It could be an account thing, as I've had the same account since the Xbox 360 says.
But I remember last year starting a new account when EAFC 24 came to game pass but was still delayed/ bad gameplay. Of course I had a starter team but this delay is felt in the control of players, it's like something is constantly dragging or pulling away at my players. My opponents can control a CDM and let their AI defenders defend. When I control a CDM my defenders make space to let my opponents run through.
Also when I attempt a skill move it's so easy for my opponents to win the ball. I have watched a few people playing EAFC and it shouldn't be that easy. The opposition just locks onto my players.
The least tackles against me I've ever seen is around 40 average is 70 my most is 15. Just watching some clips most of the tackles come from the CBs being so tight to my strikers and automatically winning the ball. I've tried every tactic in the game including codes for high depth. My CBs never get close enough and unless I get control of them they move away from my opponents.
