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 go through the exact same thing, you're not alone
