What was that update?

Never posted on here before but i kind of felt the need… i don’t even play online other than clubs but career mode is where most of my playing goes… play on world class more just for comfort but since the last update the game just feels slow and frustrating. Normally i have quite comfortable games as i progress to the prem but now the AI are just awful.

played Wigan and Stockport in two consecutive games… ones that normally would be a comfortable win. Both of them left that game with 70% possession, 150 passes made with 93% passing accuracy and only 3 shots in the whole game…

they just jog sideways then when you get near for the tackle they just pass it back. It’s like playing a game of piggy in the middle for 90 minutes. Boring and frustrating is all it’s turned out to be. For such a simple mode i don’t understand why you would feel the need to ruin it and just make them play safe boring football. Even when i went 1-0 up they didn’t change, just more and more negative sideways jogging and then pass backs. If they do eventually get a goal from the one time they decide to go forward they just get a scrappy corner or just get rebounds.

Not sure if anyone else is having the same issue but why take the fun out of mode that you can just leave alone and requires barely any attention.

  • As an UT player myself who almost exclusively plays Squad Battles due to a disability in my hands I'm experiencing exactly the same.

    Low rated teams playing the best Tiki-Taka passes I've ever seen with no errors, but only sideways and backwards the vast majority of the time.

    At 2-0 up against a very weak 71 rated team (I'd guess around 2 1/2 - 3 star rated in career mode) all they did was pass behind the half way line and as you said, the moment you get 4-5 feet from a player they just pass sideways or back, even when losing.

    @EA_anyone chasing shadows for 70-80 % of a match is not fun.

    They have to revert this change back or change it in some way because as it stands currently It's just broken.

    Glad it’s not just me noticing this! Hopefully they revert it back like you said 👍

    We can only hope that they at least somewhat adhere to their "We're listening to your feedback" talk.

    As we're not content creators having a meltdown or pro's that want unrealistic football as they have no actual football knowledge I'm doubtful though.

    It appears that all feedback is equal... but some feedback is more equal than others.

    Guys this is exactly what Rivals and Champs had been like this year. People just pass back and sideways and you cannot touch them. Awful awful game,
