AI difficulty change in Squad Battles

Today (about an hour ago) i went to play my 5 games for the Objective , and my guys are so sluggish and very slow , I cant break the line at all (couldnt realy before , but worse at the moment) , L1 dribbling is so slow and trash the AI just steals it . (normally L1 dribbling is fire, love it)

I play Squad battles 99% of the time, and im literally thinking of quiting the game today ....... because the AI difficulty seems to have been turned up alot since today....... im stuggling to get over 2 goals in one game on Proffesional , which i play almost all the time (world class on teams with 0 chem or under 80 rating)  it changed literally today!!! ive been playing at least 5 games a day (for objective, and cracked 700 FC24 Squad battle games today)  the difference between this months/week's play ... and today ... is so drastic , its smashed my confidence. Nothing worse than improving consistantly , then one day "Bang ... you suck" , that just kills your mojo. I was getting 8 - 9 goals a game and thinking to push up to World class ...... but im going backwards???

I played the 5 today , and i lost my first Pro Squad battle game today 1 - 3 , first time ive lost a Squad battle this Fifa (FC24)  The AI is all over me coming in Hot with hard slide tackles constantly , constant fouls with no cards , and Fast .... realy fast , compared to my team they are. Almost all my team are sweaty and in the mid to high 90's ( all 3 attackers 98+ Pace)  but play like they have pace of 50 - 60's?

Something 100% changed today , ive never seen the AI link together 2 too 3 skill moves in a row on Pro Difficulty , normally i dont even see 1 per game.

Im a casual player ( i play alot, but just play basic , no skill moves etc. As i play just for fun) , but i do play enough to notice a change like this , gonna play another 5 and see if it changes. But those first 5 were torture , not fun at all. And if its not fun whats the point?

And has anyone else noticed this today ?
