I think it can't get worse in terms of speed! Slow was already lightning fast without heavy slider tweaking.

Agreed! My issue was the FPS was crazy high. I'd usually be okay with this, but the entire game was in fast forward it seemed - including the menus

Any patch notes yet?

The patch is out on PC. I'll let you guys know initial observations momentarily.

Well, anybody looking for changes to gameplay will be disappointed.

I ran three matches in my career this morning, same fixture, all using a slightly modified version of Matt's sliders, on World Class. The results were all similar, 1-0 or 0-0 with the CPU outshooting me typically 8-10 vs 2-4. I have a very difficult time competing with the number of shots the CPU takes. Nonetheless, I think Matt's sliders are pretty excellent starting point for mitigating the absolutely $%#@ing disgraceful/shambolic AI teammate defending.

I don't know how much longer I'll find this gameplay interesting. The "herding cats" and neverending tweaking of tactics and sliders to compensate for poor AI defending is exhausting. On top of that, I spend half my time in attack just simply gobsmacked at the quality of the CPU's defending. They anticipate everything I do, they tackle extremely proficiently, they out-hustle me to 80% of 50/50 free balls. It's about all I can do to make my idiotic teammated defend half as well as the CPU and it leaves very little energy to effectively address my attacking ideas.

I just don't understand why EA is so against patching gameplay.

As the patches have rolled through, for all EA games, the last 5 or so years, it always seems like gameplay is the thing most likely to not be addressed in a patch.

If you look across all forums regarding EA products each game always has several gameplay issues that are universally identified and repeatedly posted as problems.

Yet they continue to be ignored.

This is exactly the kind of post Konami should be reading. Picking up the ball that EA continually drops is how they'll take down the giants.

They don't make gameplay changes because they're busy counting money from their "panini meets pokemon" card game that 90% of their costumers play.
