The current state of AI defending means there's no point trying to defend manually any more. You're effectively punished for switching to a player too soon.
Games feel like an AI simulator where wins/loses feel arbitrary. It's not fun and not at all rewarding to play.
The gameplay might have been too open at launch but it was a lot more enjoyable than what we have now.

I think that's the worst part. I can deal with meta stuff but the game feels absolutely unrewarding to play and im not even talking about pack weight. Console delay is fc25 levels now and defensive AI is so overturned they play like they are doing lines of g-fuel. But hey lets monitor some more that will fix it.

" some players were relying on the defending AI and not taking defensive risks to win the ball, this let's some of us or some players control their CM instead of switching to defenders and just waiting for them to win the ball back somewhat effortlessly. This change will not completely remove those behaviors if someone wants to play this way. "
