I experience the same issue on corners in H2H. I hate the auto-switch in defense and have it switched off. This helps me in the overall, but on corners it’s a serious liability because I have to pre-select a defender to use and if I choose the wrong one then I’m totally screwed. Tapping to toggle to a new defender while the ball is in flight is simply too sluggish to enable me to defend corners and I give up a lot of easy ones as a result. My experience in these instances is exactly as the comment describes where it feels like the scenario is locked in once the ball is kicked and there’s nothing I can do to stop it. Would be great if EA allowed you to disable defensive auto-switch EXCEPT for dead-ball situations.

Perhaps I've gotten used to it, as I have been manually man-marking the usual threat target ever since and switching in between seems fine to me. I did play vs. a mate who's also in the Oceania region, so we were hosted off the Sydney server (meaning no lag; our server seems to be fine for now).
Still, a video of it would be great, especially since you are experiencing a lot more lag over the West Coast servers.
Don't know where OP's based
