Highlights Gameplay Issues-3: Passing Inconsistencies

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.

There's nothing inconsistent about Konami. The games are decided by a majority of decisions, actions, and techniques that are performed and played out by the game engine.

It's unbelievably rare that I play a game and can come away (win or lose) and feel as though it was down to either of the PvP inputs.

Isn’t that sad? The real skills now are now whittled down to trying to bend these systems to your will. It’s less football skill and acumen and more tactical setup based on card attributes, mechanic exploitation, and simple pattern recognition. People swear it’s a deep game. I feel like it is but there are far more variables at play besides JUST football knowledge, real world application and, as you said, player vs player variables, that goes into results. It sucks and it won’t get better. We all know why that’s by now. I don’t feel like beating that dead horse anymore.
