Thats harsh very harsh
The amount of "rubber banding" or the AI getting a "boost" of sorts is a joke. I'm dominating the AI in FUT, 2-0 up 20 mins to go and I need 2 points to win the title. The AI become untouchable, unable to string passes together, can't get the ball off them, it's like my players don't exist and they score the equaliser with less than 30 seconds to go.

Probably a very sensible thing to do! I'm tempted too but I don't want to waste coins/money on FUT draft while I'm waiting.

It ruins the game for me

Yup it should be down to the players skill, not because the game deems you need help by turning your players into amateur league players.
/edit. Sold my Seria A squad as i was getting bored of it, what's a good league to look at for 4-3-3(4) with 70kish coins? Been looking at a Brazilian, Bundesliga or BPL squad.

Brazilian I'd say for that amount of cash.
Yeah that's what i was looking at, had a quick look at a Bundesliga team and wasn't to struck so it'll be Brazilian or a semi-good BPL team. Haven't bought any points, just been hammering out the online games earning coins, so don't have a lot.

Gave away another win earlier because of a BS penalty in the last minute. At least I didn't lose I suppose, also managed a 2-0 win after that, felt good. Finally!

It could be argued that your own players inability to retain possession going into the latter stages of a game in the lead is representative of "nerves" on behalf of the players.
But lets face it, that's complete ********
Realism my ****ing arse.
There should be nothing influencing the game or morale (heard it called that before) of players that is not directly controlled by the player. Phantom things happening you have zero control over is BS.

Although I do see the AI reacting differently from time to time which is highly annoying. One of the main things I have noticed is stamina makes a huge difference imo. If you play the whole game sprinting (holding RT or R2) by the end of the game, usually the last 20mins game time, your players have no stamina left and are just awful. I started using sprint a lot less and I notice the difference towards the end of the game that the players are less "useless" than before. In 15 you could run all day and still have loads of stamina at the end, 16 it seems to drain a lot quicker.
