EA has really fallen off, this is how good the CPU AI used to be.

I stopped playing EA Sports FC 26 and went back to FIFA 15, and the difference was striking. The CPU AI in FIFA 15 feels far more intelligent, they attack with purpose, position themselves well, and adapt their tactics depending on whether they’re leading or trailing.

The gameplay also feels more grounded. The ball physics have a noticeable weight to them, and player movement feels more natural, with feet that seem properly planted in contrast to the Ice-skating movement we have in recent FC games today
