I don't know if this a bug or not, but almost every time I play a game, especially away, the other teams always beat me at possession and their central midfielders average something between 70-120 passes per game, and my midfielders only 40-60.
I mean there's a big difference between AI team midfield passes and my team's passes every game.

Here are some pictures to see what I mean:

Just look at the number of passes made by the 3 Club Brugge midfielders.
And my team's number of passes.
I play a normal 4-4-2 formation.

Is this happening in your games too? If you are a big team who plays small teams, is it normal for those stats?
I mean, I enjoy winning, but to be outclased by every team in midfield no matter what tactic I use it doesn't seem right to me.

Im no expert Bob, but there may be a few reason's for this, looking at the stats it looks like Brugge were playing a defensive formation with the players with the most touches being the defence, which tells me the were time wasteing and knocking the ball about in there 3rd of the pitch, my guess is that you wer'nt closeing down high up the pitch hense why they had so much possesion.In game's like this i'd play a higher DL and heavy closeing down and force there player's to play quicker..
But i would.nt say it was a bug, just tactical

But this happens in almost all games, and I use a very high closing down on my team tactics.
