Can't get how to improve

Another thing I have noticed is that in some cases player selection becomes impossible.
In the sense that although I have a very good ping, no matter how hard I try to select a defender with either the stick or the button, he will always be picked up after he has been passed by the opponent.
Kind of like it becomes impossible in some situations to cover a dangerous situation preemptively, almost like always leaving the anxiety of conceding the goal.
Other times, however, I find that when the opponents try to make the move to get a finesse shot from outside the box, the selection with the button almost always takes me the player farthest away from the action, and never the one close by, so that it makes it impossible for me to defend, and I am almost certainly forced to concede a goal.

Does this strange mix of situations happen to anyone else, or just me?

This is the game. It’s bad. EA Sports knows it. EA Sports won’t fix it.

But are you sure they know about these things?
Because if so, to me it would really seem like a deliberate choice on their part to make the game look almost driven, and that it is no longer a game where ordinary players can compete in a healthy way.
A kind of machine meant to create frustration and addiction.
I can't believe that this is deliberately chosen, not least because I'm not sure it's even legal!
I expect these things to be fixed. Come on there is no way this is a company choice!

EA won't change a thing because idiots still throw money at them.
