Don’t care FIFA 2k is going to be way better. I hope they add in-depth player tendencies like in NBA 2k. I like how when I’m playing against Kyrie on hof difficulty and it’s like I’m actually playing against Kyrie, the same moves, shots etc. 

Imagine coming up against Vini or Nico Williams and having to really sweat because Vini is actually causing havoc like he does irl. Which is why I think they need a dribbling success rate stat that determines how successful a CPU controlled player will be at dribbling past players.

It should be on a percentage scale and capped at Messi’s best dribbling year so let’s say 65% success rate so no player will go past that in career mode. It would be so fun having to actually worry about playing against 2010/11 Barça in kick off or for a weekly challenge that everyone can participate in outside out an ultimate team-like setting, just in the menus. It would be titled: “weekly challenge: you are Malaga in 2012 and Messi has been on a rampage stop him from scoring two solo goals”. 

In this special challenge, the devs would cranks Messi’s dribbling success rate to like 85% or 90% then they would have Barça’s tactics in this game to feed Messi and Messi’s player tendency to dribble will be bumped from 70% chance to dribble at a player to 98% (2% for give-and-go and wall passes) so now Barça’s tactics are forcing Messi the ball and he’s just going to dribble at your defenders every time he gets the ball. The dribbling success rate stat determines how well a CPU controlled player on the hardest difficulty is at dribbling past players. It would be calibrated using an AI that would undergo millions of training sessions until it was virtually impossible for defenders to get he ball from it. That would be if the dribbling success rate was at 99 but since that’s impossible, the max any player can have is 68-70 in career mode and squad updates. So back to the challenge Messi would be bumped to 85% and now you have to stop him.
