Suggestion: Make non-controlled players (AI) smarter

Maybe I’m not using correct strategies, or it’s up to the sliders or player stats...(if so let me know), but I’ve found a majority of my frustrations come from teammates doing stupid or useless things.

Firstly, I saw someone mention teammates automatically attempting bumps when switched to... bumps that miss and play that useless stumble animation... that shouldn't happen, and animation should be scrapped or made slightly useful (like a another attempt, or a weak block/shepherd).

Secondly, my teammates run to me when there’s tons of space they should be leading to away from me. It could really open up the game (but maybe this is a tactic that I’m not using correctly - see video of forward line entry).

Thirdly - the change direction animation happens way too much. For NPC players, it shouldn’t happen as often, for controlled players we should have a jockeying option to give more control (but slower speed).

There‘s suggestions of more tactics (here, here and here)... and maybe some of these issues can be alleviated from those.

Here’s a video of some of these things, and what I’d like them to do instead.
