IG Semi Final v3.0 Feedback.
Buil up play is transfered more up to front, which is good, of course. I think you did great job with that. But... You see, problem with attacker being too defensively positioned is still here. I experimented with that problem a lot. I always attacked the AI player who have the ball with my CF, any every time I manually switched to another player, that CF will immediately return in the midfield as its being his natural position... and then again I end with one-two of my midfield players being at the front.
You get this kinda formation when AI have the ball:
__CMF
_CMF
__CF_CMF
__CMF
_CMF
LB
_CB
_CB
_RB
Also, this affect when you turn from defense to attack... It took too much for my CF to get up front where he need to be.
What amazes me is
pace and
strength. The difference between fast players is absolutely fantastic. Same for
strength. I once took a ball with Vučinić, and Fabregas was on his side, trying to push him over, and Vučinić is struggling but Fabregas simply cant push him over. But then Sanchez rammed in to Vučinić and took the ball XD... There are lots of examples I just took this particular one. Fantastic!
Weaker teams will play more long balls, which is good, and stronger teams will play more technically. BUT... Attack is still sterile and too much without idea. AI can play lots of short passes, but that's it... they will keep the ball and have 65 and more % of possession, but final performance is just passing. All that is good, but noneffective.
It would be also good to see more long range attempts and more long passes in terms of switch sides and early crossings or such.
About defense... I simply can't complain.
It's much better then first semi-final and I think it need only a little bit to make this mod "perfect".
