Squad battles AI defending needs sorting

I’ve played quite a few squad battles and thinking these are really hard to break down and pass through. With the bad animations of allowing a AI defender to run through a player, and it being perfect every tackle it seems, almost every game is defending with 9 out the 10 players defending in the box and just out side it in a bank of 4 and 5. 
the passing isn’t good enough on this game to go against this which means the only way to score is to counter attack. The crossing isn’t good enough to get a header in as it’s 1 player vs 3 everytime at least. and especially when the teams I’m going against seem to be god rated at this level, 91 teams, and many 88 teams.  I don’t pay out for anything and rely on free packs, my team is an 82 rated. 

I should be getting teams of similar ratings, not 10 higher nearly. Just makes me feel what’s the point in playing….and any game is about retention of players.

    Same bro. I find the AI in Squad battle and Draft for some **bleep**ing reason defend like prime Jose Mourinho while attacking like prime Barcelona. Especially in the draft, like how the **bleep** a random silver just ran faster than Vinicius jr. Like I don’t know how that is possible while last few year legendary and world class is pretty easy to me. But this year the SB AI had me stressing like crazy.  

    So far I have really enjoyed the game, the enhance defending has been a learning experience but I don’t mind it that much. However please EA can you just nerf the difficulty on Squad Battle and offline draft please without touch the current game😭.

    It has gotten worse and worse every year for the last 3 years. Especially the incessant input reading!!  How is it difficulty scaling when the AI cheats by reading our inputs. Even on Professional difficulty, the AI is just slowly shielding/technical dribbling all over the pitch waiting for your next tackle input so it can sprint past you and head in on goal while my AI defensive line runs away from the attackers. It's truly mind boggling how they try to pass input reading off as difficulty scaling, as the AI is literally just cheating.
