I think this game is almost broken in one fundamental way. In the games I've played on various settings, with various sliders, I'm only seeing between 1 and 5 square or back passes being made by the CPU in a given game. Oftentimes, when a back pass is the smart play, the CPU will just dribble backwards and then pass forwards. This seems to result in the CPU giving up possession too easy in some settings or CPU dribbling and passing becoming over-powered so they can go forward in others.

Need to test more teams and more scenarios when the full retail is playable, but it's frustrating. This was an issue last year, but at least with teams like Barcelona, when they wanted to park the bus, you'd see some sensible passing square and backward. I played a game against Man City and I think they had one pass go backward.

Not to get into a whole debate, but in the PES demo, you'll routinely see 15+ square or back passes to help keep possession, switch the field and build from the back.
