A couple of examples of the defensive issues that are still really annoying me post Live Tuning update.
The physicality is diminished, you can see the way Modric just slides off Thiago, not providing any kind of resistance. The CPU is also very passive in the 1v1, being so easily beaten and offering zero thrust to knock off the ball carrier or position correctly. It's like they just move out of the way now. They over commit to their position, yet don't offer anything when they get there. Argh.
Edit: Since posting, I've made one change to my slider settings which seems to be helping somewhat. I need to keep testing and it's obviously still an annoying issue, but on top of Speed at 60/75 and Acc at 48/53 to help counter it, I'm now dropping First Touch Error to 20/20. The thinking behind this change is to create more confidence in the CPU's ability to determine their distances from the ball/encourage them to make a tackle more often. I feel the change is a positive one and will keep testing. Definitely noticing more fouls, better challenges and a higher possession stat from the CPU since...
