FUT gameplay

Today has been one of the most frustrating gameplay experiences I've had in years. I lost every match, and in every single one it felt like I was fighting the game rather than my opponent.

Imagine playing a football match where, no matter what you do, it feels like you're destined to lose. That's genuinely how today's gameplay felt to me.

I've been playing FIFA for over 30 years, and I can't remember another time when the gameplay has felt this inconsistent. For months I've been reporting that my players often refuse to tackle because the tackling animation simply doesn't trigger, yet nothing seems to change. If anything, the gameplay feels even worse than it did two weeks ago.

Champions has become completely unplayable for me. My team is 96 rated, yet it constantly feels slower than opponents with squads rated below 90. Their players sprint past mine with ease, while my defenders often refuse to challenge for the ball because the tackling animation never activates.

I'm not asking anyone to agree with my interpretation of why this is happening. I'm simply asking EA to investigate the gameplay experience I'm reporting instead of dismissing it. If this is a bug, please acknowledge it. If it's working as intended, then please explain why players are experiencing situations where basic mechanics like tackling appear to stop functioning. AND HOW DO WE COMUNICATE THIS TO YOU?

I'm not trying to cause trouble—I just want to be able to enjoy a football game I paid for where the core mechanics work consistently from one match to the next.
