FIFA is such a frustrating game and it's all down to the AI. Like the rest of you I have bouts of great form followed by tragic form and it is all down to the AI. Quite simply the form should be dictated by the player (ie. my ability, my form) and not the software.
Tonight I have experienced my players being vastly outpaced by slower players, tackling being as good as pointless, passes going in the wrong direction, players unable to control basic passes then being disposessed, then a penalty and red card after the software kindly took a lunge at a striker inside my box. Whilst in this particular state of AI my strikers consistently hit the woodwork (on the rare occasion they actually shot as opposed to waiting for a second to issue my commands and getting disposessed), whilst my opponent had only a couple of efforts from ridiculous situations that rifled into the top corner to snatch the win.
This all sounds pretty childish to complain about in one sense, but I just want a good game, win or lose, with fairness and consistency of gameplay at the core.
Gaming should be a thing of enjoyment and not frustration. My ability should dictate my form, not the software. I came on this forum to find out what I was doing wrong, but it seems I am not alone with my sentiments about this game.
I just hope somebody from EA sees this thread and pays attention to the issues.
