Same here… I can’t even win the Weekend Challenge anymore. My team is 106 OVR and I stand zero chance - even the Chronicle Matches are difficult now. Opponent team has 85 OVR but the team plays like it had 120 OVR. Just stupid

• My players can’t outrun the opponent

• My players run around like blind lice in a maze

• My players can’t utilize their skill moves

• My players get swarmed by 3-4 opponents

it feels like the opponent has 35 players on their team; haha… 

The opponent team is just WAY to overpowered now. I remember this happened once before, and EA turned it down again. Let’s hope enough people complain about this

When i try challange mode i canr even beat them they ar faster than me and can easly talke you no matter what you do even gk cant be beaten i have my player above 98 and 1 playwr with a pace of 130 and they can easly get tonhim even be faster than him i cant even win 1 match hope you fix this thing

I think it just shows how little EA cares about it's player base. 

I'd like to see their reasoning and testing process that decided whacking the difficulty level up was a brilliant idea. Was any peer testing done? Was it with people with "normal" squads (so 104 OVR or lower)?

Or was it just a finger in the air and a "F*ck 'em that'll do" approach?

They gave it all the big 'un that Anniversary event was going to be spectacular and instead bumped up the AI difficulty 100% instead of 10%, didn't increase the rewards to match the sweatiness involved to beat it. Forced players into more H2H mode matches (I actively avoid H2H) made it more difficult to score in VSA mode. Messed up the search function in the market. Reduced opportunities to get Mascherano while inflating market prices of tradeable players.

Also, in the UK it's nearly impossible to get the rewards from watching the video adverts too. Yet another shining example of the vast incompetence of the FC Mobile team. 

If I wanted a weekend sweat fest for irrelevant rewards I'd go play FC25 on console.

It's a perfect example of how to alienate your player base and hope the whales keep plowing money into it to verify your decision to ruin the game for the casual users. 

One thing to add:

My defenders (101OVR + ranking + bonus + stock options) don't defend, rather stand there and watch opponents playing.

Exactly the same for me

my forwards literally just stand there, behaving like they are playing soccer for the first time in their lives. They don’t run into positions or holes, but if they somehow mange to do so, they get swarmed by 3-5 defenders before the ball reaches them

and on defense, I have the same issue you mentioned. My defenders just stand and watch and allow the opponents to run right through

all my players are 100-101 ovr base, ranked up to 105-106 with max training (level 25-30)

even when I play against AI teams with 80-90 ovr, I sometimes lose now. Haven’t lost a single AI match in over a year and suddenly I lose half of them to weaker teams due to my team being horrible and the opponent team being overpowered

don’t see why this boost was necessary

What happens when the bug occurs? Shame on you, EA team! New AI is so unplayable that it hurts! For the first time in more than 3 years where I have missed maybe 15 days of everyday playing I wanted to uninstall this game today! I will tell the reason: I tried to play weekend challenge today and after somehow managing to overcome first two obstacles, third one was unbreakable! It seems that your QA team are only a few world class players that are able to see this challenge through. On the other hand, 99 percent of the people are not able. I don't mind hard games, it is good for skills, but when I play such though opponent and somehow all my players are clumsy and playing like they got OVR of 85, where pass at the 16 meters goes through Ronaldo legs, or ball bounces of Rafael Leao as he stands like hit, or simple short pass ends up behind back and opens a counter attack for Man City, or inability to any of my defenders pressure, tackle or hard tackle any of the opponents (there are more things like this)... These things just makes me feel ashamed and dumb that I was put in a position to play with disadvantage under more tougher circumstances, where opponent skills are boosted (which is fine) but mine are downgraded for no reason. I don't know do I have a wish for this to be fixed or not. But I will let my anger cool down a bit and see will this be fixed. If not, I will delete my account, I see some players are giving up.

I left this as a post on bug reports as well:
