First, it is not the Research because it is not confirmed by tests (in a kind of their impossibility) and, in general, any special efforts for studying of a question has not been undertaken by me (therefore a lot of screenshots is not expected, as you can see all this facts within one match personally).
It is attempt of the answer to a question like "Why my FM-player under which it is written Henry cannot finish at least one of 1-on-1 from ten?", or: "And what is the main reason of these 1-on-1?"
I analysed playing of AI defenders. All that described below is a generalisation of my own supervision and impressions from a long enough period (in particular some things have been noticed in 07th, some are actual only for 8.01), accordingly, this cannot and is not any definitive true.
1. P without ball (PwoB) vs running P with ball (PWB)
PWB stay. Where will run PwoB? Sure. There, where PWB is staying
”it's incorrect!” - you will say! ”PwoB should consider speed and a direction of PWB movement. It would be much better!”
”But that variant is easier”, - I will respond.
And more: PwoB should consider position on the field and at first try to cut PWB a direct way to goal, and then choose a correct position”, - you will add.
"it is not correct!” - you will say!. ”Potentially F2 position is more dangerous”, - you will add.
”But that variant is easier”, - I will respond.
3. Defender has dropped out of a line.
Defender has escaped to put pressure or has not returned after corner or has broken or has lost to a football boot or smth else. What will do other defenders? Sure. Nothing.
