Hi fidel,
Thanks for your great work
I'd like to share my main issue regarding the gameplay :
The runs of attackers and defenders :
On the attaking side : the players make some good runs forward but there's not enough variety in their routes.
The players run forward to call for the ball but never backward or on sides.
Think about Benzema with Madrid. He often leaves his position of striker stuck to the last CB to call for the ball in midfield or on the sides of the pitch
I like to have a powerful striker like Drogba or Diego Costa. The main reason to have a powerful striker is to use him to build attacks. When, for example, the wingers have the ball he needs to runs towards them, calling for the one-two passes. It's the Target man role in Football manager.
I think in Fifa the Target man stays too much stuck to his CB, never calling for the ball backwards even if the opponent is "parking the bus", he just wait for the ball.
Other example, think about Pirlo who he's always running backwards to propose a passing solution when CB and RB/LB have the ball.
When i have the ball my teammates never makes backwards runs or side runs to avoid marking. They are static or they runs forward like beheaded chickens no matter where the space is.
On the defensive side : Defenders follow attackers only when they have to run towards their own goal to cover deep runs from the strikers. When a CPU striker is calling for the ball backwards, they don't follow him, they let him control the ball, turn around towards the goal and then they try to challenge the ball. They must follow the striker anywhere on the pitch, especially when he makes a ridiculous 1 yard move backwards to avoid marking. They need to be pressing not only the ball carrier but also the calls, that's just anticipation, probably the most important skill of a modern football defender.
I don't know if it's fixable with sliders or if you can adjust the gameplay but IMO it's really a game breaker for the moment.
Sorry for my English I learned it with TV shows and music, I'm french
