I was about to open a thread about the last few hours i experienced.
I play with 1860 Munich, they are one of the worst teams in the 2.Bundesliga. I won the league 1st season and was already sceptical, but i thought it may change when i play against the "big boys".
Well....here i am after winning 6:1 against Mönchengladbach, a team that plays in the CL. My team is roughly a 72 overall with 2 youth players. This is ridiculous...they have to make Legendary harder!
All you people keep saying that legendary is to easy. I'm struggling man!!!!
Can you PLEASE help me with a good formation and custom tactic to create chances against legendary. ?
4411 with overlapping wingers, attacking style. Be sure that you are talking about CM and not FUT. My understanding is that FUT legendary is actually way more difficult than legendary on CM.
Thanks. And custom tactics? Fast build up? Slow build up?

Sorry, thats overlapping full backs not wingers!
I don't mess with custom tactics, just adjust each players role/responsibilities. Then prior to kickoff I always set mentality to attacking.
Hope that helps, hate to be conceded but the way the AI is, I do feel like whatever formation I use I could be pretty successful.

Ok thanks. Which team do you play with?
Not playing right now. Everton sets up well for that formation. I
I'm finding it difficult to create chances, which is great, but I'm rarely giving up goals. I'm messing around with sliders to try and fix this, but haven't found a solution yet.
The game becomes too easy when I can keep a clean sheet in most games. The worst part is that I don't even have good quality defenders yet. My highest rated is a 74.
The CPU attackers are just plain stupid. They'll break down my defense, and then instead of charging forward they will either send a through ball to a marked player, or roll a lame shot through.

I don't use any custom tactics at all. I play a 4-2-3-1 formation with both Spurs & Atletico. My Atletico game I basically transformed the team by buying a ton of youngsters to build up and develop but the fun isn't there due to battering teams all the time. I wouldn't even call myself a top top player, not even close because online is a different story completely, plus, with so many people having the same problem, it's definitely a problem EA have missed and are probably too far down the line to change it.
Paying '50 bucks' for the game should definitely include sliders and the ability to customise the game to what you want. Many people talk about and say they want the ability to customise their gaming experience etc. well sliders, manual play and other tweaks are all part of that experience. And not sure how you couldn't find a good balance using sliders etc. but you sold the game so it doesn't matter now anyway.
I'm not saying sliders shouldn't be there...I'm saying they shouldn't be a necessity to fix a seriously easy AI, anyway, they make very little difference to the ease in which a lot of people are smashing teams in career mode so it's a complete moot point.
No mention of this being fixed in the patch 2 notes
What an absolute ❤️❤️❤️❤️ disgrace!!! Does anyone know how to contact EA from US??? I'm a player since 1994 and I'm ❤️❤️❤️❤️ serious when I say they've finally lost me.
I've tried to keep dialogue civil till now but man I just want to unleash on someone about this Pronto. They're ripping the p1ss out of their customer base. Done. Could have advertised to all of us that this mode is getting phased down before we all invested 50 dollars into this piece of ❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Go fk yourselves ea. Fifa fut 17. Career mode ages 8 thru 12. Fuming.
I'd be absolutely loving this game if the opponents would just attack smarter. Too easy to defend.
I have, however, adjusted the sliders to make for a pretty fun experience. CPU shot error at 35, shot speed at 57, GK at 60, run frequency at 80, fullback positioning at 55.
These sliders don't make the CPU any smarter, but they do make more runs and have more successful shot attempts.
Try it out if you are bored at legendary. Not a perfect fix by any means, but I am enjoying the game like this.

Did you adjust only these sliders or another one?
Those were the biggest changes I made, but there were a few others. I made the CPU play more narrow, a higher line, and the lines closer together. It makes it harder to find space, and harder to create chances.
I've been messing the sliders for a while now and found a setting that really made it more of a challenge. The CPU will tightly mark while keeping it compact and making more runs. It's not the ideal solution but look at it as a temporary one.

Give it a try and let me know what you think. You can always use it as a template and then tweak it to your taste.
Could be all in my head and got to do with the fact I've not plaayed in 2 days but yeah I as just starting to think of agreeing with this thead as I went a a huge undesfed run in my Preston career mode and was comfortabely in the play offs. Today I played 6 games on legendary, drew 3 and lost 3 and now out of the play offs. Which I am happy with because it was more challenging for me today and gives me a new challenege to go on a end of season run to earn a play off spot and challenges are what make games fun.
Don´t expect this to be fixed in next couple of years. AI is not prioritzed when the cash comes from Pokemon (FUT). Gives us a real fotball game FFS!!!. A simulation, realism. Not this arcady BS!!
We can only hope that EA has noticed this large thread, and plan to do something about this problem in FIFA 18. If they throw FUT in the trash can, and focused solely on creating the ultimate fotball experience, we would have a simulation (no arcade) with realistic AI. The problem with that approach is that they will lose 90 % of their fans, who rather play pokemon (aka FUT) and score goals from 40 yards with Neymar. I blame the customers more than I blame EA. 99 % of the customers play with assisted controls and on semi-pro.
Rated E For Everyone.

Harder. Why?
Still too easy to cut in off the wings. CPU gives you way too much time and space. CPU still can't attack very well. Needs to be fixed.
Playing footy manager from here on out.
Glad I traded it in for Witcher 3. I'm really disappointed in not having a football fix this year but I just can't play FIFA 17.

The GK's now pull off worldies, making super reaction saves.
The CPU team has more shots. Brighton had 16 shots in my last game.
This summarizes the whole problem with FIFA´s AI.
Hillarious. I gave up. Playing fm17. Won't give them another cent.
