Try it on Superstar you might change your mind, it's a big step up from Top Player. If you remember what scripting was like in Pes 2013 it's quite similar . . . . pulling your defenders out of the way etc. but that's just my opinion.
I respect your opinion and I'm also having the best games I've ever had, totally absorbed in it.
Why not playing top player then? I downdraded the difficulty level and I am enjoying the game so much more. The lower the difficulty the less the scripting, surprisingly it is still competitive
