AI teammates should be intelligent and realistic both in how they position themselves and how they react to opposing players. I do not want to go back to FIFA 21 era defending, which to me completely broke the game on single player.
The reason they felt it “needed” to be dumbed down was because (from what I gathered from Reddit which a large portion of the UT players frequent) UT players were just setting their line height to 95 and their AI defenders would immediately just pressure the ball carrier automatically stealing the ball without the user having to do anything. The problem with this is that this is a patch that will be greatly “needed” for UT players who have teams full of world class players that would make 2010’s Real Madrid blush.But for us manager career players just using regular mid table to low table teams this is going to make covering the AI an absolute chore. They really need to figure out a way to tune game modes separately. But UT players are natural born whiners. They just can’t help it. I give the under at two weeks before online guys figure out how to abuse the dumbed down defense, and they are all on Reddit complaining that their AI doesn’t help them out and that they can’t manually guard all 10 players in the pitch.
