Goodbye EA never buying this game again!!
After the absolute joke of matchmaking in Rivals and other online modes, EA has now managed to ruin the only mode I actually enjoyed, Squad Battles. I used to comfortably win 3-0 or 4-0 on Legendary against 65-75 rated teams with near zero chemistry. Now suddenly a 66 rated striker with 56 shooting is blasting top left screamers from outside the box on his first attempt, playing flawless tiki taka, and intercepting 70 percent of my passes. I get maybe 1-2 seconds on the ball before being swarmed by three players. How do these low rated players have god tier positioning and defensive awareness? At this point player attributes mean absolutely nothing, it is blatantly scripted. If EA decides you are going to lose, every pass gets intercepted, your attackers hide behind defenders in the box, and 65 rated defenders magically keep up with Mbappe on through balls. Absolutely waste of time playing this game. There is genuinely zero fun left in playing this.
