EA is losing a lot of players because of this AI-controlled defense.

I stopped playing 8 years ago, and if they don't nerf the AI, we'll leave as quickly as we came back, like 80% of the community.

We sit here in anticipation of the next update when all they have to do is just revert everything they did and start over. I would much rather play the game in the state it came out in over what we're expected to play now.

[lunar portal]

These donkeys keep accommodating noobs with no football IQ and that's why AI defending and AI second press exist.

I'm from a German-speaking country, but my English should be good enough to understand this.

Please listen carefully!

From minute 25-29.
The Gameplay Producer, says they want to work on it:
"how can we reduce the effectiveness of the AI ​​defense"!?

Do I understand the gameplay producer correctly?

Unfortunately he does say word for word

" some players were relying on the defending AI and not taking defensive risks to win the ball, this let's some of us or some players control their CM instead of switching to defenders and just waiting for them to win the ball back somewhat effortlessly. This change will not completely remove those behaviors if someone wants to play this way."

Now these changes also only effect the AI in the box, which is noticeable but nowhere near enough. There's a clip on X of a Bobby Charlton defending like Maldini. The clip was posted by a pro analyst/commentator.

[novel geyser]

Tanks for your answer.

Does this mean, specifically, that the AI ​​defense will remain in its current state?

[craggy patrol]

I sure hope not.

But it seems that way for now

when nerf for defensiv IA? its for casual, People need to defend themselves manually; stop the welfare state.

[novel geyser]

If EA does that, they need to strengthen manual defending.
It has to be worthwhile to defend manually. If I select a center-back, it's dangerous and in many cases I concede a goal.

Manual defending must be worthwhile!

[unique mist]

Yes, because ypu have a disability called below average motor skills. They don’t need to buff manual defending, what you are asking for is AI defending.
