What the ... happened with Squad Battles

Has anyone been playing today? I have just finished WC match with a 83/90 squad, that played constant pressure throughout the match. I have won (4-0) but it was annoying. Naturally, they were running in the 90' as in the 9'. I forgot to check the posession. Out of 6 matches today in SB, at least 3 times there was some sort of pressure. I got used to be pressured on Legendary, when 2-0 up, usually they are pressing untill you score 1 or 2 more and then stop. But this was ridicilous.

    Yeah, I’ve played a few tonight. Played a bronze 62 on world class, I normally win these by quite a lot but they actually scored against me. Mental!

    Do they not just use the tactics that the original team had. I know everyone been doing the Suarez objective has been using pressure so it probably reflects in the teams you are facing in SBs

    This makes some sense. I typically just play the first one or two games per refresh anymore. Usually for objectives. I just can’t handle playing against anything 80 rated or up on 100 chem. Their possession is just ridiculous.

    I prefer it, it's much more relaxing playing a computer than playing another person who just uses cheap tactics and exploits the whole game.

    You can skip cut scenes and celebrations. The AI doesn't pause 3 times for 30 seconds when you're winning or pass it around their backline when they are winning.

    The joy is when you play with a real person, even if he's toxic, but hey, we are not al the same

    I think the ai is programmed to copy what is effect for the player base,

    We hardly cross for headers coz it’s not effective now ai does the same

    Ai does step overs when not under pressure lol feel like they are copying this from us too

    Ai now runs across the goal line from the corner flag looking for a sweaty cut back

    Even saw the ai hack me down when clean on goal

    I think they have maybe tried to make it a little harder to make scoring 30 goals etc take longer, their all about the grind, if it's harder for us it's easier for them lol
