This is what FiFa Creative Director, Matt Prior, said brace years ago:

"There is absurdity in some of the algorithms for accessories [trapping the ball]," Prior said. "That's congenital throughout the game, but that's all abstinent on an abandoned level of FIFA Coins. It doesn't yield into account, oh, this is 1-0 in the 90th minute, let's accord this guy added error. It's complete abundant individual. And as a aftereffect it can appear at any time. That's allotment of the adorableness of the sport. That can be arresting at times, but that's the attributes of football.

The key aspect actuality is that his account implies that NO MATTER THE CONTEXT the bold doesn't arbitrate with anything, every decision/error is down to the user. But as we all saw on u/Arlington69 's post, the bold DOES INDEED arbitrate in some way (in the ambience of a aggregation accident by 2-0).

Long-Story short: He went into a bold authoritative BOTH teams, on absence Custom Tactics, Counterbalanced and acclaimed how one aggregation pressures the other. After-effects showed that at 2-0, the accident aggregation INDEED puts added burden and marks added deeply

BUT afterwards the user even acute the commands to do so. THEREFORE, EA does acquire a arrangement that intervenes with the bold in a contextual way.

The focus actuality should not be about "We accurate Drive !!" No. In that ambience drive is a appealing ambiguous appellation to use. The bigger affair appropriate now is that EA, yet again, fucking aria to us, and denied that they in fact baffle with game-play in the accomplishments based on context.

There is a aberration amid impacting your absurdity by accepting the added aggregation acute more, and adjusting the bulk of absurdity you have. Your absurdity is based on the situation. It's just like in Madden, the AI will eat alarm if they are ahead late, and they will assault added if they're behind.

Heck, in FIFA, if you're behind, the AI will eat clock, run the brawl into the corner, etc late. That's not accomplishing ANYTHING to your absurdity or your play, it artlessly changes the anticipation action of what the CPU players are doing. That's the entire point of AI, that they acclimate and adjust. If you're aggravating to accomplish poor passes adjoin pressure, afresh yes, your errors will increase. That's not the bold saying, "ok, your casual absurdity is commonly 25, now we're bumping it up because you're ahead". That is YOU not arena smart.

And the accomplished point of this is that the AI shouldnt adjudge how to act on its own. It shouldnt be automatically acute harder if 2-0 down, its should be up to the user to be alive abundant to do so if he chooses to.

A appropriate amateur will columnist college if 2-0 down, and THAT is if the Ai should act accordingly, like you describe. The AI shouldnt adjudge that for the player, FIFA 18 Coins because that way bits players who dont even acquire basal custom approach or commands are accepting helped because the bold does it automatically for them.
