FIX WORLD CLASS

Yep, it's very risky playing a team rated 79 or higher on World Class these days, especially if the chem is 20 or higher. 

In my experience, playing an 88 rated 100 chem team on Legendary is easier than World Class.

Really?  Maybe I should try that.

I played 2 matches tonight against both teams that were 86 ranked.  Won the 1-0 against the one team with 31 Chem.  Lost 1-2 against the other team with 27 Chem.

They managed to completely break World Class difficulty, worse that it was 4-6 years ago when some people back then argued that Legendary was easier.  But in FIFA 21 - FC 24 versions, they FIXED WC to clearly be less difficult than Legendary, which it should.  This WC difficulty is frustratingly ridiculous when facing 80+ ranked teams.   AI never stops moving at full speed in any direction.  I can deal with that, but it's the tackling.  Just way too overpowered.  They expect you to always pass the ball in complete open space and keep that open space when attacking the goal at the speed the AI players move?  The open space won't happen, so you will be dribbling near them.  Can't do anything if they tackle and end up winning the ball EVERY time. 

I would just play Professional, but it's much easier to a fault and the points reward are too low, especially with just 12 + 2 games for points competition.  I have been playing WC for years and feel I shouldn't have to completely relearn this game and its strategies to just barely end up winning, if that.

World Class is still broke!

After playing this version since it was released, I still cannot get used to the speed and flawless tackling abilities of the AI.

Some matches, it's impossible to get through their defense because of their speed, recovery time, and 110% rate of tackling and winning the ball.

PLEASE FIX!

World class seemed fine before more recent patches, it does seem more difficult to get the 5 goals than at the start of the game. Never thought to try Legendary ...

Referring to teams that are 85+ rated, World Class has got more difficult.  Just when I began feeling a little comfortable and confident, I now don't. Again.

The AI's ability to keep winning the ball 100% of the time if their defenders get near your player possessing the ball is absolutely ridiculous.  Even if it's a sloppy tackle (not usually the case because most are flawless), the deflected ball ALWAYS goes in the direction of another AI player. The abrupt way those AI players stick out their leg instantaneously and knock the ball away from you is also frustrating.  It's completely programmed (scripted) for them to win the ball as often as they do.  There isn't another teammate to always pass to and with their immense speed, it's impossible to completely avoid them, so they usually end up within your space to make that flawless tackle AND WIN the ball !!  In regards to the passing, because of their ridiculous speed, it's also frustrating how many of your passes get intercepted and how often their players are already in the passing lane.

IMO, it's broke.  It's feels scripted to go against you. The movements are just too fast to process at times.  There are 2 other higher difficulties. Not sure why they had to mess with WC and make it as difficult as it is??  Professional can be the same way, but for whatever reason, you don't seem to lose the ball as easily.  When you do lose the ball, it seems much easier to win it back quickly. Not nearly the case in WC.

We've had some horrendous penalties awarded against us in SB games at World Class level, to either ruin the clean sheet or in a couple of cases, for the AI to draw level or win in the final moments of matches. 

Hoping this helps you bro with your squad battles. 

I get elite 1 nearly every week and when I play against the cpu my first thought is forget everything you know about playing against a real player. 

when i play squad battles i think it's normally like a system like I find myself dribbling less and passing a lot more because if you go within a certain radius of the cpu it's almost and instant tackle.  I found the 424 formation to be the most useful as it gives you a line of four players to keep shuffling the ball left to right within them four. I found for me thats the most consistent way of breaking down the cpu defence. 

as for defending never run at cpu just try to jockey and stay in front of them as the cpu can turn in ways that even pro players wouldn't manage. But that being said when the game wants you to concede your gonna concede no matter what you do. I often find this happens to me around the 4-0 mark as even if you score that 5th goal conceding that one hurts your points 

but i found since the patch squad battles has felt off like even if the cpu takes a weak shot my keeper will parry normally back to them feels like my keeper wont hold shots like he does in other games like rivals. 

felt spacing of players has been off like cm's really seem alternate on which one will come back and defend regardless of the role. 

hope this helps bro the game has been incredibly frustrating this year and every game can feel like a chore and a drag especially when its not rewarding. Good luck on squad battles this week 🙏🏻

World Class is still broke.  In fact, it got harder. My players are better ranked and it is still a struggle to score on teams rated 85+.

AI still moves ridiculously fast.  You get past them and no matter who your player is or who their player is, they easily ALWAY catch up and WIN the ball.

COMPLETELY RIDICULOUIS AND COMPLETELY BROKE.
