I have the same issues with you
It feels like no matter how far ahead my strikers are defender always catches up to them. Its almost like my striker slows down whenever he receives the ball and defenders get a speed boost or something.
Somebody please explain this mechanic or bug.
This actually has been a bug for like 6 years and EA just doesn't fix it. The only way I have found to make Legendary fair game play is to tune the Simulation settings. making all user stats increase and decrease CPU. which it shouldn't be. When I play with factory settings even when my player has increased stats currently from progression they sub out or trade the best players on the team and players will just dribble back to their own net. outside midfielders who do not make any dynamic runs, just dribble back toward their own goal to pass it to left back or right back. it is a cycle where they will pass between 3 players. (I use to enjoy playing Be a Pro mode, and only playing as my character). I usually play this when my internet is down and I'm playing offline, but for 6 years I've felt this has been the same thing on Career mode.
