My opponent's seemingly weaker players perform like superstars in EA Sports FIFA as mine make uncharacteristic mistakes. Why are they acting sluggish?

To make FIFA more fun to play, change the settings and factors that affect how well players do:

• Turn off Analog Sprint so players don't feel slow. If you're not sure how the gameplay sliders affect the player's speed and responsiveness, go back and reset them to their original settings. For best results, make sure that your custom tactics match your play style and formation.

• Fixing connection problems will help cut down on online lag, which can make it harder for players to respond and make decisions. Some players think that "scripting" or "momentum swings" might affect match fairness, which could help weaker players do better, but this hasn't been proven. Keep the players on your team getting along well with each other to avoid performance penalties.

• Keep an eye on how fit your players are to keep their speed and responsiveness from dropping. Think about the work rates and positions of your players to improve your defense and keep your team from being open to attack. Change your strategies and player choices to effectively counter your opponents' strategies, as some play styles may take advantage of holes in your defense.
