Sorry i need to vent.
I've been a LONG time Fifa fan, playing every iteration for the past 21 years and i find it really sad that while i see advances in a LOT of areas of the game, others are archaic and borderline unfair. My fav. mode of play is what was once called Be-a-Pro mode, now Carrer mode. I love controlling a single player on the field as it brings forth a different kind of awareness as you have to think of positioning constantly and managing stamina. Thing is, the other 10/11 parts of your team are handled by AI. That's whats been pissing me off about the game lately. Granted, it drove me insane on 16 and 17 also... but now i'm coming to terms this will not be addressed since the focus seems to be on the FUT thing.
The way the game handles increasing difficulty is absurd. You see opposing teams trying for complex plays, playing defense like a real team, being patient and all. Your team mates on the other hand are COMPLETELY DEPENDENT on your actions to even function like a football team. They rarely intercept passes, they for sure NEVER steal a ball on a 1-1 scenario. If they recover a loosing ball on defense and detect the absolute minimal pressure from opponents, they just kick the ball outside. They suck on positioning and ball control on passes is also ridiculous. This is borderline unfair. As you increase difficulty, your team's AI gets WORSE... this is not how it should be.
Any Be-a-Pro fans out there? How do you cope with this BS?
