Hello everyone,

I want to hear your opinions about the defensive AI in the game. As an Elite division player, I can honestly say that the current defensive AI makes the game much less enjoyable for me and many others. When opponents rely heavily on AI defending, it removes a lot of the skill and individuality from the gameplay, and it forces everyone into playing the same style.

When the first version of the FC game was released, the gameplay felt much more enjoyable and balanced. However, with each update it feels like the defensive AI becomes stronger and stronger. Because of that, matches start to feel repetitive, with very limited ways to attack or play creatively.

In real football there are many different styles of play, but currently the game often feels restricted to only one effective style.

In my opinion, there should be an update that either reduces the effectiveness of defensive AI, or at least brings the gameplay closer to how it felt when the game first launched.

Relying heavily on AI defending should not replace player skill. To improve the balance of the game, I think there are two possible solutions:

  1. Reduce the strength of the defensive AI.

or

  1. Improve attacking AI to create better balance in matches.

What do you think? Do you agree or disagree?

If I wanted to play ai I would play squad battles not rivals or champs. It just ruins the whole game imo

Nothing in this game would work properly unless this braindead gameplay team is changed, period.

The playstyles definitely have a massive impact on the ai behaviour

They need removing completely, someone who has a stat of 95 interceptions should be able to intercept the ball more effectively than someone with 80 who has a playstyle. Every player from midfield back now has intercept, they all position themselves perfectly to intercept any pass that has even a small percentage of danger attached, the game is a disaster once again, the playstyle project didn’t work

The rb pressing needs to be removed or at least massively nerfed to the point where the cpu controlled press can not make any attempt to win the ball or intercept the ball

Everything is ai, there’s no skill in this game anymore

It’s mostly bruiser plus for me… I can’t remember the last time players actually manually tackle… theirs no risk in tackling, it’s just bruiser plus soon as you break them

#

If bruiser wasn’t strong the game would play SO MUCH DIFFERENT. The problem currently is you can’t get 2 feet to a player otherwise it’s an instant delay on your player that allows them to bruiser you. The reason why the game played better in the beginning of this game was because bruiser plus wasn’t as strong… what is the coincidence of that

Imagine with me

I know 3 players and thus in fc24 he almost reach division 4 but guess what now ? He reach divison 1 because ai defensive help them so much

#

I’m not envious at all. I’m a professional player and I was at the top within the top of 250 players in fc24 and 25, but all I can reach is the elite. I can’t enter the top because I’m tired of only one style of playing, which is to put the signal on a player and make the team try to cut the ball without any effort from me.

We shouldn't buy it again until there's realistic and fluid gameplay like FIFA 17. Otherwise, they'll never change.

Guys, if you want to play right now, the current meta forces you to keep the ball as long as possible. The reality is that there is almost no chance to score by passing or shooting inside the box.

Why is this happening?
That’s a good question.

Imagine this with me:

If your opponent is playing something like a 4-1-1, you can easily find 6 players inside the box. Add the wingers dropping back, and suddenly you are facing 8 players defending inside the box.

Now ask yourself:
How are you supposed to pass or shoot in that situation?

The answer: There is almost no chance.

Let me explain what I keep seeing:

You have 8 defenders inside the box, supported by AI movement and AI defending. Your team tries to find spaces to pass, but the moment you attempt a pass, what happens?

The ball gets intercepted instantly.

And the strange part?
The interception often comes from a player the opponent is not even controlling.

This is why casual players and pro players alike are frustrated with AI defending.

I reviewed and analyzed my own gameplay recordings after reaching Elite Division, and these are the patterns I noticed:

  1. AI defenders intercept passes without the player switching to them.
  2. AI defenders track runs perfectly almost every single time.
  3. The AI seems to read your inputs (X passes or Square crosses/shots).
  4. When you try to pass to your striker, the AI automatically positions a defender behind him to intercept.
  5. But if you try to defend manually, your opponent often finds space and scores.

So let me ask you:

Is this really competitive gameplay?

Because right now, it feels like the AI decides who wins the match more than the players do.
