a catastrophe ..
and while the older games in the serie gave you an option for fine tuning, you can forget about this now.
"fully assisted" switches players automatically - but you never get the one you really need and it's simply chaotic - the moment you think you get the ball from the opposite, the cursor switches to another player - forget standard situations like corners - you can't cover anything - no rooms nor opposite players. your best option is to set another one in the goal - the only good thing is that the opponents are as stupid as your own team members.
"semi assisted" isn't what it tells - it's like fixed, one time it doesn't switch at all or it switches to someone far far away, who's not even near the ball.
"semi assisted" means you can only switch between two players (!!) - and while one is clapping hands in front of the opposite goal, the other one you can switch to is offside (like 3 or 4 of your other team members) - so the team you're playing against has all the time it needs for counterattacks.
the ai is horrible - you're not playing against an opposing team of 11 player you play against 20 ai-controlled idiots - sometimes your best friend is the goalkeeper because he's the only one you can give a pass to .. and while the goalie owns the ball one of your own team members swarms around him and blocks the way for a short pass - so you have to be careful that the ball doesn't bounce in for an own goal ..
"become a legend" is a dissapointment also - the team you're playing in acts like you don't exist - you will never receive a pass if you're not willing to constantly hammer the button for "receive a pass" - even if you're in a perfect position you will be ignored completely.
this game is a catastrophe - and it gets worse every year - i want my money back ..
