Some of these may have been mentioned before, but here goes:
1. Retarded AI players - sort out the player AI (especially in BaL), so a CPU guy picking the ball up 10 yards from the touchline doesn't somehow end up running it out of play under no pressure. stop them from running square into another player with the ball and losing possession for the team, or stealing an easy take off the keeper and booting it out for an unnecessary corner...I could go on
2. Dodgy Refs - happy to have occasional refereeing errors to add to the realism, but too many bookings for perfectly legitimate, ball-winning challenges, and then no foul for clipping/pressuring a player repeatedly from behind, causing them to stumble and lose the ball (how would that not be a foul???). Also, how about the odd missed offside from the assistant refs, no linesman gets every decision right in the real world
3. More immersive BaL - let you spend the money you earn on different items, houses/cars/etc. What's the point of earning 40 mil a year if all you can spend it on is a new agent?
4. Stop the CPU from cheating - if it wants to score, it will, regardless of how well you play, or what difficulty level you're on. goals should come from well worked moves, and/or errors of judgement from the human player, not from control being taken out of your hands
5. Keepers coming up for corners - why are keepers coming up for corners in the last minutes when a game is tied?
6. Crazy shots from the edge of the area - if the ball is cleared to the edge of the box from a corner, why does an attacking player try a scissors kick so often? it's not as bad as it was in PES 2011, but they still do it too much...want to see more attempts to head the ball back in, hit a normal volley, or take a touch and shoot
7. Speed handicap/catch-up - stop allowing slower players to catch-up with faster ones so easily. e.g. my BaL guy has 87 for general pace and dribbling speed, yet he can be caught by slow, clodding defenders within a few strides when breaking through on goal, and I end up stumbling and losing the ball before getting near to having a shot
8. more realistic transfers in BaL/ML - some transfers just defy belief. I've seen Cristiano Ronaldo at Bolton Wanderers before now (no offence to Bolton, but seriously???)...say no more
9. Proper International calendar - World Cup qualifiers, etc should be played throughout the season, not all lumped together at the end
there's probably more, but I'll leave it there for now
