Squad battles

Agreed, this and they are also so boring to play against, waste 10 minutes game time passing between defenders, even when losing. 

I don’t know who at ea thought making squad battles impossible to beat was a good idea smh not everyone wants to sweat and rage they need to revert squad battles smh 

They've increased the difficulty because otherwise the PRO PLAYERS won't have fun...
This year, the game was "packaged" for them.
Whatever they ask for, they're immediately granted it, but us mere mortals, no one listens to us!

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...

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

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

Unfortunately yes..

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 👏 

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...

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...
