Ai defending and Pressure

I've been playing FIFA since 2010 and Ultimate Team since FIFA 19, and this is by far the most boring and frustrating version I've experienced.

FC 25 allows players with no defensive skills to compete like pros, simply because the AI does all the work. Instead of rewarding skill, the game assists players who don’t even know how to defend manually.

I deleted my team a week after launch out of pure frustration, but came back later hoping things had improved — only to regret it again. In previous FIFAs, I could score and build up my attack freely. But in FC 25, even when I beat the controlled defender, 2 or 3 AI defenders instantly collapse on me and shut down any play.

Manual defending means nothing anymore. I’ve had games where I made 90 tackles while my opponent had just 7, and still lost — because their AI did all the work. They just sat back or spammed pressure, and somehow everything worked.

Every defender acts like prime Maldini. The AI blocks every angle, intercepts everything, and never gets tired. Meanwhile, real timing and decision-making don’t seem to matter.

This isn’t competitive football — it’s a game where AI control outweighs actual player input. Please address this.
