Hey, I'm fairly new to FIFA 09 (with limited experience with previous FIFA games), and I have a question about the play of my AI teammates in Human vs AI games. I'm playing on Professional difficulty, by the way, and with Barclays Premier League teams not named Man U, Liverpool, or Chelsea.
In general, I've noticed that my AI teammates are far less aggressive than any outfield AI opposition; my AI teammates seem far less reluctant than the AI opposing players to challenge passes, challenge the ball possessor, etc. It seems like sometimes that my computer teammates are content to let the ball possessor dribble around them, whereas the computer opposing players are playing with far more aggression, yet a controlled aggression.
Is there something I can do to make my AI teammates more aggressive similar to that of my AI opponents, particularly on defense?

Welcome to the FIFA series man. Pretty sure that everyone on this board will agree that this is one of the biggest issues with the game. Very frustrating.
However, with some practice, you'll be able to overcome the issue. In FIFA, you basically have to control every player. If you want something done you need to switch players and do it yourself.
The only exception to that would be using the second defender press button. Check out your controller configuration and find which button it's mapped to.
When you press the SDP button, the defender closest to the CPU ball handler will try to take the ball from the CPU. I like to shadow the ball handler with the player I control and use the second defender press button to sort of trap the opponent. Kind of like a half court trap in basketball.
A word of caution, don't overuse it. I've seen many people overuse this to the point where they are pulling teammates off of the back four line. This leaves gaping holes in your defense around the goal.
Keep practicing and good luck.
