Need experienced player feedback

So to make things short and sweet I was never good in EA FC 23, 24, 25, or 26. If I played them it was for volta or rush. Never tried FUT, sometimes did manager mode, etc. I was just really bad and gave up easy. Couldn't win a single FUT game let alone score.

With this game coming out I'm noticing a huge difference in my gameplay and just wanted to know if the game was somehow.. easier? Like I feel like I'm good. My FUT record is 15-6. I feel like I'm good just off of left stick dribbling and very basic skill moves. Defending seems easy, the connection in games seem really good, and yeah.. does anyone else notice the game feels easier or is it just me?

Also I would love any FUT tips and does anyone have a club I can join I'm active, USA, est.
