EA…AI…scripted matches
So, this, my first time playing UT.
I mainly play rivals … and it’s made me notice a few things…
- I could go 3-0 up in the first 20 mins … then all of a sudden my players barely move , can’t pass a ball and my opposition turn into prime Brazil… by HT it’ll be 3-3.
a few more obvious patterns of play & by FT I’d have lost 7-5. - or I could be 4-0 down at HT…AI will let me score 3 in quick succession, chasing to get the 4th and it flips the other way… they’ll get 2 in a row… 6-3 FT
EA ensuring each game is a thriller !! More like game killer!
It took me weeks to get into div 7… even longer to get into 6… (where it seemed there was less AI involvement) - got into div 5
Then one day … boom , it all changed - Couldn’t win to save my life… this went on for days until I was one game away from being relegated to Division 8
my team is roughly 93/94 rated …. Every game feels like hard graft - just scoring a goal feels like an achievement- then the opposition just waltz through my whole team from KO.
I’ve spent months in div 7 … W,L,DW,D,L etc… it’s impossible to win 2 in a row.
So , I built a new team… no promo cards- just golds - and kept team rating under 90… & guess what…. I won…then I won again… and again - got promoted … kept winning. My team were pure silk , passes connected, Mbappe remembered he is Mbappe.
Finally it was a joy to play UT26.
SO EA’s AI HAS BEEN LEVELLING UP THE TEAMS AND GIVING THE ADVANTAGE TO THE ‘’Underdog’ !!
High squad ratings / promo cards - they’re all meaning less. I’ve proved it

and the 94 rated squad that couldn’t win 2 in a row in Div 7!! (For months)
