What is going on???

What is going on with the game???  There is absolutely no way that I have played against human beings since the new patch was released! Played Rivals and i couldn't stop my opponent, it was absolutely impossible. Tried to tackle the ball and my player didn't react at all. My opponent was right next to me only a few centimeters apart. Sounds crazy, but it really felt like as if he was surrounded by a force field. He stopped in my box with the ball then walked around like I was not there. Their movements, their quick responses, the pressing against me, unbelievable! You cannot convince me otherwise. There is no way a human could play like the last half a dozen opponents. What have you done to the game???
