Really , this game improved many issues from the past and added some really good additions , it could easily be an amazing game, but its not, because of the AI.
Im just going to point out some obvious big flaws with it
in BAL mode , the manager is dumb, will put u in positions u dont even play or on the wrong side ( why do we even have a favorite side? ), and make very weird formations etc...
In the game itself
GK - horrible , I really have nothing to add im sure everyone already noticed so far that they are simply horrible.
Defenders - They lose the ball to attackers at least a few times per game and then the attacker usually runs 1 on 1 vs the keeper , its just amazing how stupid the defenders are, I mean a player runs towards them and instead of pulling the ball away ( shielding it ) or even draging it around the attacker in the opposite direction of his running hence escaping for a bit ( usually what xavi does alot so you know what I mean ) they TURN DIRECTLY TOWARDS THEM and lose the ball, I mean seriously...
Midfield - the most balanced but still stupid , they mostly never do any good trough balls when the situation opens and theres a good chance for a really good trough ball, instead they usually do it in all the wrong moments so half of the balls run just to be intercepted by an opposing defender, also they never make air trough balls even when there is no other option , they rather run into a player and lose the ball or try a grounded trough ball directly into the defender.
Forwards - Simply retarded , they shot the ball straight into defenders , when they go 1on1 they miss the goal 9 times out of 10 or pass the ball to the goalkeeper because they shot instantly after they get it instead of running towards the goal ( since they get a trough pass ) , they almost never try actually tricks or good dribble moves , I mean instead of draging the ball to the side like every normal soccer player would they run straight into the defender.
Overall the AI is simply horrible , when you control a team you can outplay them with no problems at all , and when you play BAL your whole team is completely useless , Barcelona getting outplayed 55% - 45% possession by Zaragoza , things like that which make no sense at all.
Players on ur team not making runs must be the most frustrating game ever , ur on a break trying to counter and ur player stand around or start to run BACK instead of forward lol.
Overall if the AI would be good this game would be almost near perfect , but as it is now the game is really being dragged down by this horrible AI.
