Does the CPU cheat?

Im keen for a few soccer heads to tell whether Im right, or if Im just **** at the game. I know the basics of soccer but formations etc my knowledge is pretty shallow. Here's some things Ive noticed.

CPUs ability to clear the ball to any open teammate on the pitch from an attacking scramble. Anywhere.

The sudden speed burst defenders get.

The way the CPU bodies morph into better position (in a physical duel) when it suits them.

The manner in which CPU teammates are oblivious to the ball and often run away from a chance.

Their near perfect crossing ability in tight spaces.

Their amazing ability to tackle the ball away directly to a teammate.

Do you mean in aerial duels? I've never won a header clearly in a 50/50 against the CPU

Re: Does the CPU cheat?

Nah the computer doesn't cheat, more often than not the situations you describe are caused by human error, poor positioning, poor decision making, abuse of the sprint button, things like that. It sounds to me like you're just frustrated. I'm nearing the end of my first full season with the NG version of the game using Roma and I'm in 3rd position with a record of 19W 8D 4L
Playing strictly on world class and legendary, if the CPU did the things you've mentioned above, I'd have way more losses than 4

I do think that FIFA dumb downs your players. However, the cheating is nowhere near as bad. I play on Professional.

Re: Does the CPU cheat?

I say yes it does. But only because it always has. It's part of the ea code they keep dragging along from version to version.

But as they have moved along each year the amount of cheating has lessened.

It's also heavily mode dependent.

If you are playing fut then yes, 100% yes! the CPU is a cheat.
Same goes for the weekly challenges that you can't change the sliders on.

Career just has it's moments where the CPU gets boosted.

Exhibition on default cheats but sliders help tone it down. But in my opinion if you tone down the cheating the CPU doesn't put up as much of a fight.

To counter the cheating just observe what the CPU does. The CPU is terrible at deviating from their methods. So once you figure out how they want to attack you, you can stop it because they won't change tactics during a match.

Re: Does the CPU cheat?

It does, but I feel like sometimes it has more to do with your own teammates becoming inept off the ball.
