CPU players run away from the opposing ball carrier

[RA30]

Oftentimes, the CPU players will move away from the opposing ball carrier.
Happens to both my team and the CPU team.

e.g. I am dribbling towards goal with an open lane in front of me.
CPU defender behind me and another defender ahead of me to the right.
The right side defender, instead of closing on me will move further right into open space, to cover some missing ghost attacker and leave my dribbler wide open.

Same goes for my teammates sometimes.

Really annoying gameplay where the CPU players will try to cover empty open space in a zone defence instead of closing down on the ball carrier.

This has plagued PES for a while... FIFA has the same issue. This happens mostly around the edge of the box from what I've seen. It's like the AI gets confused between marking the dribbler, playing the passing lane or marking an off ball player.

I wish i could be so lucky. The CPU is always on me like a pack of dogs on a 3-legged cat.
