Why Do You Make Squad Battles so difficult?

Squad Battles has for many years been an horrendous game mode, which many feel has got progressively worse. As a lot of objectives now involve Squad Battles, you are basically forcing players to go into this terrible game mode. There are so many things within SB matches that don't feel right, and quite frankly are unfair to the user. Why ?

Examples:

When you can't get the ball off the AI, you know they are going to score (9/10 times)

When the AI have a succession of corners (regardless of time being up), they will score.

AI players with little or no shooting abilities, score screamers.

AI players with low dribbling will walk through your team to score.

Short AI players will outjump your tall player

Weak AI players will bully your strong player.

Your pacey players will often get caught up by a much slower AI.

AI passing is always perfect, while yours is random.

If your strikers have 99 shooting, they will often miss from in front of goal.

Low rated outfield AI players as Goalkeeper, will pull off amazing saves.

Press shoot - delay - tackled

press tackle - delay - nothing happens  (or concede a penalty/ free kick/ red card)

Tell player to make a forward run - he doesn't and you can lose possession while you wait.

 

There are many more things that happen in Squad Battles, these are just a few examples.

The game-play seems so geared towards the AI, and to making your life so much more difficult than it needs to be.

I'm fully aware that my level isn't as good as most (I'm a pensioner for the record) but we have top div one and Elite players in our group who say the same things. (FB group over around 1000 mature players)

 

You do know you can make this game enjoyable to play for your customers don't you?

You have the tools and the knowledge to do this, yet it always seems to be EA against the community at any cost.

    God forbid you let them get a freekick within 30 yards because it goes in top corner every single time regardless of the freekick takers freekick stats, i have to move a tall defender to the post everytime to stop them scoring it because if i don't then it goes in every single time without fail, they don't miss.

    I played legendary on all previous games with mid to low difficulty depending on the team. This one i'm struggling even on world class because all of the reasons you listed above and some more.  I have players with tikka takka and incisive pass with 87+ passing who struggle to play through balls or make first time passes. Usually they mess it up, it's intercepted or goes right to the opposing player despite there being plenty of space between my attacker and the defender. I find it much easier to beat players online because at least with that there is some form of human error no matter how good the player is. They can be tricked, no matter what trick I use to create space the Squad battles AI defender always maintains the perfect position to take the ball from me. 1 on 1 the defender wins everytime
