Prior to the kick being taken my back line was in perfect marking position as soon as the ball was sent in they simultaneously backed off.

That looked PES 2011ish on the through ball but yeah, semi-over exaggerated animation + lack of urgency by CPU teammates = a goal conceded.

I'm going to trade in this game, didn't like it

Playing this game online sucks. I hate the way people play.

playing manager mode with custom sliders, loving the game, completely addicted, but ai tactics are annoyingly predictable. if i'm winning by any margin at any time up to the 79th minute, i don't see any change in the way they are playing. at all. even if i'm swansea and they're man utd.

at 80:00 they start to attack me and press me like the world would end if they don't score. always exactly in the 80th minute, doesn't matter what's the team, what's the championship. cpu losing at 79th, it's alright, chill out mate... cpu losing at 80th, OMG EVERYONE TO ATTACK, HYPER PRESSUREZ!!!

so flat...

any way of making my stupid teammates A.I. press on defense when i loose the ball on my side? they always go back and dont make an attempt to get the ball back!!! what about "50-50" balls?

I don't think there is any fix for this. The higher the level, the less help you get from your teammates. The same goes for the CPU as well. Sometimes they'll have a player in position to make a play or help mark and they do nothing.

This is by far the most frustrating sports video game I've played in years. The marking is just awful for both the USER and the CPU, the precision dribbling is far too effective, and the officiating is absolute joke. Finally the obvious momentum and scripting in this game are as bad as I've ever seen.

Here is a video I made of a number of examples of the horrid marking in this game. Some are my CPU teammates and some are the CPU. All of these examples are on Legendary.......




Good idea to add Tactical Defending, but it's either broken or the programmed momentum is overriding the intent of TD. That could be one of the problems. The bigger problem is that while it some instances it's good that the CPU defenders contain, they haven't figured out that the back four defend differently than the rest of the group. In past FIFAs when you get into the box you were swarmed with defenders the way you should be. In FIFA 12, the whole team defends "tactically" all over the pitch and it's killing the game.

played a friendly right now to test some things and tyler started the match commentary with something like "here we are in this halloween evening..."

haha cool

edit: not cool anymore when he says the same in a league match that was in august according to the in-game schedule ¬¬
