Description of issue
Copy pasting this comment of mine from the general feedback thread. The mentioned match PKM is attached.
Teams with lower mentalities being able to keep the ball forever really needs to be fixed, or it'll just be FM 20 all over again.
Was doing a Bayern test save and Arminia Bielefeld, a team that finished 15th last season (out of 18 teams), and a relegation contender (17th) this year is 2nd in possession in my Bundesliga save.
Also note that Bayern and Dortmund can't even reach 50%, because every team is playing keep ball against them when they have possession.
To get an idea of how bad they pass the ball between themselves, these are the stats from a match where Bayern beat Arminia 9-0. Notice how Arminia has a 94% pass completion rate and nearly 600 completed passes and all that while being 1 man down since the 7th minute.
Despite the result, they're actually doing really well in the league, and are currently 7th. This really gives me shades of FM20 where a defensive team like Brighton always finishes in the top 6-8 each season thanks to endless ball possession.
Think I'll wait for the update before playing again and hope this will be patched up. There are a lot of good things in FM 22, but a defensive opponent having 600 passes between their backline is really sad.
Steps To Reproduce:
Play a game between a strong team in the league and a weaker team that will shut up shop against them.
