This was passed on as it's ridiculously hard, even hardcore players have been struggling. I managed to score one goal and maintain possession, but there was no room to take a shot, even Messi with the finesse can't beat the GK.
Keep in mind that historically these challenges have not been changed/corrected midweek, but with a new event/week reset, so chances of that being changed are minimal. So as v7btj1i23t8s said, withdraw if you need 4.5k gems now, or keep trying until it expires on a weekly reset.
My biggest beef isn’t even the difficulty of the opposing players (which, I agree, is a bit extreme), it’s that there is an obvious delay/sluggishness to my inputs. This isn’t a user v user situation so there shouldn’t be any latency. Which leads one to conclude that EA is delaying user inputs as a tool to simulate difficulty. I’ve posted about this before and I’ll reiterate: This is a lousy/lazy way to code. It’s annoying in that it means the team you’ve labored/paid to build performs inconsistently from one match to the next. Just boost the speed and/or IQ of the opposing team, but EA needs to stop inserting itself between users and their players.
