The state of this game.

I will admit, EAFC 26 has improved over the past month or so (in my opinion), until today. I just played a couple of games of Div rivals. (Div 3 / 4) First game, my opponents attackers weren't even the slightest bit affected by ANY of my tackles (shoulders, normal and slide). I would slide tackle my opponent with clear contact made (so much so, my controller vibrated) and my opponent would still be standing like they got hit with a piece of paper, get through and score. 

Second game: Same issues with the tackling as the first game, but with this game, I conceded 2 goals from my goal kick by playing it from GK to CB, then with CLEAR intended direction try playing the ball from CB to RB/RM but the ball travels in the direction of my opponents ST, who then bursts through and scores.
