CPU Shooting Strategy (Always in the Box)???

I just watched a few videos of gameplay, and boy oh boy, why does the CPU ALWAYS try to get the ball literally a few feet away from the goalie before taking a shot?

Just saw about 6 examples (from watching 5 min of gameplay) of the CPU with a nice lane to the goal from just outside the box, yet they try and pass it even closer...

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but it seems the CPU is programmed to get the ball as close to the net as possible before taking a shot as opposed to taking good, open shots from around the edge of the box.

Here's just one of those videos I watched. 3:00 - 3:07 mark. Umm..

That's probably got more to do with team tactics of Arsenal. I'm almost a hundred percent sure if you go to team tactics and set the CPU to just start ripping shots from everywhere. I played a game on Legendary against Lille using Lyon and got beat by a shot from Sow from a few yards outside the box. Teams do take shots from outside, depending on their style.

I'm experiencing the same problem regardless of who I play against. In nearly every match I have a substantial advantage in shots taken because the AI is way too cautious.

Change the Run Frequency slider for the AI to around 30 and this should solve your issues. Did for me and most others.

I've had the AI shoot from long-range against me lots of times with my AI Run Frequency slider set to 75 (which I've then since lowered to 70).

Seriously? Why would that affect it? I actually have mine at 100 becaue I like the runs they make.

Yeah, not sure why run frequency would affect shots, although one would have to try it and see I suppose. Play a team with players who have the long shot ability and you'll see more long shots for sure. Also, as I recall from editing, player ratings like pass and long shot actually affect how often the player will pass and shoot. Could be those ratings are in need of some tweaking and balancing.

I play on pro with 70 run and they still try and dribble into goal. I'm getting ready to move up a level so I don't know if that has anything to do with how they shoot.
