AI is too strong in rivals

Would you make a huge change and stop helping out players with AI that is way to powerful

people need to learn and understand that they are not a certain division rivals player as they are being boosted up by overpowered AI practically playing the game for them. There AI is blocking everything going, because it’s the computer it’s knowing exactly where your input is etc to counter what you are doing. 
I understand AI needs to be involved, but allowing real players to just choose the CDM and let the defence save them is not the way to help these players get better

this needs to stop, and allow people to know they they are still in the learning stage and are rubbish compared to veterans playing the game and need to be in lower rivals divisions. 

they are easy to beat, with the exceptions to the AI helping far to much to help them improve. It doesn’t help anybody

    Would be nice if offense was manual. Now that they have the master switch you would think it would be manual at least for rivals and wl. 

    People actually avoid headers and pass for the tap in as it’s not manual.

    @Oldman_Sparky_YT See this all to often when people stack their defences and don't move/ select anyone and just let the AI do the work. Like you say those using OP AI to do the work should in some way be to realise this is not how the game is meant.

    EA need to shoulder this as a big no no going forward as they haven't changed it since day one.

    For me personally, squad battles sum up the problem we've got this year with overpowered AI. I understand that in squad battles the sliders need to be adjusted based on the difficulty you choose, but when you're playing on world class (I could play higher but i'm not wasting my time chasing the ball for 90% of the game on legendary) and you've got 80 pace players absolutely burning 99 pace players, and 99 strength players unable to outmuscle players with 70 strength or lower... you've got a big problem.

    It's also clear from playing squad battles that a foul by a user controlled player and a foul by an AI player are two completely different things on this game. I can brush past someone or box them out perfectly and its a freekick, but i can also get dragged back the whole length of the pitch, or get bulldozed when i'm through on goal but if its an AI player that's done it there's never a freekick given.

    All of this in isolation wouldn't be THAT big a deal as most people don't play squad battles religiously and games are still easily winnable, but what's concerning is these broken custom tactics that a large % of the player base are using in rivals and champs are allowing that same overpowered AI to to play for them. If you're playing a game where you just pick your tactics and watch the AI do 90% of the work for you then you might as well be playing football manager

    It needs a big rethink because there's certain things about this game that are really enjoyable but the overpowerd Ai / "Auto" defending has been a problem from the word go this year and nothing has been done to address it. Its really ruined what could have been a good game

    I onestly don’t know how to make my AI play, win games for me. I would be verry happy if someone explained it to me. Because all I do is struggle. I don’t feel AI is helping.

    @SirCarbonara It's certain player/custom tactics combinations that do it but in all honesty you don't want to go down that route. Defending is just as much of a part of the game as attacking is, just defeats the point of playing in the first place if the AI is doing half the job for you

    Go into the settings and make sure all the settings are not on manual.  This helps you ping pong the ball around and shoot. They should be set to that by default but you might of changed them by mistake if you never check them.

    @Cam3131 Agreed, also, all this additional modes like power ball etc, we don't bloody need those. You want to start wondering why the paying customer thinks the game is feked??? These idiotic modes, whats to say that programming hasn't affect the main game play? We don't need power ball plus infinity modes. We don't need Street mode, we don't need stupid versions of pro players shirts. Get back to basics. MAKE A FKN FOOTBALL GAME.
