Squad battles

For me wasting the money on this game is one thing but wasting my time, hell no.

"Listening to the community", what community? Changes are being made that no one asked for.

I feel so sorry for you, bro... :-(
We spent a lot of money on this game, and it's absurd not to be able to have fun.
The staff doesn't care; they've already made their money, and if we leave, nothing will change for them.
I'm also very dissatisfied this year, both with the BATTLES and the online modes of UT, and I keep playing to make sense of my 100 euros spent...

I'm was still playing on World Class and getting Elite 2 except the games went from enjoyable, with the ai actually playing proper football to a mind numbing, soulless, frustrating experience.

Anyway, I've reached my limit this year and I'm out, I'm not even classed as a casual and I've had enough.

Best of luck to you if you persevere with this s**t show.

Unfortunately, this year they've decided to increase the difficulty level in ALL online and offline modes...
UT's online modes are configured for HIGH or VERY HIGH level players (pro players).
For low-to-medium level and casual players, the rewards are few, very few.
We've reported the difficulties we're encountering in DIVISION RIVALS in various threads, but apparently no one on the staff seems interested in providing answers or offering any hope of improvement.
As for BATTLES, the only solution currently is to lower the difficulty level to earn points for weekly rewards.
For example, I'm only playing at PROFESSIONAL level, while last year I also played a lot of WORLD CLASS.
However, some PROFESSIONAL level matches feel like LEGENDARY level matches, as the difficulty inexplicably increases...
This year, instead of having fun, people have to suffer...

I'm pretty sure most casuals that played this game have already left and those that did remain are going to leave now.

Whoever is making these decisions or whoever is advising those that do are moronic.

They are creating a very niche game, only for the hardcore players, excluding the vast majority of their playerbase...

Squad battles is now impossible on world class or above. They dominate possession, bully you off the ball and are impossible to knock off the ball or shoulder barge. The only way to score is through a counter attack. Completely ruined the game, it's more sweaty than rivals now. Well done 👏 

Unfortunately yes..

True, EA are indeed listening to feedback, from only some people.

Yes but remember that they have the ability to influence the FC team's decisions.

Don't think even the "wannabe pros" asked for any changes to squad battles, It's all linked to the career mode changes.

Made a post myself yesterday and I'm going to keep on at EA every hour until there's a response, lets see if they're really listening...
