this has to happen. it would be stupid for it not to even on manual otherwise people good with manual could be accrington stanley and pass the ball perfectley around chelsea because the players good with manual passing/shooting. not realistic. as for the AI in be a pro it does suck ass, but on legendary when you contrtol the whole team i have no major complaints. passing doesnt suck, its simple, if you are facing a player and have a good body position you are more likely to make the pass, its just people are use to PES or FIFA 09/10 where you can be faceing the wrong direction, the player with no line of sight to the player he is going to pass to but magically he knows where he is and makes the pass, cant happen on fifa 11.
THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN?:shocking:
Ofourse not. That's the worst case of STUPID SCRIPTED AI.
I mean, yes it needs to happen AT TIMES like you said, but not like in fifa 11 where it happens MOST OF THE TIME.
In fifa 11 every pass will have a predestined path BEFORE YOU EVEN PASS IT. The AI gets involved with your team WAY TOO MUCH.
Fifa 10 was better at this aspect, but fifa 11 is just over the top in terms of AI. And that body position stuff does not exist in fifa 11 or not as much as people are saying. It does matter a bit, but not as much as I'd like it to be because the AI gets involved way too much as I said.
The AI sometimes is messing with my player selection too.
I want to pass a through ball to the 2nd player, and SUDDENLY, MY FIRST PLAYERS GETS SELECTED AUTOMATICALLY, AND BY THE TIME I TRY TO SELECT THE 2ND PLAYER AGAIN, THE SUPER AI DEFENDERS RUN BACK AND RUINS MY CHANCE. This DID NOT HAPPEN WITH FIFA 10. And yes, I tries the stick selection but it's still slow to select my 2nd player and won't be on time because of the defenders. I'm sad about the AI. Because if it was better, then it would be one of the best football games ever. But the AI is just way too much..
