Defending in this game

It's impossible

I wish I could capture some of this absolute nonsense.

The CPU's only counter tactic to a decent defence is to score ridiculous long range shots with any player, and the game is so badly scripted to help the CPU score these in injury time. It's nigh on impossible to hold onto a lead. Every goal I concede is either a penalty, free kick or some nonsense from a corner - failing that any old player will score a ludicrous 30 yard volley.

Meanwhile, my players never score goals of this type and miss every open goal and one on one.

It's clearly scripted in the CPU's favour because the programmers don't have the talent to write a fair game engine.

Players cant even control the ball with their chest. If a defenders alone receiving a high ball, he won't control it - he'll header it straight to the nearest opponent. If it's going out for a goal kick, he'll desperately clear it to the opponent's winger. With 'fewer risks taken' enabled, they'll ignore the simple pass and just punt it 20 yards to an opponent.

The games are far too action packed, there's far too many clear cut chances in a match and there'll never be a successful defensive tactic.

Just high pressing get stuck in much higher lines higher tempo etc zzzzzzz

Roll some heads this is getting old
