Clubs mode is no longer what it used to be.
In the past, just two players could defeat a team with 11 real players. But now, if the opposing team has more real players while your team consists of only a few real players and the rest are AI, you won’t have much of a chance to win the match.
This is because AI defense is extremely strong against a small number of real players, in addition to the slow player movement and poor passing in the game overall.
On the other hand, AI defense against a large number of real players can be easily broken with little effort since the AI cannot focus on multiple players at once. The entire opposing team will rush into the penalty area, making scoring chances higher, along with high possession and constant passing between them.
In previous FIFA versions, you could easily play long balls behind defenders or dribble past multiple players. Now, you can’t do that because your player will get exhausted quickly. If you're a skillful player, the game will slow down your movement the moment you perform more than one skill move. Suddenly, you’ll find yourself unable to sprint, and defenders will take the ball from you as if they’re teleporting with an aggressive burst of speed—it’s disgusting.
I spend most of my time playing Clubs mode, and I’ve noticed all these issues. Simply put, the game is unplayable. Even if you try to enjoy it, trust me, you won’t find any fun in playing.
That’s my opinion in short.
