It's all predetermined

Playing on Legendary. I got into a channel with a through ball with a player with 89 speed and 85 acceleration and had a 5 yard lead heading to goal. I was run down and tackled by a player with 68 speed and 55 acceleration. Why even have attributes? Why even try to play good football? You guys have it all predetermined.

That was followed by a full back with 70 acceleration and 67 speed dribbling down the sideline so fast that I had to sprint with the same player to catch him, when he was caught he shielded, did a spin move, and somehow kept the ball from a player in jockey with 90 standing tackle and 90 defensive positioning, 90 strength, and 90 aggression. The fullback had agility 66, balance 73, reactions 72, ball control 74, dribbling 74, composure 66, strength 69. Why even have attributes? Why try to get into good defensive positions? You guys have it all predetermined.

And how is it that we don't have better options in defending than your poorly tuned sprint button? It's like you have to sprint to catch any dribbler and then your agility crashes (again why even have attributes), but also you need something in between sprint for this. 

Again, so many of your best players don't even manual defend because you have terrible mechanics for it; well that and if you manually defend you seem to bring in the predestination engine.

This stuff really sucks. It takes all the fun out of reading the game and trying to be where you are supposed to be. The game is just arbitrary. You might get a tackle or you might not; it's not about good positioning or player attributes. It's whether the small PC brain in there decides that you get this one.  

And you can't drop down to World Class; it's a joke. I can get 15 tackles a game and score 10 goals.

How is there not a level that is not a predetermined Calvinist hellscape or a cake walk? Not that any level should feel as arbitrary as legendary or ultimate do. You have had essentially this same engine for years! It feels like you don't understand it yourselves. People just want a game that feels like it rewards good play and time invested in building players and teams. You guys don't have that game and that is stunning given how long you have had with the same engine. 

And pressing is absurdly overpowered. Their defensive positioning is far too boosted. They never get tired even though they sprint at you the whole game.
