Just a response to someone earlier talking about only programming the current league you play in and using second controller to do for the international matches.
I would actually recommend programming any league you might one day want to manage in at the onset. It doesn't actually take that long (probably 1-2 hours at most), but it adds so much to the immersion, and it means that if you get bored of winning one league all the time, you can move to another league, where the teams are already playing much more individually.
In terms of overall feedback, I have to say I still find that although teams do play more uniquely, there is still some real lack in getting other teams to take shots at goal. I was playing a Euro League semi-final against PSG last night (CM manager, AC Milan, Legendary, tactics from here, sliders to make opposing team as aggressive as I can). My team managed a 4-0 win away...sigh. They took about one shot at goal.
For the return leg I got so frustrated I took the ball to my own penalty box, and stood waiting for Cavani or someone to steal it from me. Do you know what i discovered? Firstly, your player will shield the ball, and retrieve it from an attempted steal .... with the controller on the coffee table! Clearly massive programming to make other team suck, and player be god-like. Secondly, even with no defenders between Cavani (I mean Cavani man!) and the goal, he misses 50% of the time, or gets saved... what a joke. And thirdly, if they score, your chances of scoring an immediate revenge goal is >90%, as suddenly it seems their goalie has gone blind.
The imprinted AI in this game is enough to make you scream. Clearly some people must have complained so much at some point that they made a game for you to simulate being a football god, rather than an actual football game

First of all, I agree with you that it pays to submit all the (programming?) Data as Krebstar have created for you / we can put into CTT in a few hours what the man has spent weeks and months to create respect, excuse back to the track ...
No doubt that EA AI frustrate at times. But experience tells me that it's not all black and white. If you step up the midfield with the ball and not move, you will find that it goes 4-5 seconds before AI attack, realistically, no, but is it realistic that I have to stand and stare 4-5 seconds, just as it is realistic to you must stand still in the defense to Cavani can steal the ball ?, no I guess.
The game code is what it is and it has been for a long time, but I see hope ahead with the new engine. There is always Slider to make the game more challenging, and yes sometimes behave AI strangely. EA does not listen to complaints, but only to the proposal, and not least what they can earn from, the same as all other companies would do. It is not to pick on you, every man is entitled to his opinions and frustrations, but sometimes I miss a little of reality realism of what we expect and what can EA create ?.
