[AI]Too low amount of shoots by the computer team.

[tomekumbras]

I think that sometimes computer is not "thinking" good. Many times if computer player is one on one he is passing ball crosswise. There is too low amount of perpendicular pass that's why there is no actions in some matches (if I play as goalkeeper in one league I don't have to intervenue)

Sorry for my English.

After all those bugs the game is great. I'm very greatful for your work, really. I've dreamed about such game. Thanks.

I have to agree that the number of chances (and therefore of goals) is globally too low due

a) to the rather poor AI of attackers in the attacking zone (most of the time they take the bad decision)

b) to the huge advantage defenders have over attackers. Andreas you gave an advice how to fool pacy defenders by pushing the ball in front of you and that's a good trick when YOU are controling the player but AI players NEVER do that. Since I'm playing a player career (as most of us do I think) I'm forced to count on my team-mates to help scoring goals but they're generally useless when on attack. Additionaly when you are through on goal with a defender chasing you he should not be able to pick the ball so easily from behind without event tackling. I think most of the time there would be a clear foul and the defender would be red carded, no ? IRL only world class defenders could sometimes just grab the ball from you from behind without making any foul.

Life as an attacker is also difficult -to say the least- due to the fact that you're rarely getting any cross from your team-mates. IRL a lot of goals come from crosses from a winger of a full back, here they never seem to go far enough to put a decent cross for an attacker to head or volley in. Maybe in the next version :wink: ?

I must specify that up to now I've only played with lower divisions teams so maybe the offensive play is better with top teams ? Can anyone playing with big teams confirm this theory ?

Feedback anyone ?

Yes, I too have played many practice games and it does seem that the defenders have a large advantage over an attacker, especially taking the ball away from the attacker from behind. Also, it does seem that there are not enough shots on goal by computer controlled teams, and thus too little goals. We are being very critical now but I think this will help Andreas look into these areas with an eye towards future updates.

I'm going to release another new version in the next days which will contain a slightly modified artificial intelligence.
