Ive noticed it a little myself, but not too bad, but more and more as time goes on I see examples, for example today ive even noticed the solo battles are DEF harder, even on rookie difficulty its def not playing like it used to (like rookie, more like all pro competitive woth flashes of all madden at times) not enough to make me even close to feel in jeopardy of losing but enough to be more of a headache and a real risk getting some objectives done while zoning out watching something/listening to something like i usually do with most solos/solo battle grinds. Theyre also getting more creative with plays and formations and more unpredictable.
Normally wouldnt mind but combined with certain other things this year (less solo content in general, gating the latest promos solos behind needing certain cards etc) i feel like its just another way to drive NMS/offline grinders to online/spending more money and its irritating at best.
