I have been playing EAFC and Fifa Ultimate Team games since its inception. I can confidently say that the current iteration of this game is the worst gameplay experience in all that time.
I cannot believe that you think this game is acceptable. Last year, EAFC 24. I was capable of winning 12 to 15 of my FUT Champs games and any loss felt like it was simply because the other player was better. This is absolutely not the case this year, games are decided by luck and by game momentum. The lesser player often comes out on top.
When it comes to gameplay, the game should be a fast paced, passing orientated football game. The game should reward manual defending. It should not be a viable playstyle to control just your defensive midfielder and run around waiting for your defensive AI to win the ball back for you.
If I successfully outplay my opponent, the games AI should not bail them out with an auto-block from a defender they were not controlling. If I trigger one of my offencive players to go on a run, the opponent should need to manually track that run, the AI of the opponent should not track the offence triggered run automatically.
It should not be possible for the opponent to keep the ball for prolonged periods of time just to run the clock down. Currently it is impossible to effectively team press.
In general, gameplay currently rewards the passive, defensive player and actively punishes the player trying to be proactive, attack, and defend manually. That is absolutely unacceptable and is the exact opposite of what an EAFC game should be.
Simply put, it isn't fun. Gameplay is the single most important aspect of EAFC and is currently the biggest problem in the game. Please address these issues as soon as possible.
EAFC currently feels like it strives to treat its playerbase with hostility and disrespect. It seems like you don't know how to manage the game. I would be happy to help if you would like to contact me to discuss more
