In general a really good game and a fair upgrade to last year.
I like the in depth tactical ability.
What I don't like is the same things as usual:
1. Offside has always been a problem, how can a player (mine or opposition) be offside on the 18 yard box when the opposition player is on the byline? I have seen numerous goals disallowed for offside because of this.
Another offside issue is, I have seen multiple goals allowed from offside positions (obvious offsides mainly)
I have seen multiple offside goals disallowed for onside positions claimed as offside when it is obvious either inline with the last defender or ball side of the defender.
2. In game tactics, no matter what I set my team tactics to nothing changes, if I set to passing with work ball into box they shoot from anywhere around 30 yards out multiple times per game, if I select to shoot on site it is the same, If I select early crosses they shoot.
Cross at the byline can be selected but they cross from anywhere but the byline.
The tactics don't always apply to in game matches no matter what you choose.
3. Shooting, can you explain how a team with some of the best players in the world have 50+ shots against a league 1 team, score just one goal, the keeper "saves" over 20 shots and only gets a rating of 6.9. I have seen teams have no less than 25 shots per game multiple times with between 0 and 2 goals scored with the best strikers in the world...this makes NO sense at all and I just don't understand it.
Can you also explain how when a player has a shot, it clearly comes off the GK but the team gets a goalkick?
Can you also explain why FB runs the pitch has 2-4 players waiting for the cross, he is virtually at the by line with no angle to shoot but shoots? (This is the biggest frustration of this game).
4. Tackling, this is poor STILL. I have seen players sent off for being "the last man" when, their co player is stood next to them. This does not make sense at all.
The tackling is generally poor as too many penalties are given for tackles that are obviously not penalties.
5. Penalty taking. This is ridiculous, I have counted an average of 4 out of 5 penalties are missed. This is a shocking stat. for someone with a shooting rating of 16+ and penalty ability of 15+ to miss an average of 4/5 penalties is shocking.
Those are the only bad points about it. Every year it improves but the offside side of it never does. This year the shooting, penalties and tackling have gone massively down hill.
