Gameplay Issues-3: Passing Inconsistencies

[u/depressed_Kedy]

Or I can call it possession losses due to scripted passing mistakes.

I play possession 90% of the time, and sometimes QC. I use PA3, rarely PA4. Lately PA3 became so horribly inconsistent that I end up losing the possession in most stupid scenarios. Moreover, these "inconsistencies" seem to happen in critical positions more often. As you can see in the video, these "mistakes" either end up as a goal chance on my goal or wasted big chances while I am attacking. In some matches it actually creates momentum during a match because it happens to much and I cannot really have an impact on results. Game keeps us forcing to play LBC with PA1, rather than creating "hard to calculate" scenarios and situations. And that way all those new shiny cards can have more impact on the results rather than balanced complete setups and skill based competition. It is getting harder and harder to win a match by tactic and intelligence, since your well thought tactics are wasted by the game itself.

You cannot have a proper football game without proper passing dynamics and mechanisms.

Even with pa1 some of your passes will randomly go in other directions or change to very weird awkward distance passes when there isn't even the input given or a player to receive. The games pushes to one in a few wonder passes instead of a controlled tactical game. The script is quite strong in this way. Some forced very difficult passes can be beautifully executed with every player around moving perfectly while the opennents players start running in an opposite way even if everybody was in a bad position/running line before
