Well, they have been talking about drastically improving the game play AI, what I think is, before improve the AI of the game, KONAMI should spend more time to improve their own staffs, programmer, etc.. whoever make this game.rnClearly, there is a lot of changes in this version of the game compared to the previous one, the game play is much more smooth, passing, shooting, etc is near perfect. Also the COM AI is drastically improved for sure, they play better, smarter, and have more ways to beat you.rnHowever, it's still a total disappointment besides all the new good features that this game bring to the gamer, or me in particular. What I feel most frustrated when playing this game and also all other previous version is, not only you are trying to beat the COM, the COM is also trying its hard to beat you. Of course, that's the correct direction, computer become smarter and bring more challenges and excitement to us who play it. But, KONAMI has a bunch of idiot and lazy programmers, who don't care about analyzing and tactically improving the way that computer can beat human. All they do is thinking of how to beat us in a most **** unreasonable, unfairly and easy way possiblernExample? All the defenders on the team you control don't know how to play soccer, this is totally opposite to the COM defenders who play smart and have their skills dramatically "boosted". Your defender doesn't mark striker, they don't care about being attacked and just amazingly move away when the ball come near to them. Also whenever the opponent's mid field pass the ball to their striker, our defender will be forcefully move away from that striker by unknown super human power. Also not to say that it doesn't matter how many point they have for speed rating, their maximum speed is always always slower than opponent strikers, that damn striker just slowly dribble toward to goal and still there is no way for your defender to catch them even when they are running at max speed. And no matter how many defenders you have, even 4 vs 1 or 3 vs 1, it's always become 1-to-1 when they face the opponents striker. Why? because the moment you switch the control to other defender, the current one will be like out of battery, he will stop immediately doesn't matter how fast he is running, and slowly walk back, enjoy seeing how the opponent striker dribble toward to goal without any intention to stop him. So, there is no such thing as "team work" in KONAMI dictionary.rnWell, there are many more flaws in this game, and I think all is because KONAMI is too lazy to think of a different way to beat human player other than just play unfair and cheating. The higher difficulty level you select, the more stupid your player will become, that's simplernIn the end, another SUCK version for this year, I'm not surprised though, it's KONAMI tradition now.
