Critical Server Desync: PlayStyles Disabled, Rush Freezing, and SB Inconsistency

Hi EA Team,

I am reporting a severe breakdown in gameplay functionality that started around 6 AM today (April 4th) following the Trophy Titans launch.

I am using high-tier cards, including 93-rated Premium Rivaldo, but the game is currently unplayable due to the following confirmed issues:

  1. PlayStyle+ Failure: None of the PlayStyles are activating. Specifically, Rivaldo’s Technical++ and Finesse++ are non-functional. The icons do not trigger, and the player feels like a 'truck' or a 'tank' with zero agility.
  2. Rush Mode - Freeze & AI Takeover: In Rush, the gameplay frequently freezes for human players. When it unfreezes, the AI has taken over control of the characters, or the teammates remain 'frozen' while the match continues. This is a clear server-synchronization failure.
  3. Squad Battles (SB) Power Creep: My 89-rated team with 33 Chemistry is playing like a Bronze squad. Meanwhile, the AI (even 70-rated teams with 0 chem) is performing at a 'World Class' level with perfect pressing and physics. My 91-rated players are being physically shoved off the ball by 81-rated AI players.
  4. The '24-Hour Cycle': This level of 'muddy' gameplay and input delay consistently happens for 24 hours after every major campaign launch.

There are news reports (Hindustan Times) confirming a global outage today. We need an official statement on why elite card stats and PlayStyles are effectively disabled during these periods.
