I'll be sticking on Professional and below as its unbelievably jarring how much bullshit occurs beyond those levels. I'm sure those who've played every iteration and know how to counter such are fine with it, but coming as a fresh pair of eyes who'd barely touched the series for many, many years, the fact your AI controlled team mates are literal fucking imbeciles whilst the AI controlled opposition steamrolls your players like a tank unit is, essentially, fuck that noise. The amount of goal mouth scrambles I have where my players just stand there, or run the fuck away is insane, and that's at both ends of the pitch. Whack it on World Class and their 50 STR winger is bullying my 79 STR FB like he's a small child. Defending better now, definitely, but relying on any player you don't control is an absolute crapshoot, and I'm finding the right stick switching to be fairly hopeless.

Pro is my level for a challenge, Semi-Pro if I want an end to end game. Very happy sticking there, and won't be heading online.

There's the starting line-up:



Selling all my dross on the list and made 120k so far selling around 75 players (still got 500+ at the club). Inaki Williams is a beast.
