Career Mode is too easy on Ultimate.
I’ve tried everything, even tweaking the sliders, but it’s still way too easy. The AI barely attacks and is super easy to defend against. In most of my matches, they only manage 0–4 shots at best and are lucky to even score once. I’ve tried playing with weaker teams too, but it doesn’t make a difference. I play 4-minute halves, but I don’t think that’s the issue, because 4-minute halves worked perfectly fine in EA FC 25. I've tried player-based difficulty, which kinda helps, but still unrealistic because the AI dribbles way too often even if you lower the dribbling sliders.
Another issue is I found is that when you play with a five-star club like Real Madrid or Man City, you end up with huge scorelines way too often. Sure, high scorelines can happen in real life, but in Career Mode it happens so frequently that it just feels unrealistic. For example, Mbappe has 24 goals in 15 games. I could've scored a lot more, but sometimes I hold back to keep the realism, and I shouldn't have to be doing that.
