Help. Suddenly Can't Find a Way to Play
I've been in the SAME division for the past couple of weeks, with the SAME team, SAME formation, SAME custom tactics (if it even matters) But for the the past few days, I just can't seem to cope wit...

Nothing to do with FC points. Nothing to do with tactics if there hasn't been a patch.I played a different squad, different formation, for objectives then switched back to my preferred team and it was all good again. However I did upgrade my preferred team with a couple of players with better playstyles to really notice the difference.
hmmmm... your solution, if it works, would kinda suggest there's a hidden "morale" element. Many FIFAs ago, there used to be a "morale" element (similar to fitness) where if your team lose, your players' morale drop and the more it drops, the more sluggish they become... then you get stuck in the rut until you switch your players or happen to play against a sadder team...
@v3ry_n00b Maybe you could look at it like that.
I think there are many factors that could contribute to your team not performing as it used to. Obviously if they fall below the power curve and your opponent plays a really strong team is the main one. But I find sometimes putting a slightly weaker team out in order to play objectives/evolutions causes my team to perform a bit better.

Yeah thanks... I switched around a bit (played SB a bit, partly also cos thats an easier way to clock some of my evo requirements)... do seem to at least start getting a few trickle of wins on rivals...
Recent rut aside... what I still don't understand is how, many of the other teams' AI players seem to be more intelligent than mine...
When I try to attack, as soon as I move the ball near the halfway line (could be on the flank or in the middle), the opponents will crowd out my player with the ball, and at the same time cut off my passing options (even the backward pass option), and I inevitably will lose the ball. If I manage to somehow work the ball to the opposing penalty area, there will be minimally 3 defenders already there, and again, I have no option or angle to pass or shoot.
When they attack, their players provide multiple passing options and make smart runs, while I painstakingly try to toggle between my static AI players to pull them into position to block passes, mark players, or close down the player with the ball, which is of course, not possible.
It isn't because they are using better players. I also try to pack my team with defenders and CMs with high def WR and high interception and defensive awareness but yet they don't defend as intelligently.
Doesn't seem to be custom tactics either. I've tried multiple things here, but nothing seems to achieve this. It isn't constant pressure either, cos, ⚽ their players don't end up more fatigued than mine, 🏈 the defending is really intelligent, and not simply hounding every player with the ball, and 🏀 they don't end up breaking their defensive line and get pulled out of position (i.e. when I get the ball to their penalty area, defenders are already well positioned there)
So what is it? What really makes the AI players behave that much more intelligently?
- @v3ry_n00b It is designed that way. The harder the difficulty setting the way more advanced the AI is with positioning, response times, skills and all their stats get boosted.
erm no... this is for the online modes, rivals, champs, etc... the opposing player's AI just moves around more intelligently than mine...
