New mayors pass challenges

I have been playing for years, do not belong to a club or compete in club wars and do not have the time or desire to do so. Since the latest update, my challenge options in the mayors competition have dwindled to 1in10 (with 15 left to go) that is not related to club wars. Is this done purposely to push players to conform to EAs idea of how the game should be played? Is it perhaps a glitch? Can it be corrected so that I may continue to enjoy the game in my own way? All players can compete when the challenges are related to the original game play, not so as it is now. Please correct this.
