AI defending vs Manual defending + state of the game.

I just don't understand how this game works anymore, I feel like they are now referring to the announce trailer of the game and trying so hard to do the opposite, we were promised a balanced, fun and fair experience and right now it's all about counters, CM/DMs circling around and that's it, manual defending is punished mostly, attacking AI is garbage and even rebounds which you guys said "we've spent hundreds of hours on" is now back to the same stupid state it was back on FC25.

This Gameplay team needs to be changed, period.
They promised to listen and fix and all we got was just utter ignorance and random patches that only made the game miles worse even from the Beta version.

The second they announce a patch to change something it ruins tons of other stuff and they just call it a day, nothing gets reviewed or "monitored" as they claim.

Game is not competitive, balanced nor fun and it will always be like that if the same incompetent people get the chance to continue working on the game.

Completely agree on most points. Especially the game not being competitive, balanced or fun. Manual defending should be rewarded not penalized!

Agree

the fact I only lose games who never swap off of their attackers and just chase me down for 80 yards with Sophia Smith and holding R1 and they win the ball every single time, this company should be ashamed of themselves its almost like not a single one of their employees actually play the game and their main goal is to see how much phycological abuse the player base can handle. I am so tired of stats not mattering on cards and playstyles being so broken that women who would weigh 130 lbs. in real life and are about a foot and a half shorter than my defenders yet they physically bully men who would be 215 of muscle and are 6'5" yet here comes dei ea with the 5'7" women throwing the men to the floor like they are a marvel superhero this game has been a joke every since women have been added to ultimate team let alone the playstyle mechanic is even more broke when they claimed they'd be making stats matter more just like their claims to remove ai defending yet its stronger than it was in any other fc or FIFA game. Company full of liars who their main goal at the end of the day is get children addicted to opening packs so they can get their big spenders early addicted.

It is literally me playing my opponents ai when i lose games the amount of time i witness people stop playing all together because the have completer faith that no matter what i do the ai will close me down because its what your idiotic development team has done to this game, imagine for the first time in literally years the community complimented you for your game when you released it and then you went and ruined it for these brain dead idiots who are taking pills to stabalize their brains so they need the ai to come clean up for them completely going back on all the promises you made during your trailer and release announcement and going against the majority FAN opinion for some CASUALS not even surprised its a Canadian branch of EA you idiots are in a backwards society its programmed in your flawed country
