You didn't man, you are kind of right. I felt the same yesterday.
I made positive comments about how the game was fixed after the patch when i played it 3-4 games but in the long-run on the weekend I can safely say the game is better but not great, there are still problems:
1-AI doesn't religiously go for wing organization and low crosses but they try it every single game no matter what.
2-I can't understand how AI doesn't shoot from the cross angle 1 on 1 with the keeper but wait for late comer to turn around and play the low cross to him for a better goal. This thing only happen in very TOP teams and in very special teams like Spain National Team between 2008-2012 etc... The regular Brazilian team or Turkish team playing with inferior players are using the same strategy .... This is absurd.
3-Low crosses sometimes are unpreventable, even if you are first to the ball, you press the button first as your defender, the attacker ignores your move, gets the first touch and goal.
4-Defending is a frustration in this game. I really like Pes 2017 and 2018 a lot but defending makes me like this game less. You have to press less and wait for opponent to come to you in your halfway, otherwise your defenders will instantly lose position and AI will make you pay. It's like automatic cheat code.
5-Long shots are not parried enough by goalkeepers, they hold on to the ball without bouncing it off. Hard shots just outside the area going to the corner are 95 % bounced off with saves by keepers, not held onto them in real football
Last important note for players in ML:
*I have 2 saves, one with 2nd year with Sao Paulo, the other one just 10 games into the season with Fenerbahce in Turkish League. I play the same formation, player ratings are about the same but I play much more fluid with Sao Paulo as CPU team-mates make clever runs offensively when you have the ball and CPU team-mates cover the ground much better defensively when opponent has the ball. So have patience. In ML, the game wants you to lose first, struggle and then become a good team if you can...
