I've gone back to playing FC25 since I can't stand how ultimate difficulty is practically broken in FC26 and while legendary is slightly better I'm still able to score 4+ goals with ease every game.
It just makes no sense that the CPU AI in kickoff mods is actually more of a challenge to play against than the CPU AI in career mode. I actually even saw the AI make a slide tackle against me in a kickoff game and I was shocked. Lol

So true. It's really mind boggling how the CPU doesn't do any slide tackle or take any long shots. I've seen 1 slide tackle from the CPU AI out of 30 kick off games I've played. Haven't seen a long shot till date. In FC25 despite its problems the CPU AI was far more aggressive without even having to crank up the sliders.

PLEASE fix the difficulty on this game, absolutely nothing works, I play on Ultimate with sliders buffed in the CPU's favour and it's a walk in the park, the CPU simply does not tackle, they're not aggressive, they barely take any longshots and they hold onto the ball for way too long.
I've said this since the BETA and you guys still haven't fixed this.

I might go back to FC 25 tbh, FC 26 is not a challenge at all.

Interesting, it really shouldn't be that difficult. What are your settings like? The biggest complaint is that AI is too passive. I just played FC25 again the other day and I've got the AI shooting from long range, slide tackling, forcing me to defend more. I've not experienced that on FC26. Authentic mode feels too slow to me. Competitive feels pacy but no change in the AI so I go with custom.

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

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

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)
