LOL this really swings from sublime to downright laughable. I suppose this isn't scripting at all either. I'm dealing with a through-ball over the top, the CPU's virtually only means of attack, I'm probably going to get to the ball first, oh, wait, the CPU has made my keeper rush out of his box without me telling him to.
Oh, wait. Now my keeper's just stopped outside his area. Oh, wait, now he's just standing there like he's forgotten what he's meant to be doing. Oh, wait, the CPU shoots pretty much a foot to the side of the keeper and he stands and does nothing but let it run past him. The game now finishes 1-1 when I deserved the win. I've improved my own game, and my ML team to the point where I rarely concede a 'footballing' goal, one where I was out-passed, pulled around, out-played. The CPU has little means with which to score against me now, and so I'm literally seeing shit like this every time I concede a goal. The game before this, I let in several goals in one match because the CPU kept screwing with cursor switching to the point that it was removing control of several players in a row as they went in for a tackle, then making them shuffle backwards away from the ball carrier.
So, in this example, the CPU played a lofted through-ball, then took control of my keeper and made him pretty much vacate the goal so it could just tap it into an empty net. Hmm. Nice to know you can rely on the game being fair in a vital ML match then.
Oh, and just so people know, my keeper was an 80-rated international goalkeeper on a yellow form arrow. Go figure.

It could happen in real life...maybe the goalie went out for a few beers the night before /end sarcasm ...its constant scenarios like this that made me un-install the game I really don't know how people put up with it
