Bots/Clubs is awful

More so than in 25, fc26 bots in Pro Clubs are awful. For some reason it is mainly for my team. Any team we face bots are not nearly as bad. We have tried everything from manually controlling them to changing every role assignment to almost every variation in the game. We have found no difference when doing the facility upgrades for AI either. Our bots are always slower than any striker. To the point where they can have a ball right next to the and the pace max striker will just run to it from 10x the distance and beat them. They constantly pass to each other and do back passes, completely killing all momentum we ever get. There has been at least 7 own goals in our club just this season, all bots or the keeper. Meanwhile, I find myself, and other strikers in my club who have max or just short of max pace always being beaten to the ball by the other team's fullbacks and centerbacks. The enemy bots are always doing insane over he head and through passes even without being asked to. Meanwhile our bots will randomly refuse to pass, slowly skip dribble into the middle of the pitch and lose the ball. It is ridiculous and genuinely exhausting. I would love to be making excuses right now. You can accuse me of it all you want. I wish that were the case. The amount of demotivation and anger the bots have caused me this year makes me not want to play the game I like anymore. Clubs is what got me into fifa, and it will also be what pushes me away.

    Give this a try. My buddy and I are only a 2 but the bots played sooooo good when we changed to this and just put your human players where you want to within these tactics:

    GLK Sweeper Keeper

    LB and RB Fullback Versatile 

    CBs Defend Defend

    CDM1 Deep Lying Playmaker on Build Up

    CDM2 Box Crasher Balanced

    RAM and LAM on Half Winger Attack

    CAM Human on Playmaker Balanced or Roaming

    ST Human on Advanced Forward Support

    Defensive Line 61 High (the bots will pressure the ball without being too high, instead of standing around picking their butts))

    Passing Style Short Passing (Bots will be less likely to just whack it up the field mindlessly)

    yeah that worked for maybe one game and then the bots went right back to kicking the ball mindlessly into the enemy, always lagging behind on defense, and just ping ponging the ball in our backline whenever we do have it
