Squad battles need fixing….to hard due to…

Are you playing on Legendary or a different level and what is the team rating you are playing against.  Also how good is your team now? I have noticed in the past after a couple of months and getting a better team it is much easier to win on legendary against better squat battle teams, but not at this point in the game.

Yea squaddies is pretty horrible to play this year due to the changes.

I used to play most of my games on Legendary last year, it was annoying but I never lost a game. I wouldn't even risk going above World Class this year. With how bad defending is there's no point, you'd never have the ball, the AI basically never makes mistakes and passes anytime you get remotely close to one of their players. Not to mention the fact that half the time you get near the player with the ball, they'll just run directly backward toward their goal.

Sure having a good team is helpful, but I don't think it'll matter when it comes to squaddies this year. The AI is just to weird to play against. It never takes a risk, never passes a lob or over the top through ball, it just plays constant possession.

Playing on professional, easy as pie
World class and above - AI cheats, cheats, cheats. Chemistry of 1? Bah, nonsense, still plays perfect tika taka all the way to the goal, never gets caught offside, every tackle goes straight to their own player.

My team is about an 86 rated.  I play legendary against teams worse than mine and world class for teams better than mine

agreed I do push it to compete with 84s on legendary, that’s because my Squad battle games I get are horrendous. 
my current ones are 91/33 88/33, 84/28 and 77/5. Hence why I push it to get the points as you tend to need over 30k points to get elite 1. 

The way I see it, Squad Battles definitely reflects the skill level of a player. I'm usually a player that struggles to get Elite. My brother, who is much better than I, tends to get Elite 1. I usually play high 80's on professional, low 80's on World Class, and anything lower than an 80 on Legendary -- at times losing some games ;(

You play the team you think you can beat, but when the game is playing this over the top and recovering it’s making to hard to play. How many times has the AI defender run through you to. I foul and walks away with the ball and your player is stunned. You try the same and your player bounces off. 
they need a game that’s fair and what is good for one team is good for another. Even if the other team is a AI. It’s not in the game like the slogan suggest it should be

Ye, SB is horrible. I mostly play on legendary, but after the first 20 minutes you already know if this "is one of those games", or that you will win with 4/5-0 . Doesnt really matter what rating the opponent has, or the chemistry. You just feel you wont get pas their 50 pace defenders. It's scripted as **bleep**. And ofcourse if it is "one of those games", the first ball the opponent scrambles at your goal falls in. And those games are way to often. The AI suddenly can defend like champions, but not if it's the AI on your team. That's a whole different ballgame.

Exactly, within minutes of each game you will know "the AI's just going to cheese this" and it will not be remotely FUN (you know, enjoyable)

It doesn't matter what stats the AI has, they'll outpace you
it doesn't matter what chemistry they have, they'll play flawlessly while your own team makes idiotic runs 

And even if you do win 5-0, you still won't get maximum points because in the world of EA, you need to actively NOT score and get 10 corners because EA thinks that somehow is better than scoring.

Ea seems hell bent on making this game infuriating and frustrating rather than fun.  Squad battles just makes me angry. Feels like the ai is cheating. Had a defender with 38 pace zoom into catching up with my 84 pace player.  Absolutely ridiculous . So hard to tackle  and so easy to give ball away then can't win it back. Even playing against semi pro to do objectives is a chore. Player switching is a nightmare.  Stupidly big trophies by corner flag.  The list goes on . Sort it out ea please

AI in SB is a f.... joke in FC26. SB was the only (mostly) chill mode for me. Now it's as much or even more sweasty than division rivals. AI is cheating as hell and not making any errors. I have problems even on proffessional against 88+ teams. 70-rated teams on world class play like 11 icons, they pass around, don't go forward, I have less than 40% possesion against it.
