This, combined with significantly improved positional intelligence from AI attackers and ability to now tell them where you’d like them to make a run with the flick of the right stick, leads to many, many opportunities to score over the course of 90 minutes. It seems too easy at times to create openings with killer balls being played with ease all too often and needing little skill or vision to pull off. Almost too simple, as you create triangles of play towards the opposition box until a sight at goal appears.
