I must have an entirely different version of the game to the vast majority of this board then, maybe it's because I'm still on the 360.
However you used the phrase "passing and build up play", now I have just put this to the test to prove the point to myself that I am infact not going insane;
I have just been able to three times, consecutively from kick-off run with my striker (Jovetic, so not exactly Aubemayang like-pace), past all 4 of my opposition defenders, and his 3 midfielders, simply by slightly changing direction whilst running, and put the ball in the back of the net.
I will choose to not exploit this, as I prefer to play an actual football game with "passing and build up play", the same can't be said for the other cretins who frequent FUT.
Maybe the game plays differently on Xbox one, Very dissapointed.
