Well this explains everything. This needs fixing ASAP. Clubs is unplayable and has been since release. 

Leaving a comment so that hopefully EA will fix this

Crazy how they still don’t fix this issue!!

I thought I was going crazy due to my tactics changing depth and even player role when in game. But holy **bleep** it's a thing. Let's not even talk about how my defenders are absolute trash whilst the opponents gets to have Maldinis in the back. I can't even outrun their LB/RB or dribble past them knowing full well I have max accel/speed/dribble build, with trickster+. I mean, they even catch up to me when I'm running. I have to always run back to defend with my mate which drains our stamina early on, even with stamina perk on. It's a **bleep** show.

I've just noticed this has been posted 18 days ago but no official response lmao. 

We have the same problem, my friends and me in our games the defenders does not defend or whatsoever they just walk blindly with no reaction or roles. And now I see where the problem is from. It has been happening since the start of the game

This is beyond shameful and embarrassing. While we’ve come to expect EA’s neglect, this is a new low. Just because Clubs doesn’t bring in the same money as Ultimate Team doesn’t mean it should be left in a broken, unplayable state.

Me and my friend (original poster) discovered a game-breaking bug on day one—over 225 days ago—and it’s still here. The most obvious issue? The AI in Clubs has NEVER had roles. CDMs don’t sit. CBs don’t hold the line. Fullbacks bomb forward and disappear. It’s chaos. It’s been chaos since release.

 We used to go 40-0 into Elite without breaking a sweat. We know how to play. But we physically can’t compete anymore—not because of the opponents, but because of the broken AI logic. And to make it worse, we submitted full video proof over 20 days ago and still haven’t heard a single word back. No fix. No update. No acknowledgment.

Let’s be honest—if this happened in Ultimate Team, it would've been fixed in under 48 hours. But because it’s Clubs, EA looks the other way. And honestly, at this point, it feels intentional—like they want to quietly funnel players into UT where the money is. 

What makes this even worse is that Clubs was the last genuinely fun mode left. We used to hop on, have a laugh, and still be able to compete. But that’s been stripped away from us.

225 days. No AI roles. No fix. No communication .

 Fix Clubs.

I really thought I was the only one that noticed, but thank you so much for posting this. I feel like ea doesn’t give a **bleep** about pro clubs whatsoever, we play elite division and our bots still play like that have 0 def awareness they don’t press or mark, they’re like headless chickens running around. hope ea sees this 

A very simple issue that could be fixed with a single update, yet there's no response from EA.

As for me, I see much bigger problems in Clubs mode — related to gameplay, skill games, and the club store.

But as long as EA’s policy is that you need a million likes and votes just for them to look at a simple issue and fix it, I find this extremely frustrating.

Disgraceful company. All you EA employees need to get a grip. Especially the lame ones who are reading this and doing jack squat
