difficulty needs adjusting

hey. Is it just me finding the difficulties outrageous?

First off, the step up from professional to world class is miles. It's like playing a completely different game.

Secondly, I've played thousands of games now and I can say with complete certainty that legendary is easier than world class.

I routinely beat the squad battles ai on legendary comfortably, 6-7 goals pet game.

Once you score the ai just kind of falls apart.

But on world class I get completely manhandled by a bronze team, the press is actually traumatizing and not a single gap open up to attack throughout the whole game.

It feels like legendary takes more risks and rewards defending by opening up space to counter.

World class plays some strange prime Dyche Burnley park the bus gegenpress hybrid and it's just unplayable

Am I the only one having this experience?

This is pretty misleading and the actual difficulty progression is backwards. For anyone new to the game taking the step up from professional to world class. .

My thoughts are with you.

  • No, for most of us, World Class is more difficult than supposedly higher levels.

    Don't know how I missed this info 5 weeks in but looks like I'll be playing all on Legendary this week then.

    All of my 12 games... Don't know how I'll find the time...

  • What is also clearly incorrect is the SB small print statement that (and I'm paraphrasing here) the opponent's difficulty level is based on their team chemistry. That is clearly not the case, eg playing World Class against an 87 team with 5 chem should be 'easier than plsying an 87 team with 33 chem. But, in my experience, the 5 chem team will be a much more difficult proposition.

    Don't know how I did not see this post earlier.

    I 100% completely agree that the difficulty between Professional and World Class is too great.  World Class in this version is a complete joke.  Teams rated in the low 80's or higher is where the problem is.  The AI just moves too fast.  Period.  I have posted about this numerous times and many others have the same sentiment.

    I don't know why EA feels the need to not address this.  As of Jan. 13. playing on WC difficulty is still broke.  They need to either slow down the AI movements and make it so that when they change direction it is NOT at the same super speed as the previous direction (totally defying the laws of physics and making it extremely hard to anticipate their movements) OR they need to stop having the AI make defensive tackles 100% of the time no matter the angle and no matter the distance. I prefer both tweaks, but could accept at least one as a solution.

  • WHEN are you going to fix WORLD CLASS DIFFICULTY ea?  WHEN ??  IT'S STILL BROKE !!!

    AI TACKLING IS STILL TOO OVERPOWERED!

    It’s crazy. Playing the bronze team in world class is harder than the featured squads on legendary. 

    Agree that legendary seems generally easier to play against but then I tried one of the 90 plus full chem teams on legendary and it was all a blur!
