Unfair AI Stat Inflation and Unrealistic Behavior in Squad Battles
The game design of Squad Battles on higher difficulties (especially Legendary) feels fundamentally flawed. Instead of the AI playing smarter or more skillfully, it appears to rely on artificially inflated stats and unrealistic advantages that overwhelm the player. Specific issues include:
- AI players can trip or dispossess the user’s players without making contact with the ball, yet no foul is called.
- AI frequently scores highly difficult goals (volleys, headers, etc.) that are rare in PvP, with an abnormally high conversion rate regardless of the player taking the shot.
- AI goalkeepers have an unrealistically high save percentage, with sudden and extreme performance boosts.
- The user’s own players feel artificially suppressed in attributes. In extreme cases, even an opposing goalkeeper out of position in midfield can outperform the user’s players in dribbling, passing, and tackling.
These mechanics create an unfair and frustrating experience. I strongly request that EA investigate and rebalance the AI behavior and underlying stat modifications in Squad Battles as soon as possible.
