Squad Battles suddenly significantly more difficult

After the most recent gameplay update the CPU is significantly more difficult to compete against in Squad Battles. The CPU is overly aggressive and they have super powers that let them accelerate and tackle at game-breaking speeds. It's noticeable on all difficulties, even on semi-pro the CPU is now much more difficult. Other players are already reporting the difference.

I've played thousands of Squad Battles games, the difference is very clear and apparent.

If this change is unintentional then it needs to be fixed ASAP. If it's on purpose, then they player base should be informed.
