I need some severe improvements
I've played this game a whole bunch over the last few days, and the more I play, the more I realize the things that start to bother me. I've made a list of things I want to change and I wonder if y'all agree with it or not. These are besides the whole "through passes suck and defending isn't good because it's manual" complaints I see a lot.
- defense doesn't close gaps. They stand still regardless of the movement of the attacking opposition.
- strikers or midfielders don't run into open positions, they literally just stand still behind another players
- players clump together, I can make a run and an AI teammate will literally run right in front of my feet and won't change directions
- Players bounce off each other like an invisible wall. There is no realistic collision.
- If an attacker is running in front of your defender, there is no way to catch up or defend anymore. It's either you HAVE to be wayyy faster or just slide and take a red card. There are no other options.
- changing the player doesn't always even go to the "suggested" player switch and that completely messes up your defense, especially since manual switching doesn't properly track at the moment.
- when you give a wide ball and a player is locked unto it you cannot change to a player that's closer to it. It'll stay locked even if it for some messed up reason has to run all the way from the other side of the field.
- when you pass a ball, the player you pass to doesn't (always) run or walk to it. It stands still and waits for the ball to arrive no matter what you do. This makes it incredibly easy to intercept and I've scored so many goals through interceptions this way.
- I've seen and had myself succesful tackles where the defender doesn't even touch the ball. If the "timing" of the tackle is right, you just automatically have it regardless of actually physically having the ball. This is more akin to tackles in Mario Smash Football.
