Squad Battles too hard
I've been dealing with this problem for the past few months. I am used to scoring easily against world class difficulty but now I can't score at all and I can't defend. No matter what tactics. The C...

Whoever decided that you needed 10 corners for maximum points is an idiot, a pure and simple idiot.
Hey players, don't bother scoring, we want you to purposely miss the goal because in our warped world of football, winning 5-0 is much, much. much better than winning 10-1 because we have the intelligence of a stuffed iguana.
This version is just crap and it's broke. Period.
I am strictly speaking from the World Class difficulty perspective. Yes, I know people have suggested playing on Legendary, but for many reasons, that difficulty just does not work for me. I feel they script too many advantages to the AI, especially their scoring attacks. In past versions (pre FIFA 2021), many have argued that Legendary was easier than WC, and I somewhat agreed. But since they fixed the WC difficulty (I want to say starting in FIFA 2021) and obviously made it easier than Legendary, that became the difficulty suited for me in having fun and obtaining Elite 1 (without having to play all matches).
I cannot believe since its release, EA still has not toned down the AI's defensive tackling ability. They basically took the dribbling aspect out of the game. AND they still won't make ANY of your rebounded shots (whether off the goalie, defender, or post) go back to one of your players for a 2nd chance shot. This aspect is so freaking obviously scripted, it's pathetic.
If you win a WC match against any 80+ rated team 5-0, you should automatically get at least 2000 points. Some matches against low 80 rated with a 5-0 win, result in less that 2000 points. This is because they factor in the 10 corners plus 10 shots on target in order to obtain the significant extra points. In some matches the AI is too fast, possessive, and all around too good. Along with the too short 4 minute halves and their generous / completely useless 1 minute stoppage time, it's just near impossible to get the 10 and 10 or even remotely close to it. Add the fact that they no longer offer a Team of the Week match, it's very difficult to obtain Elite 2.
I am in no way claiming to be the best at this game, but I am experienced enough to win almost every match at World Class difficulty (finally) and reach 5 goals in most matches. With this, Elite 1 should be obtainable. ADD MORE MATCHES !!!
Again, this version is just crap. I am completely disappointed. No way I will purchase FC 26 without first seeing on forums if there are Squad Battles changes. FIrst and foremost, slow the AI speed and tone down their tackling ability. Most of all, increase the number of weekly matches from 12 to at least 20.
