Okay dokey. And dang that slowpoke internet speed, I used to suffer like that!

It'll be the same. It's pretty much the same coding in every sports game.

You have to play smarter. Lol. If their ultra attacking at the end is killing it then find a way to beat it. It's not "impossible" to stop their super aggressive nature. You just have to be ready for it.

I guarantee when the 80 minute mark hits it will be exactly the same as it's always been. As long as 6 minutes is the default half length, and that is how the game is designed to be played, all of these arcade-y elements will be in place. The fact that fouls have been completely ignored for years should clue us in that simulation is not the goal here.

I don't really see much of an issue in the final ten minutes of a match. Sure the CPU presses you and goes all out to score if they're behind, but by doing that they leave themselves very vulnerable to swift counters. In three plus seasons in my final CM with FIFA 13, I bet I could count on one hand the number of games I lost in the final 10 minutes. I'd have more of a problem if they just sat back and let me run out the clock for the win.
What I don't like is the "automation" of it all. I do wish they ratcheted up the pressure more organically, or maybe at different times depending on the situation.
To give a real life example, Manchester United after being dominated by Liverpool in the first half came out in the 2nd half and put the heat on right from the jump that is something I would like to see the CPU do, then if they are successful in leveling the match, ratcheting it back and playing for the road draw.
