I could get my 7 wins in the first week when the early access when out, but only barely with a lot of struggling.But now, it seems that it is next to impossible to win in rivals, even when im having at every position players that are like 7 or 8 rating higher then my opponent.So, is anyone else having this problem too, or is it just me, and that im not that good anymore as that i was in the past?If anyone else is having it, what would you think is the problem that make it happen?For me it seems that whenever i press a button on my controller, i have to wait 0.5s to 1s before anything happens, especially on having a ping to my opponent of around 18ms or above.It seems that when having a ping lower then 10ms, then all seems relatively fine, but still i cannot win anymore.Also in fifa23, the last couple of months it was extremely hard to get my wins in rivals. So, what happened?Thanks in advance.

Since the Euros/Copa America update I have had precisely zero wins from about 25 games. Even with 99-pace players I am being outrun every time on both attack and defence. The passing is terrible and the defenders seem to be completely stoned and don't defend; half the time they run away from where they should be.Anyone who says that there isn't scripting or DDA in this game is lying to themselves. I've played every iteration since 1994 and am not exactly a bad player - I can usually take on Battles at World Class+ and win but in Rivals my players are about half as good.I sincerely hope someone else makes a football game...

Same... Maybe it's just me, but it feels like I'm playing the AI not real players, because they all play relatively the same, expertly keeping away from my players, while homing in on the ball like vultures to a corpse...* game is just as * as last year.

The AI is way too overpowered and protecting to many playersgame is a jokeits not a PVPits a who ever gets the best AI winsand because I don’t spend money, it seems I never get help

@Oldman_Sparky_YT I believe if your ai isn't working like your opponent then something is wrong. When I get my settings right and play online, I notice my ai Helps me too. When server is poor, my ai just do the weirdest things. Left stick dribbling goes to nshi, passes become aimless, shots are either over powered or under. Keeper keeps moving to much to the sides of goal etc.So it's not that the idea of the game is bad, it's that too much interfere with what they designed. From settings, to server to gameplay. Everything is off balance like an unfinished product.

Yeah same issue for me no idea what's going on in rival's only in division 7 feels like I'm playing people from division 3 or higher ...I'm usually a division 5-4 player every year....I'm not as good as I use to be but I'm getting battered like 6 or 7 nil in most games haha

Impossible to win in rivals for anyone else?

@maramsp1985Game just isn’t good and what makes sense doesn’t in the game. Also, you probably need to tweak your tactics bc what worked last game won’t work this game. Sadly this game is like 23 in all the worst ways just turned up another notch. This game is all about sprint, spam tackle, get beat, switch spam tackle, wash rise and repeat. It’s just a frustrating cheesy experience now that I’m angry more than I’m enjoying the game.
This is my first year playing FUT bc I used to be satisfied just playing seasons matches. Seasons is so bad this year I gave FUT a try. FUT is better but my god the game as a whole is just frustrating and not fun unless you play a certain way. Pay attention to what your opponents do and just copy them. Make sure your tactics are tweaked. Go to YouTube bc that’s where you have to learn what things are unbalanced etc. which is a shame.

You have to remember everyone is just starting so you are going to be playing pros in division 10. It usually takes a few months for divisions to settle. If you are having delay you can always run all the tests and look at the connection guide.

@Guiseley13 It's definitely been uber sweaty as of late. I've struggled a lot but have since evened out. It's in Champs that I get destroyed in. Lol
