Adaptive Difficulty

Doesn't matter if you are playing a 5 star teams vs a 1 star. I am trying to fight this issue (http://www.operationsports.com/forum...n-sliders.html) but until now without any success. Cheers!

I was going to try and make the change below and see what happens. I'm hoping it disables the gameplay balancing that FIFA tries to do. We'll see.

Both Bellerin and Walcott are too slow to catch Moreno before it's in my end, where Moreno dribbles through Bellerin and Walcott and Ramsey and Mustafi and passes to Sturridge who misses the net. I mean what the peep Moreno you were supposed to tackle Walcott inside the box and give me a penalty as it went in RL. When did you become such a superstar

100% true. One of many EA tricks to add difficulty... Here's another one:



Everton (me) vs Yeovil, world class, default sliders. A simple short pass to a free teammate... He looks away and ignores the ball until it's too late... This happens dozens of times when you face a lower rated team.

It looks like at Professional these tricks (CPU cheats) are gone.

Yep at Professional your teammates are smarter and play like you want them to play. I wish I could have that mixed with the difficulty of World Class.

Those missed passes are super annoying. Happens to me often as well and I got assisted passing

I actually kind of like that because too many times players react to passes that they shouldn't even see because of poor head-tracking. I'll try to upload a few videos of goals scored by the CPU where the player shouldn't have even seen the pass.

BUT I def understand what you're saying. There are a few times on manual passes where my pass is so wayward that makes me question if it's time for a new controller.

In my example, the thing that annoys me isn't the direction of the pass, but the freezing of the receiving player. Instead of immediately move to catch the ball, correctly passed in front of him, he ignores it. He just reacts to it when the ball is too far and going out of bounds. This kind if freezing happens all the time, in all kind of situations, allowing the CPU to balance a game that should be unbalanced. Adding to this, rebounds taking strange trajectories to fall into the CPU players, poor rated players performing like any word class player, etc. These "tricks" are all meant to make any game a stupid thriller.

Ahhh..gotcha.

Yeah there are a lot of suspect things that go on as you move up in difficulty. I've def experienced the "pass and chase" you're talking about.

guys... i don't know... really... this just looks like confirmation bias to me.

i mean, you believe ai teammates are dumber in higher difficulties, then every time they act dumb, you see this as a confirmation of your belief, even if they would probably act the same way in the same situation in a lower difficulty.

ricardo, i thought your example was poor. it was not an easy pass to receive, it was a bit too strong. if you expect your players to catch this pass 100% of the time, you're definitely expecting too much from them.

It was just one example (probably not the best looking one). I can record more if you want.

I don't expect the player to be successful in every situation. No way! I don't want perfection! But If you look carefully you can see how long it takes to the player to react to the pass. It artificial feezes and you can't do nothing to avoid it.
