Clubs Mode: Defensive AI Bots Keep Losing Possession Under Pressure

I am writing to report a very frustrating and significant issue in Clubs Mode (Pro Clubs) that is severely impacting gameplay, particularly in lower-man teams that rely on AI defenders. I observe this problem most acutely when playing Drop-In Matches.

The problem is that the AI defender bots frequently and easily lose the ball when attempting to dribble or move forward from the defensive third. This is not a matter of poor passing decisions; it's a direct loss of possession, often resulting in the opponent dispossessing them with a simple challenge or even just a run alongside them.

This happens far too often—we are conceding 1-2 goals per match directly from our own AI defenders losing the ball around their own penalty area. This lack of ball security makes playing out from the back with AI nearly impossible and awards cheap, unavoidable goals to the opposition.

The AI needs a significant improvement in ball control and shielding when in possession in their own half. We urge the development team to investigate this issue immediately as it is currently breaking the flow and competitiveness of Clubs matches.
