how stupid can this fifa game get! its still too easy to score a goal don't you agree????? in world class mode i beat the PC easy but it pisses me off that the ONLY way the PC opponents ever score a goal or two is by CHEATING! YES ITS TRUE. besides the fact that the only way the PC can take the ball from you is by knocking you to the ground without being givin a foul, i have had instances where the PC puts a magical force field around my player making it impossible to move i mean my guy just runs on the spot!! has this happned to anybody else?? usually when my man is running against the computer to pick up a loose ball. also i have noticed that if the computer wants to score it can score at will. i mean 360' spins and hurdles threw 4 or 5 players sometimes the only way to defend is by knocking the player down with a slide or shouldercharge. THIS ISNT SOCCER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont understand why this game got good reviews and praise from everyone. i hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

The computer cheats because it's easier for EA to get the computer to do that than work out proper AI schemes and work on non-scripted ball physics. They'll probably continue to do this because, hey, regardless of the players missing, or the useless 'AI' (and I use that term lightly), they still sell MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of copies.

Sad, but true.

I too noticed that the computer has its little bursts of ingenious play, but did you also notice that some games, it cant do anything at all? I just lost to the worst team in MLS 5-2, and then beat the best team 4-0, so it seems that it has its good games and bad, which is cool. But it always seems to kick my ass in the playoffs. Also, the 2shots 2goals 3 shots 3 goals is pissing me off. and when i press the attack button and my sweeper comes off his man to attack the defender at midfield, that sucks also. and when their forward spins and jumps and i slide right through him and he shoots right into the corner....it sucks sometimes but i play it at least 5 times a day so i really cant complain too much...
