I agree, we saw that in Matt's stream last night too.

One of the best improvements this year is that CDMs will now properly hold when given the instruction to not join in attack.

Yeah, positioning, instructions, tactics all work properly and it makes a huge difference. No longer is my target man set to "stay forward" tracking deep into my half or playing like a false 9, or my CDM's set up to protect the backline pushing into the opposition's box when I'm trying to hold a lead.

Great streams by Jimmy and goblue. R1 pass to top of 18 is biggest issue by far at moment. Automatic goal for AI at that distance. Build up usually great by AI, but then they hit the 1-2 R1 and shot for goal. That did go away playing on Pro for goblue. Fix this and I can live with the rest myself. Maybe look at lower pass speed or higher shot error if that R1 cannot be tamed....

Alrighty, well got in 2.5 games here on the stream and just want to lay out a few observations we had made...

OP settings to a T, assisted pass, manual everything else.

I play as Milan for now, first match vs. SPAL. Lost 4-2, on 4 driven pass goals, 3 of which the first touch howitzers. The 15 RF did slow the CPU down a bit in their decision making, but at the moment of truth they defaulted to that dang driven pass. So frustrating as it leaves you feeling completely helpless, I can't change players fast enough to keep up with that.

Game 2 vs. Sampdoria.. Quit at halftime after the same nonsense. Just relentless R1 driven balls to Zupata, who was happy to take balls 1st time, or to take an ungodly 1st touch to shot.

Frustrated, I decided ya know what, I'm throwing it on Professional. Restarted the game and to my surprise, saw NONE of the R1 balls into the forwards. They were using what looked like the "through ball" animation, the occasional driven ball perhaps, but they weren't rockets at all. My offense loosened up on PRO of course, but their GK got a hand on everything. They weathered the storm and absolutely dominated me in the 2nd half to a 2-0 win.

Aside from me maybe sucking at this game?? (I've played FIFA for over a decade, and had no issues with 17 winning tons of games); I thought there were something to take away from this.

We know WC inflates stats of the AI... SO, what stat is being inflated that either produces these rocket R1 balls, or is it simply WC is triggering them to choose that pass more frequently??

My other observation, is the CPU shooting is overpowered. Every striker is hitting the ball like Henry. The one timers, the one touch and shot, doesn't matter.. just precision accuracy from them. AI GK seemed to get a lot more touches on shots than mine did, but I also can't place it top bin every shot like they can.

I threw this idea out there in the stream the other night...

I've played FIFA on w/c or legendary for a very long time. I'm sometimes getting beat 6-0 on WC with this FIFA though. No idea why.

Was you that came to mind when I was scratching my head. I didn't want to start tinkering with values yet, it's just not productive for the group.
