Playing UT offline has to be the most frustrating video game experience

I only play offline and honestly, in this FC, it has to be THE most frustrating and pointless video game experience.

Difficulty is all over the place and very badly made. AI will be amazing in some aspect in all difficulty levels, but some other aspects will differ. So even in semi-pro, they can tiki-taka all over the pitch and intercept anything, because those 2 are not impacted by the difficulty level. And talking about interceptions, those are the worst. AI will intercept anything that is less than 8 foot from them. THey can tackle your passes within a hundredth of a second.
AI will have the same level of performance no matter who plays where. I played 3 times a Stanisic goalkeeper, he was amazing the 3 times. I just had Katoto GK, she was amazing. Calhanoglu was CB and was great.
The speed has always been an issue but it feels worse in 26. I can't count how many times my players have been caught up by opponents with 15-20 less pace stat (for example, Calhanoglu just easily caught up Rodrygo)

There is NO new tournament to play offline. When there's an online silver tournament for example, it would be the perfect opportunity to release an offline silver tournament. But no.
Draft has the most horrible rewards I've ever seen. It's not even worth playing with a free token, because just your time is more valuable than what you get. And it's pretty much the same for any reward offline.
Moments has been abandoned on release.

Clearly EA doesn't want people to play offline. Somehow they don't realize that it's better to have some people playing offline than these same people not playing at all and not even buying the game.

    The worst part is that this isn't only in singleplayer modes ;) the AI is switching difficulty midgames but this also happens during pvp games as your defenders suddenly run out of position and the difficulty of passes is much higher even whitout any pressure on the ball. Usually there are 3 ways of this: each team has a half when everything works, a team get's the beginning and last 10 min and the other the rest and the no luck after 3 goals up where whenever you go up 3 goals your players turn into bronzes and usually the other team get's everything until it is even.

    There was a bug in EA FC 2024 which showed that the dificulty changed midgame in the top right corner for some players :/ and the way this game feels every year is enough proof for me that this is actually what happens ;(
