Tackling still sucks

The tackling was supposed to have been made better, this is basically unnoticeable. I feel like my tackles are being registered a tiny bit better, but the animations are atrocious and just un-football-like. You get penalised for tackling, and the ball just rebounds straight back to the opponent. You could make three perfect tackles, and the ball still goes back to the opponent EVERY time, Which essentially forces you to stop tackling and just sit back, which then makes the game boring for both of you. (Shame the developers don't watch real football to be able to accurately produce a simulation of it.)

Sometimes when making a tackle with a CB, rather than making a normal, sensible tackle, the AI does the illogical thing and tackles the ball, dragging it toward my goal (rather than doing the normal thing and tackling the ball to push it away or at least in the opposite direction). Then, the AI fumbles the tackle (despite it being perfectly timed and angled AND HAVING ANTICIPATE +) , falls forward, and essentially gives the ball back to the opponent. (Who has no CB to worry about and is free on goal because of the assistance provided by EA's incompetence?)

This happened to my 87-rated (Anticipate+) Saliba. Playstyle + makes the game aids, such an unnecessarily poorly thought-out addition (IMHO).
