NICE

What do you mean Silver cards play better? In Squad Battles?

Yes silver Pembele run more than Rodrygo 88 and Salma 84

Yo katastrofata? There's something called defender's balance. How would the game work if you had 94+ pace strikers and u always scored? If that was the case defending w defenders under 90 pace would be useless. 

Yes. Silver cards play like Icons on Legendary difficulty.

it wouldn't be called Legendary if they could be easily beaten

Near impossible to beat. CPU tackling is over powered. They have a success rate of 99.9% and never foul.

My squad is 87-rated/32-chemistry and I can barely beat 73-rated/10-chemistry Legendary squads. It just feels like I'm playing against the same squad over and over again.

Saying it wouldn't be called legendary if they could be easily beaten is a bit disingenuous. I play on legendary and world class, and the AI is nutty. Camavinga get held off by a 70 rated winger with 57 physical, the 59 rated LB and 61 rated cb playing perfect tiki take football with less than 50 passing each. Not to mention the inch perfect tackles they put in 90% of the time, I genuinely think they have put the input reading up to cracked out of it's mind.

Don't even get me started on the ridiculous way this AI plays most of the time, I'm literally chasing shadows for large parts of the game, and it seems reluctant to even want to play a pass forward. There are 4 more games than last year, but the points required to get elite 1 have stayed roughly the same. That alone shows the massive jump in AI difficulty.

I think the main problem is that squad battles for the majority is the chill mode of Ultimate Team, and yeah you could say they can just turn the difficulty down, but like the rest of us they still want good rewards. It's a good thing that EA have buffed the rewards a bit more to match the difficulty, or it wouldn't be worth playing at all.

 Don’t get me wrong either, I will get close to 30k points a week so it's not like I'm bad at the game, but it's about finding a good middle. At least the AI actually took chances on 25 and tried to push up the field more often than not.

the diversity certainly lacks. But, you do know that when you play against 73-rated/10 chemistry teams your team is actually the one playing on 10-chemistry? Regardless, I do agree in that those lower-rated teams should not be playing that good! Lol

That's literally not the case though, my team is 86 rated with 31 chemistry, and play the same as always. EA devs aren't just going to make it so that chemistry reverses for Squad battles, that is ludicrous. It's literally just an AI thing, the AI for legendary and world class has definitely been buffed, but for some reason it hasn't accounted for low rated and chemistry teams.

In 25 you could tell even when a higher rated team had low chemistry, nothing was quite as sharp as the higher rated teams, and you would often find holes in the team where players are out of position. This year it is just a sweat festival no matter what team you face.

Only plus side now, is that they have buffed the rewards a bit to make the effort worthwhile, especially when playing for elite 1.

But... that's what it reads in Squad Battles! XD It literally tells you that when choosing those low-chemistry teams. It says the low chemistry applies to your team, not theirs!

To be fair, I do admit it is super confusing, considering this is literally the only time the Chemistry is reversed!
