Career Difficulty Level doesn’t work, all are very easy.

I am winning 8-0 even on Ultimate Difficulty in Career Mode. Putting in no effort because it’s all so easy. Seems like the difficulty doesn’t actually change from semi pro upwards. I am playing as Chelsea which have a decidedly average team, but it’s no challenge at all.

    Hello everyone,

    I just wanted to follow up on the AI difficulty.

    We've released an update today on all platforms. You can find the details of the patch notes here.

    This will hopefully make the AI more challenging en engaging to play against.

    Let us know what you think of this update through the Player Feedback Portal:

    Thank you.

  • What is your opinion after the patch? I won all the 5 games i played. 3x 3-0 1x 2-0 and champions league 1-0 at home against Galatasaray on Ultimate with Ajax. Still feels to easy. No goals against me

    Thank you for making an effort, it’s a little bit better, but still not the same level like FC25. I’m playing with below average teams and still winning everything. No shots or fouls against me.EA_Hux​

    Don't know about how this is working for career mode on authentic gameplay but it has broken squad battles ai in UT on obviously competitive gameplay.

    I’m trying to enjoy the game I really am but the game is fundamentally broken, Ultimate difficulty might as well be amateur, I’ve cranked up EVERY slider in favour of the CPU and nothing has changed.

    The CPU is so passive in attack, defence, possession, out of possession etc it’s honestly so frustrating, they don’t tackle, they’re so easy to dispossess, their decision making is baffling, they can’t attack, they WON’T Attack, it’s honestly so boring. 

    I’ve just had a title defining match against Leverkusen, I won 6-0 and I attempted 53 tackles, the Ultimate CPU attempted 9… NINE tackles in 90 minutes ZERO fouls, mind you I have the tackle aggression slider set to 99, and they’re still so reluctant to tackle.

    Also they only attempted 4 shots the entire game and 2 off those were from corners.

    Seriously fix this nonsense, FC 25 when it got released was perfect when it come to Legendary/Ultimate difficulty, FC 26 is a far cry from that; when FC 25 first got released the CPU were so difficult to play against; they could defend, dribble, shoot, pass, intercept, tackle etc In both ends of the pitch the CPU was a nightmare to come up against. 

    Now the CPU is useless, please fix this. (I know you won’t)

    100% agree with everything being said here. The way ultimate difficulty has been ruined is truly sad. It's so easy to score 6 or 7 goals. The defensive AI barely exists. No tackles or press and easy for us to play through the opposition. The gameplay is better in FC26 but FC25 atleast had the difficulties sorted out and made it difficult hence giving it a realistic feel especially from a manager mode perspective

    The most frustrating part of the gameplay is truly the lack of tackling by the CPU AI. It doesn't even exist after pushing the tackling slider to 99. Like c'mon EA do you guys not test things before releasing them? How many patches will you keep doing at this rate. 

    Please have a dedicated person to handle offline game mode issues since not everyone plays FUT. How can you have a enjoyable career mode with the opposition teams just letting you walk over them. Especially those that aren't 4.5 stars or more
