not sure if this has been brought up already, but I have been running into a couple of issues with AI.
Most notably it more often than not happens that NPC players are passing stupidly to opposing team members. sometimes they are targeting their own team members where an opponent simply happens to block the route (which basically is okay). but even more often my team mates simply pass the ball to the enemy for no apparent reason. they also fail to recognize team mates who are standing completely free, too often.
that applies to the goalie as well who directly passes the ball to an opponent right in front of his own goal - which often results in a goal against him. and it applies to throw-ins, where the ball hardly ever is being properly thrown to a team mate without an opponent snatching the ball right from his feet.
additionally AI players very often fail to score at penalties. i experienced around 20 or 30 pens so far, from which more than half didnt result in a goal. either because the AI player misses the goal completely or simply shoots in the middle after which the goalie has no difficulty saving. the goalie btw hardly moves while a penalty is being shot at his goal. he should at least choose a side and jump there.
that all happens while using the default engine.ini.
I tried fiddling around with the player passing AI values, but the only result i get from that is that players tend to dribble a bit longer on their own before passing, nevertheless very often handing the ball directly to an opponent.
