Why Does the Game Feel Rigged After the Season Reset?

I've experienced something even crazier. Back then, Mbappe was dribbling (not sprinting) at a slow pace toward my goal. My two CBs with bruiser and physical playstyles, along with my accelerate RB, LB, and my CM tried to block him; they all just bounced away simply because Mbappe wanted to score. Even when I tackled him, my player just slid past his side, and everything was bypassed effortlessly just because the system had already decided it was going to be a goal

Love the Tekken reference. These Ultimate Challenge finals definitely feel more like “final boss” battles than football matches, lol! (And, in case anyone from EA reads this for once, I don’t means that in a good way!). Makes you wonder whether the folks doing the coding every even watch the sport.

I’m going to keep standing on my soapbox and saying this:  The coders need to stop nerfing our players’ attributes as a means of simulating difficulty. These Ultimate Challenge finals matches are just the most extreme examples and they make it so patently obvious that this is the shortcut EA is using. It’s such lazy coding and it’s entirely righteous for users to feel angry when we’ve labored/paid so much to assemble our ultimate squad only to have EA handicap us by tying one leg behind our back! I mean, why would I ever PAY for a player if the game designers reserve the right to nerf him into oblivion anytime they want?!
