PES 2013's Scripting Issues

I recently picked up PES 2013 as my efforts with other PES/FIFA's went fruitless, and i absolutely love the game. But recently i've not played it at all due to it's very frustrating and blatant scripting.

Whenever i score a goal in any difficulty over 3, it's as if the AI's code goes from "Play normally" to "Complete bullshit" in a matter of seconds. I've seen countless videos (and also experienced firsthand) of the AI doing this and it's annoying as hell. You score a goal and not 10 seconds later they instantly run past all your defenders and score the most outrageous goal in existence. Whenever you tackle them or kick the ball away, the ball always lands back on their feet and your players purposefully let them pass and score. And my GK is seemingly on the other teams payroll as he lets every ball in. I've even had it at one point where i had 2 PLAYERS harassing their striker until he fell, and he somehow managed to kick the ball over Bluetooth or some shit and scored.

And this also goes the other way, if im ever losing the AI purposefully play like idiots and let me score. Normally this would be fine, but it's so blatant that it takes the excitement from scoring away. Imagine the insane matches you could have, trying to secure a 1-0 win or trying to make a comeback... But no, the AI plays as if a draw/loss is the only outcome allowed and it sucks the fun away.

Playing on a lower difficulty solves this, but anything below 4 is just a steamroll from my end and i win almost every match by at least 3 goals which isn't too enjoyable either.

Have you guys ever had to deal with this? Is it even possible to fix this?
 
Can confirm this happens especially the AI letting you score as you magically breeze past their defenders suddenly where beforehand they were like cyborgs stopping you.

Are you playing on PC? I'm using gameplay tool with AI set to 2 and AI balancing set to on and superstar level. I haven't played a ML yet just exhibition and CL games anyway there is a improvement such as the AI not being so clinical but it's not perfect some bs still happens just less often

I know its annoying when someone says 'get good' but thats the only true way to overcome the BS being dominant as much as possible and by grinding with things like setting the attack and defence levels during the game, having multiple gameplans such as park the bus, wingers stood on the byline to pull the AI open so when they win the ball their teams all at sea and you can isolate and double pressure button their player to win it back quickly high up the pitch , clearing the ball out of play for throw ins any chance you get when defending basically try and frustrate the AI minimize their chances to cheat you, you won't stop it 100% but reduce it enough you can get the win from those matches

sometimes the AI when dribbling will ghost through your tackles but a good way that works better stopping them is have a player with the 'lunging tackle' index card maybe CDM and have him slide a fraction early from the side basically laying down infront of them (if you get what I mean) usually the AI will stumble over you or it will trap the ball off them
