The funniest part of his rant was that it just highlighted how bad he is at the game, not how poor the AI is.
While manual passing is not going to be directly as realistic at it is in a real game, it's not random. Personally, I love deciding how hard my pass is going to be based on the situation at hand. It took a bit to figure out, but it is second nature. Plus it creates more imperfect passing speeds, which is closer to realistic.
I understand why people think they need to get a pass off at the touch of button, but it takes longer to see your man and perform a pass in real life than it does to power up a long pass. I'm sorry, but the ability to ping pong the punch around to guys is not realistic at all.
The rest of it just seems like he wants the game to be easier, not better.
