Squad Battles too hard

They've shown they don't care about squad battles time and time again. They reduced the gamemode to an extra ''side game'' by limiting the matches to only 12(+2). The gameplay is down right cheating it's way to get goals, animations at 5000 km/h, the tackle passes, the dumbing down of the players defense like them doing their best to run the AI onside. 

It's hilarious how trash this game has become. Its like they asked an AI to code their game. 

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.

Honestly the game is trash but just a few things I learnt from my squad battles game is dont play like your playing a real person  the cpu can be rather bad or insanely good at a very quick flip of a coin.  

i find breaking the cpu down offensively really depends on your patience i personally feel i have to make so many passes just to get a good look on goal. 

On the defensive side try not rush a tackle i spend most of my time jockeying for the right position when on squad battles i hardly use second man press as the minute your out of position boom they make an instant impact pass that normally results in a goal. 

tactically i do recommend the meta 4231 and high depth and counter passing. 

the game truly sucks bro but i hope this helps good luck with your games 

I will just keep posting about this because it frustrates me to no end.  World Class difficulty is broke.  WC difficulty is even harder now because the AI scores multiple goals per match now.  Their attacks have been super scripted to the max that defending is almost impossible.  I hate EA.  I hate how they felt the need to make WC so difficult when playing high ranked squads considering there are TWO more higher difficult levels.  For all of these years, they cannot get this game's difficulty situated nor can they get the consistency straight.    The AI just moves TOO F_NG FAST to the point where this playing this game doesn't represent playing soccer in any regards.  No matter how much you fake out their defender, their speed will always allow them to make a 2nd or 3rd attempt at a tackle before you can shoot.  BROKE BROKE BROKE.

They need to grant more points for SB loses.  The amount that is granted for a loss it just too low.  A 3-0 win results in roughly 1750 points.  A 3-2 loss results in roughly 530.  That is too low. 

I just played an 84 RANKED squad and I barely won 3-3 in penalties.  They have got to stop making the difficulty ranking so inconsistent.  They turned up the defensive capabilities on that squad so high it was almost impossible to get the ball past them.  I cannot stand when they up the sliders to that degree.   I can beat 90+ rated teams easier as difficult as they can be.  

Again, since there TWO more higher difficulties, I still do not understand why they made World Class this difficult in this version??

EA is pathetic.
