So that's all for me today. I'll wrap this by asking three questions:- What do you think are the most frustrating scoring chances to give up?
- What is your go-to strategy for getting goals?
- What scoring opportunities would you like to see more of in the game?

1. 5 defenders, park the bus/ultra defensive, high pressure, LB+Y goals. we play pro clubs and are a Div 3 team that can't get into Div 2 because it is all we face. usually 3 or 4 players all playing as forwards and attacking mids, but alwas 5 defenders with a park the bus high pressure and lobbed through attack all game. simply weak.
2. our team has continually refused to lower ourselves to their level. we usually work things out wide and make overlapping runs from the corner back towards the top of the box. if no shot opens up we'll switch it to the other corner and begin overlapping the other way. we play a 4-3-3 false 9 and our CF usually will play most of an offensive set with his back to the goal. we aren't great but we aren't bad either. we are one of the few that don't flat out go for the goals you listed above outside of true counter-attacks.
3. I would like to see more punishment in stamina and niggling injuries when team does nothing but park the bus, play high pressure and sprint non-stop all game. in pro clubs there is 1-5% chance of a minor punishment of a pulled hamstring for 20 seconds... big whoop. yet a user can have barely a sliver of stamina/sprint meter and still just galop past the defenders, heel chop, cut back & watch the defender fly by, pull back and hit a perfect curled shot to the back post in the 80th minute while our users have conserved energy with 50% stamina remaining and can't pull away from their users... this would lead to more realistic breakdowns of formation shape and lead to more realistic goal scoring opportunities.
3A. I don't mind goals like the above happening, we've benifited from them all before. I just don't like that the AI can't be adjusted, all too often on the sprint to the edge of the box, heel chop move you see the defenders go sprinting right by... any defender knows that as the player gets to the last 5 feet before the touchline, the attacker isn't going to just sprint out of bounds... they need to have a cutback ability. the other problem you have is defenders will often knock each other out of the play because of the auto-strafing that they do, where 1 defender is too close so now they are slide stepping (slowing down way too much and actually losing contain usually) and the other defender is still sprinting over to contain so then they slam into each other and now the attack sprints again and is gone on goal.
