*▫️NEW CONTENT COMING; Details below about Project ‘PL REALISM’👇🏽👇🏽▫️*

After playing on Legendary & Ultimate difficulty (Career Mode) for so long I’ve found matches are not challenging Ir competitive enough anymore; Most team’s don’t press/gengen press properly, AI just jogging around or ball-watching, defending and attacking with no urgency or intent, lack of attacking runs or not attacking in numbers etc.
AI defence don’t react or engage quick enough - they don’t follow runners, slow jog, react late to intercept the ball or to cover spaces etc - Matches just felt one-sided with attack (me) vs defence (CPU) each game.


🔺PROJECT “TEAM REALISM”🔺

Due to this I’ve decided to take on a huge project of making a whole host of changes to all PL teams TACTIC’S, STYLE’S and PLAYER INSTRUCTION’S to make them play more realistically and challenging.

I’m currently in the process of going through every PL team and upgrading, testing and optimising their ‘Team tactics’ & ‘Player Instructions’ to try to mimic their real life counterparts as much as possible; **For example I’ve changed Liverpools tactics to ‘Constant Pressure’, increased their ‘Depth’ to 90 and adjusted their Player Instructions to better-match how they press and attack in real life (eg gengen pressing, high line + fast attacks etc)** - This has made a huge difference in game…They now play exactly like they do in real life, hence me getting smashed 4-2 for the first time ever against them with their new tactics!
They constantly pressed me all over pitch, intercepting passes and playing fast attacking football like they do in real life.

In addition to this I’m also going through every PL team and increasing specific PLAYER ATTRIBUTE’S (eg Positioning / Reactions / Aggression / Interceptions / Vision / Passing / Dribbling etc) for each teams TOP players - upgrading on average 6-8 players for each team - in order to upgrade players to play better and more realistic and to better-match their real life counterparts.

EA significantly *nerf* team defending in Fifa (due to them wanting online/Ultimate team goal fests) and this really dumbs down the players and AI in-game; You can literally see a 3 second delay in defenders reacting or running into a sprint when chasing a player.

So to fix this I’m also increasing players attributes to make them play better and smarter and more real-life like. There’s now less scripting in-game and AI players are now acting and playing better with intent in defence & attack.

I’ve just completed V1 of my ‘Team Realism’ changes to ARSENAL’S Formation, Team Tactics & Player Instructions to match how they are in real life; I still have some further tweaks to do to some player attributes to perfect them but the changes so far are looking good.

Here’s a 15 min clip of how they look. As you see in the clip Arsenal passed and moved the ball around the pitch well with good tidy possession and attacked with inverted wingers in Saka & Martinelli, so I think I’ve got them playing more like real life Arsenal.

Their team style and team-play now flows much better and more realistic with these changes below;

- Tierney playing as Wing back and pressing/tackling aggressively high up the pitch and providing width and crosses ✅
- Good tidy pass & movement interplay around the pitch ✅
- Partey midfield destroyer with aggressive tackles ✅
- Ødegaard midfield maestro & playmaker ✅
- Saka & Martinelli being the outlets & inverted attacking runs with intent ✅
- Lacazette dropping deep to link up forward play ✅


None of the above were happening previously with FIFA’s default tactics.…. No more static AI players ball-watching or pointlessly jogging around!
There’s now movement with INTENT all around the pitch in defence and attack with the few tweaks I made to their tactics & player instructions and it’s a huge difference compared to before…these changes have breathed life into matches that was solely missing before.

Unlocking Fifa with these changes has really changed the game. It’s like applying gameplay mods for PC games, but for consoles.
It’s just a shame we can’t have this as an official option in the game, but at least you can make changes yourself with a bit of time and dedication.

Once I finish applying, testing, analysing and fine-tuning each teams upgrades I will post snippets of games to showcase their new team styles & player behaviours where you’ll see teams and their players playing much more like they do in real life.

FYI- These aren’t the final builds yet, I’m still testing each team with their new tactics and making adjustments as I go along so let me know where you think I can improve them.

Keep an eye out for my videos on each PL team and their respective new styles and tactics.

Enjoy✌🏽
