They do not play that way, ever, not even with a 1 goal lead. They normally move it around laterally and allow the opposition to simply die a slow death and be utterly frustrated in the process. To make matters worse, Messi was subbed in with 15 minutes left. Not a defender. Not a defensive midfielder. Messi! A striker for a striker. Next game the Dutch had a 2 goal lead on me (USA) and the only sub was a wide forward for a, wait for it... wide forward! This is killing the game for me. 2 of my issues from last year have been eradicated. Kudos to EA for that. Fouls are nice to see and shooting from distance is nice to see. But, every team seems to play the same, way too direct. CPU passing is too precise and the cpu AI is terrible.

I agree with this completely.

But I think fouls are defintely a problem, not so much for normal tackles I have got a few of thoughs but mainly when it comes to shoving people of the ball and shirt pulling. The A.I does it to me constantly and no free kick, no card, not nothing. I remember my 2nd or 3rd game the A.I basically pulled me to the ground inside the box and I didn't get a penalty.
