Unintentional slowed runs

most likely you play against hacker it happen when you play against guy on pc is hacker i don`t know what hack they use i score 2goals or more they go menu pause game and after they become gods and me team is slow all over place and he score constant you can see game play change from mile but ea can`t fix hacking are more focus on store packs then fixing they Owen game

it does that against the AI in single player career mode, you hold down  to sprint only  to jog instead preventing you to reach important part of the pitch in time ,  and the opponent next to you seems to only jog while you  are holding  down the sprint button. i made a test my stamina was draining  because i was holding down the sprint but the speed was at jog speed,  letting go the spring button made the stamina recover and the speed was the same, so you are not faster only the stamina get drained.

This is deliberately implemented. EA want defenders to always catch up.

If that’s true then can someone from EA please confirm. It’s the most annoying/unfair thing in the world! I just played a champions UT match where it literally cost me the win because it happened once to a defender while trying to stope a breakaway and once when my guy was in the clear on his own breakaway. Both times my stamina was at 75% or better and should not have been the issue but my guy just suddenly starts running like he’s in sand. Is this REALLY part of the game design??? If so, why does it never seem to happen to my opponents?

It's like when you press l1 to get an ai player to make a run and they start running but when you play a through ball they stop the run...

Or when you receive the ball and try to use technical dribble to turn and my player acts like he's never seen a football before, or when defending and it feels like you are wrestling with the ai for control of your player.
