CPU Shot frequency (ps4)

[orion523]

Distance shots a lot of times depend on the clubs/players your facing, and although I agree they probably don't happen enough, they do happen, anyway here's the numbers:

Games Played: 110
CPU Shots: 1278 (11.62 per game)
CPU On Target Shots: 670 (6.09 per game)

all in all, the numbers play out very very close to where they should.

The reason the CPU doesn't shoot is simple. And it's EA's fault.

Stay with me.

EA made this momentum and precision shooting system and they love it.

The problem is the CPU flat out refuses to shoot unless the conditions are all met and the shot is perfection. This is why they shoot one time in a game and score.

I have never seen the CPU shoot off balance, never seen them shoot from crazy angles, never seen them shoot a ball into my defender (something I do often to the CPU) and never seen them shoot from distance. Never seen them run onto a loose ball and one time it. All of this may happen in the game but I just have never seen the CPU do it myself. And I have played a lot of fifa 14 matches.

The CPU spends their time pecking about the pitch looking for the perfect parameters they love so they can unleash a shot. It's just not going to happen.

So they don't shoot.


Ea could fix this in 2 minutes. They just find the line of code that dictates the ai shooting tendency and lower it. I would guess its on say 95. As in 95% of the conditions must be met before pulling the trigger.

Ea just needs to change it to 40.

Yep, I hear ya. It's almost like a certain set of criteria needs to be met before they shoot. Your theory carries a lot of weight.

Hmmm...if the CPU is looking for the perfect shot like I am assuming, then maybe...just maybe, changing the CPU shot error slider to 0 might make them shoot more.

Reasoning that if their shots contain less "error" maybe they would shoot more?

I gotta test this.

I mean the slider should only affect the shot after the boot hits the ball and the problem I am theorizing is occurring in the CPU brain before they think of taking the shot. But hey, in the crazy world of ea, who knows?

I tried doing that in FIFA 14 for 360 to no avail.

I haven't tried anything but upping CPU Shot Frequency in the custom tactics, but I'm going to give the shot error slider to 0 a shot. Maybe it's different for the next gen versions, but this is the last thing to try before trading it in

Any luck with shot error at 0?
