EA should seriously take option out of ultimate team to make game fairer

FIFA 15 lets you ascribe individual instructions regarding behavior on the field. Thus, you can tell an attacker how intense should be his contain or how often should he run toward a clear field; midfielders can be instructed as for playing on the sides or to take defensive actions, while defenders may be allowed to make quick runs on the sides of the field or use a popular "parking the bus" tactic, i.e. seal off the goal.

Squad lineups aren't announced and the announcer's comments seem to be more broad, but it will talk about fixtures, is generally more in synch with the action, and will acknowledge its own interruptions like the new-gen versions. If you have the means, FIFA 15 on the new systems is clearly the way to go (check out our review).  All the systems include amenities like the return of Tournament mode, Friendly Seasons, and loans and Concept Squads in Ultimate Team.


I've repeatedly dominated games with possession of over 80% and yet the AI is so bad that one of your defenders being controlled by the computer will suddenly fall or stop running or lunge for the ball and allow an opponent to walk right into the goal. This type of play happens over and over rewarding luck and ruining the game. Strategy, ball control, poses sion and even accurate passing don't matter in this game.

EA seriously need to take this option out of ultimate team or change it to make the game fairer. My main reason being I have came up against multiple opponents that have all the midfielders and defenders to stay back while attacking. This creates an overload of players at the back and seems very unfair on most FIFA players myself included. As there is at least eight players back at any given time for my opponents it is very hard and almost impossible to break down the defence of the opposing team.
