I'm particularly interested in how the AI plays and whether there's clear distinction between AI teams and AI players within a team.
Do different AI teams play with genuinely different tactics and are these different tactics actually effective in their own ways, or does the game resort to a limited set of "go to" moves to get a goal (eg. the horrible PES 70 yard laser-guided ground pass straight to the always unmarked striker, perfect control, turn, shoot into top corner, no matter the players' stats).
Do different AI teams play differently in defence - ie. some are very organised whereas others are a bit looser/more disorganised. Or is it just effectively the same defence you are playing against every match, with different coloured kits?
Do AI teams play to edited tactics you configure for them, including individual player instructions?
Do lower rated AI teams stay low rated (for the entire match) when you play against them with a higher rated team, or do they get a rubber-banding boost to create a more level playing field?
Do AI players play to their individual stats, so you can see difference in strengths and weaknesses within a team, or is it simply the overall team overall rating determines how well they play, not the abilities of the individual players, with strength and weakness across the pitch?
eg. if an AI team has a low rated RB and a high rated LB, can you tell the difference when attacking down each flank?
eg. some AI players play very accurate passes but other AI players in the same team with lower passing stats misplace passes (and does the AI ever misplace passes?)
eg. a highly rated striker may be lethal in front of goal but a low rated striker in the same team will more likely mess it up ~(do the AI ever really mess up shots, miskicks, etc?)
Would be very interested to see if AI do genuinely adjust their tactics and approach according to current scoreline (or if AI is losing, does it just do the PES thing of giving itself a boost and handicapping your players - ie. it's nothing to do with tactics, all to do with cheap cpu cheating).
Do the AI dribble and try different things, or all just ping-pongy ground passing?
Any headed goals? Is crossing a worthwhile tactic?

not paying 4 bucks for a fifa21 demo (but there is more in EA access you could have fun with). from the videos i saw (waiting for more impressions here) its not much different to last year. i guess i have to wait (and pray) for "true" ng sports games next autum! both titles (all the sports titles!!)!
This is quite stupid that you know you won't enjoy it but still can't wait for it. Autumn = FIFA/PES, so maybe this is why..
