It's truly a weird game!
You can have some matches in a row when everything feels smoth.. Passes goes where you want, AI take intellectual runs, speed is good, defending is good, shots at goal is good, and so on.. Everything feels right. Then - all of a suddent everything cange. Your ping and internet conection is the same, but nothing work! Not just because you are facing a better opponent. AI stand still, passes go to different directions than you are aiming, and you start wondering if someone have taken over your controller. When you want to sprint it's like your player runs in mud, all your shots hit the post, just outside or are miracelous saved by the keeper and so on.
I totaly understand your frustrations!
And EA don't want us to talk about scripting... 🤔😂
