k this game is pissing me off so much. THERE'S NO RUNNING OFF THE BALL!!! My fvcking players always stand rooted to the spot like douchefvcks and they NEVER go first to the ball.
Case 1: throwing, A throws to B, B controls the ball, A stands still near the side while C runs back, no one makes a run down the flank until 2 seconds later and normally by then B loses the ball or has to pass back.
Case 2: ball in the air, opposition player ALWAYS positions himself in front of my player and easily controls the ball. I mean, there isn't even a battle for the header! The opposition can control it with his foot! My player just stands behind him and he doesn't even push him or anything. Idiots.
Case 3: I swing in a cross from the flank to the far side, my far side winger is there, but again like case 2, he is standing like a pussy behind the opposition defender and the opposition defender clears with no challenge. My player doesn't even run to the fvcking ball to try to get a header!!!
Also, the fvcking game automatically switches my cursors to different players when I didn't press L1 at all!!! For instance, A slides in to knock the ball loose in front of him and I want to keep using A to chase to the ball, but the fvcking game itself switches my cursor to B which is 10 feet ahead and instead I have to use B to turn around and come back to get the ball plus he's farther away than A is.
This game is fvcking pathetic. I mean obviously it's got great realism and ball physics and randomness and all but the players have NO intelligence! They're like wood. Fvcking Konami douchebags need to sort this sh1t out, they need to get a brain just like all their stinking players do.
