Anyone found any good slider settings against the AI? Been trying to do a career with a created club but I’m at my wit’s end.
Regardless of team, the AI are phenomenally press resistant and barely ever make a mistake. If they do it’s an unrealistic unforced error, but press them to within an inch of their lives and they’ll ping pong that ball through you like prime Barcelona.
You can’t ‘fool’ the AI either because they read your button inputs. Want to dummy the ball through your legs? They’re already standing there to block. They never attempt to make a tackle and get tricked by it. Running one on one against a player it mostly feels like if you go one way, they’ve already moved there. And if you went the other way they’d have blocked that too. Every passing lane is perfectly cut out at all times and every pass they make is exact and exploits every bit of space you leave. It’s never over hit. There’s never a long ball headed on to nobody, or a cross that’s too heavy which evades everyone. Every shot I take from any distance is blocked by a defender who just stands in the path of it. When you counter attack they always have four defenders in a line. Nobody is ever out of position after being caught upfield. If their defenders get even close to you it’s basically an auto-tackle. It’s always so perfect.
And this is being done by teams like Preston North End. I win the games no problem but it’s just shit to play. You learn what works and just score goals that way, which sucks any creativity out of the player. Are there any slider settings that can make up for such blatant neglect in this area of the game?
