I know this has already been brought up... but I'd just like to know if anyone has seen the CPU attack wide/cross or knows if it is possible.

I can do it fine... It's just an AI flaw I guess. But if the CPU doesn't do this there is no way I'm buying this game. It's just too big a flaw.

Nope, haven't yet.
Got curious and watched a CPU vs CPU game for 5 minutes.
The ball only left the ground once on a clear OTB direct pass.

Everything is in the middle of the park.

not saying it is this , but might the AI (CPU) team have been pre-set with the possession tactic?

I found out today how to change the tactic of the team I control, and you have 3 to pick from possession, long ball and wing play might be one more I can't remember. I guess ( no expert ) that if the AI team you are playing against had a set tactic for the demo and it was possession then you might not see them use anything else during the game. I went from possession to wing play and all of a sudden as I came out of defence one of my team mates was outwide in my own half and I could play the ball to him , usually before I found this all my players were through the middle and the nearest kind of wide player would be one of my forwards about half way inside the other teams half. Now I don't know if that is the reason you or I don't the CPU team we play against go for the byeline and hit crosses in ... but it might be.

maybe...

I have seen few attacks by Milan made by crosses or deep balls, actually 45% of the time thats how they play, which is cool.

Ok the might pump a couple of long balls upfield...45% of the play is crossing? Why lie like that?
