Some parts of the game really bother me. Your defenders don't follow runners at all. I tried playing Naloli with Dortmund and Higuain basically scored at will because Hummels couldn't be bothered to track his runs. I also had a first touch from about the middle of the pitch go out of bounds for a Napoli throw in. Also, I find that the time from first touch to shot is too quick. Again, Higuain would get a pass and about half a second after having his first touch shoot across his body into the upper ninety. I realize I'm still adjusting to the new gameplay but I found those issues pretty annoying.

Noticed this last night, too.

Game 1) Liverpool: won 4-2 against City. Defending was all around terrible, and my goals likely would not have gone in IRL.

Game 2) Chelsea: 1-1 (4-3 Penalties) against City. This time both of the goals would have likely been saved IRL (mine went straight at Joe Hart's face and all he did was stare at it and then turn around and watch it go in the goal).

Game 3) Chelsea: 3-0 against City. 2 Legit goals and the Drogba midfield prayer. I think I started getting the hang of defending again. However, it's still extremely difficult to dispossess the CPU. I essentially won possession from missed shots or winning crosses.

***Random side-note: There was at least 1 player injured in every game. That could/would get annoying really fast.
