Squad Battles AI

What's worse, is my players are completely mudded and move very slowly and sluggishly, while the AI is flying around the pitch. I get the AI getting better as the difficulty scales up, but my players shouldn't be affected by the difficulty settings, my players should always perform as expected in game, otherwise you're baiting and switching your products that people earn or pay for with real money.  Do what you want to the AI (within reason), but don't nerf our players, our team. I don't have a problem with finding the difficulty of AI to play against, that's ok, to a certain extent, but my players should be able to move, dribble, shoot and pass without being compromised, and they shouldn't be hiding behind defenders all game, either, they should be moving and supporting play off the ball, and not doing dummy runs where they stop moving as soon as I pass the ball, that is so idiotic.  All of this being said, the AI is ridiculous now and clearly cheats in order to score or retain the ball, and they play as ratty as anyone I've ever played against. It's just unnecessary!!
