has ny1 else had this, it happens in probably lyk 75% of my games where the opposition CM's & Fullbacks have over 100passes usually with the 2 CMs having over 150 passes!! this is very unrealistic even Arsenal who do nothing but pass the ball wouldnt have that many, its impossible to do nything about it & it results in the opposition getting like 70-80% possesion
Also why do all the computer teams seem to all play a flat 4-4-2 formation with wingers farrows & a of the cms a barrow to CDM, its quite stupid the teams become super when they play it.
Please do not use text language, it is against the rule. You can adjust your tactics to deal with it, just look in the tactics forum and you should find an answer.
CSKA Moscow are very dominant (in the Russian league anyway) using a 3-4-1-2 formation and several of the other teams play formations like 4-3-2-1 or 4-1-2-1-2.

Sometimes I get that, but it seems very random most of the time - usually it is around 60-70 for my MCs but occasionally it skyrockets to 110-120, and I don't do much tinkering.

Watch one of your games in full 90 minute highlights to see what the oppo defence actually does. Maybe they play slow tempo, patiently waiting for your bored players to drift out of position.
When I use a DM playmaker he often makes 120 passes at 90%+ success-rate. It's not really that weird.

I think it's a known problem, although I don't know if it's being fixed or we are supposed to sounteract it. As phnompehnhandy says, watch a full match and you'll see the opposition defence just pass it amongst themselves time wasting. To counteract it just close down more or as Law_man said man mark some of the defenders.

That's not true as Man Utd, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Ac Milan tend to play 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 in my game.
Ridiculous amount of passes
