Gameplay is a joke

You buffed fidget spinning and interceptions in this last patch whether you know it or not. Lengthy is a handicap now. Anyone tall is seemingly a handicap. Anyone who can't fidget spin and wobble with perfect touchs is a handicap, aka not lean or special body type. Everyone can simply just press x within what seems like 10 feet and magically not only do they steal regardless of their defense stats, but they make a perfect pass to their teammate with ZERO animation. Everyone with more than 90 dribbling is spinning in circles and waving side to side and glitching through defenders. Shielding is pointless. Opponents steal from my players with about a 95% success rate when shielding. From behind and the ball just teleports from my players feet to behind them and they are already passing. And if you don't have at minimum of 90 pace you're handicapping yourself. Whatever you did also nerfed offensive AI if you have less than 90 pace. My 91 Berkamp has never been more offside, out of position, missed more shots and been dispossessed of the ball more than this week since the update. Every defender is seemingly running quickstep and can magically jump 20 feet forward and steal the ball. Unless your Pina. Every version of her is broken.  Her 85 pace feels like 95. And her shooting and finishing is off the charts. I've watched her low drivens just pierce through a loaded box that normally gets blocked. She's out ran my Frimpong. Also, 90 SBC Frimpong with 97 pace, gets caught by Cucarella. He feels SOO slow this week. My 86 rated 94 frimpong feels faster. 

I'm tired of this counter, 2 pass thru ball, single cutback to finesse meta. At least make it so defense actually marks these runs without my CB just sprinting backwards for no reason blowing the offside/high trap. This just makes it so its an easy lay off tap-in. Playing manual defense is so un-fun because of this. Player switching is SOOO slow compared to triggered runs and passing speed. You can't cut passing lanes fast enough, and manually jockeying with CBs is a 100% recipe for conceding a fidget spin or finesse goal. You just have to spam team press and second man contain. Its sooo mindless and any delay in the game just means you get screwed and the player is thru 1v1 with the keeper for an easy goal. 

Heading and Crossing is just as awful, but its been awful since the game came out so no sense in bothering there. 

Bruiser/defending animations are out of control. You shouldn't be a step ahead from a defender and not only do they not have to get in front of you, they just push in the back or shirt pull and the ball magically also ends up teleporting backwards to their feet. Its never a foul. It also cancels any shot animation into a stumble. But its NEVER a foul apparently. Also my 18 ping must be a lie or my computer is always behind, because I can never pull this off. They just shrug it off and score. But it happens to me almost every game. Meanwhile, I bruiser shield and its a foul.

All these new Evolutions you keep releasing are terrible. sub 86 rated caps are useless when cards are averaging 90+ now.  I haven't been able to upgrade a main team member in months without straight buying them off the market.

I'm on a 10 game losing streak right now and nothings changed from last week. My team just straight plays differently this week. Its endlessly frustrating, to the point to where I don't even know why I play sometimes. This game gets worse every week. My pack luck is awful. I always get the most garbage discard priced cards. My team is ALWAYS behind the power curve. Meanwhile I'm playing multiple TOTYs and Icons in D5. I had to buy my singular useful Icon. And hes garbage now apparently. My Future Star EVOs are trash compared these Royalty cards and Icons. Winter Wildcards was the best this game has been.
