I don't see how evidence has been provided. When you raise the difficulty, the AI players respond and react faster. They don't play above their ratings. Their passes aren't more on target. Their shots aren't more precise, etc. We've had many claims over the years that there is something going on behind the scenes forcing you to lose to lower-rated teams. This wasn't built into the game and nobody has provided video showing otherwise.

Not one person here claimed they were being forced to lose. They questioned why the gap in difficulty levels is so large.

You could have said this from the start. At what difficulty do they play to their ratings, then, because if they respond and react faster at higher levels, they're playing below their ratings at lower difficulty.

The AI players are playing according to their ratings. If you want to play against AI that don't react as fast, try the rookie or semi-pro difficulties.
As far as why the gap is so large goes, that's subjective. It might be a big gap for some, but others will have an easier time with the higher difficulty levels. That is due to a difference in personal skill.
