Squad Battles Are Awful

Squad battles are now the worst game mode to play, in terms of experience. The AI is just awful

They've had several patches where they say they 'stop the AI having possession'. But I'm fed up of playing games, on even professional difficulty, and the AI have 55,60%+ possession of the ball.

Like what is the point. It's not challenging game play. I'm a div 2 player for reference, so I can easily play on these game modes. I want to play professional difficulty to relax, do evo's and objectives. Instead I'm playing jogging simulator, constantly watching the AI receive the ball, take a touch, stop the ball dead for a second, then jog (most of the time back to their own goal), before being pressed and passing it to a player in space. And the process starts again.

They've basically replicated the experience of playing against someone, 1-0 up, in the last 5 mins of champs. How is this meant to be a fun game mode? I'm winning these games 5-0+ but coming away very annoyed because it's just not fun

On the lower difficulties (professional downwards) no one is challenged; people are playing to relax, do evo's and objectives. We don't want to have 30% of the ball, chasing the AI back to their own goal. On these difficulties, the game should be trying to get the ball forward as quick as possible, allowing the player a chance to recover the ball quickly. 

Please fix the game play to something close to playable, ideally enjoyable
