@Izzy_FUT_Dubs Couldn't disagree more with this. I've played every fifa since Fifa 98, I've played Ultimate team probably for about 5 or 6 years now, and this game is without doubt the most automated game i've ever played
I've spent the first few seasons in Elite Div and i'm currently sat in Div 1 (Can't even be bothered trying to grind to elite) and literally EVERYONE in Div 1 especially uses automated defending. Games are decided by whatever random nonsense gets thrown at you. 70 strength players constantly bodying 95 strength players, pace matchups that make absolutely no sense, non stop bouncebacks every time you make a tackle, both players can have the same goalkeeper and one will let in shots straight at them while the other is like superman in goal, trivelas from absurd angles flying over a keeper who just stands and watches it, everyone abusing bugged routines at corners.
Some games your players will be reactive to everything you press and they'll move at superspeed, others they'll literally stand still when you try to move, the ball will cannon off them when intercepting or trying to control simple passes, right stick switching feels completely different every game etc...
Honestly, i've never been more disappointed by a video game in my life. It feels like everything within this game from the packs, the promos and the gameplay, are geared towards getting people to buy fifa points to get the most overpowered team they can, and then letting the AI do 90% of the work for them
