Gameplay differs a lot between online and offline modes

The gameplay in squad battles and career mode is great, no input delay, players play like they should (for example, smaller players with better dribbling feel very fluid and good on the ball), my players actually get the ball from tackles and my keeper makes saves.

As soon as i go into division rivals, there is input delay, players like salah and foden play like they are 7'2" with 20 dribbling, i make a tackle and the ball will pinball around before going straight back to my opponent and my keeper will always parry the ball straight to an attacker for a rebound.

I have turned off and changed settings that other people have said cause input delay, and for ONE rivals game it appeared to have worked, and then went straight back to being about 2 seconds of delay between my inputs and the action being performed in game, so this can't be an issue that can be fixed. this is just how the game has been coded. i even had the exact same thing in rivals on FC 24, input delay and bs gameplay.
