Player career mode AI

The ai in player career mode this year is just awful, not just the general gameplay, which is bad, but the main issue for me being how the ai just take the ball off me. Like I genuinely cannot dribble or do a flick-up skill move anywhere near my teammates anymore because they just take it off me, so it's becoming very hard to move around the box and in tight areas. I've attached a video example of this happening. It's never happened to me in any previous years so I'm not sure what kind of change was made but it's an awful change, please fix this because it's genuinely making player career unplayable.

I'm guessing this issue wouldn't occur if you used play as team rather than play as player but that defeats the purpose of player career in my opinion
