difficulty adjustment to squad battles...

Squad Battles has been an awful game mode for years, this year has been no different. Due to objectives, we are being forced to play this game mode, so instead of making it enjoyable, they decide to stuff us even more. It was difficult enough before this update, now they're making it virtually impossible. Your strikers can't score, defenders won't tackle, Goalkeepers won't hold onto the ball, etc etc. It is so designed and rigged towards the AI opponent. You have a good team and tactics,  with excellent players, yet low rated players can either walk through your whole team and score, or keep the ball for a prolonged amount of time. The game as a whole is dying a death, and EA seem to have no shiits to give. Instead they put their pathetic efforts into driving what little customer base away towards other games. Shame on you.

The latest update has made it worse the jump between levels is more now then before I am average player and semi pro is easy but professional is too hard why the big jump in quality. Was able to do professional before and have an ok challenge with the higher rated teams 

From it being the only escape to division rivals/champions, now it's barely an escape assuming you are after elite 1 division

Its ridiculous, my totw haaland will lose on physical to a silver
My 85 pace right back will lose to a 64 pace silver while they're sprinting with a ball
Their 50-65 passing rated players will make more insane passes then my 88 passing player could ever
Why even play against silvers when they're clearly not silver stats
AI will instantly follow your movement, which isnt something you can win against
All i can score is high through balls once in a while, which completely beats the fun of playing this stupid game
Its so **bleep** boring, I'm not good enough for rivals yet cant even play competitively against bots??

This is nothing new. EA knows exactly what they are doing. They pretend they are listening. But if I go back as far as FIFA 17, around this time of the year the game just falls apart. It’s part of their marketing strategy to push packs on people. They fix two things and break five others.

Squad Battles is the only mode I play because I can’t stand online clowns, immature gamers, or credit-card teams, but my patience is really gone. I try to be patient and play the game authentically. As the years go by, I see very little improvement—only dishonesty from this company.

As sad as it is, and even though it’s the only game I truly love and play besides Gran Turismo, I have to put this game aside because the stress level is damaging my health. The game offers little fun and is mostly stress. I just have to quit it somehow.

I tried UFL and PES, and they are ten times worse. Generally, I used to play many sports games—from MLB to NBA—but you know what? Wink wink, the S word EA doesn’t like has ruined gaming. The industry isn’t doing anything about it because they’re getting paid under the table. It’s guaranteed profit.

If we all stopped playing this game, maybe then they would change their ways. But as long as it drives addicts into buying packs and investing in the market, this problem will only peak and get worse.
