Squad Battles Bug (Ultimate): AI GK Plays in Midfield & Player Covers Net

Issue Overview:
There is a severe AI positioning and role-assignment bug occurring in Squad Battles when playing on Ultimate Difficulty. During open play, the AI opponent's goalkeeper completely abandons the penalty box and plays upfield in the middle of the pitch like a standard outfield player. Simultaneously, the AI assigns a regular outfield player to stand on the goal line to cover the net, even though that player cannot use their hands to save or catch the ball.

In-Game Video Evidence:

As seen in the attached Squad Battles clip (around the 79th minute), the opponent's goalkeeper (wearing the green kit) is positioned near the halfway line, chasing the ball and tracking back alongside defenders. Meanwhile, a regular outfield player (in the blue kit) is stationed inside the six-yard box acting as a makeshift goalkeeper. Because the covering player lacks goalkeeper mechanics and cannot catch the ball with their hands, a simple pass across the box results in an effortless tap-in goal.

Impact on Squad Battles Gameplay:

  • Broken Ultimate Difficulty Immersion: Ultimate difficulty in Squad Battles is meant to provide the highest offline tactical challenge, but this bug completely breaks the AI's defensive structure and turns matches into a farce.
  • Corrupted AI Tactical Position Swapping: When managing custom community squads in Squad Battles, the CPU's in-game tactical adjustments appear to be mistakenly swapping the goalkeeper's assigned position with an outfield player.

Recommended Fix:

Fix the AI squad management and dynamic tactics logic in Squad Battles on Ultimate difficulty to strictly lock the Goalkeeper (GK) role, preventing the CPU from ever swapping the goalkeeper into an outfield position or assigning outfield players to cover the net.
