Chem styles should be removed entirely @EASPORTSFIFA @EAFIFADirect
1. Defensively, the stats get so close to 99 from the start that players are incentivized to let the AI do the work.
2. Offensively, the best way to beat the defensive AI is to play WITH PACE on the counter.

Chem styles fix the ONLY major stats defenders need.
1. Pace
2. Defense(AI)
Attackers have a plethora of needs that REQUIRE manual inputs to be utilized appropriately, so the only reliable way to beat the defensive AI drop back is to play on the counter using pacey chem.

IF chem styles are removed, defensive AI-based stats become MORE IMPORTANT, and elite defenders will feel more like elite defenders.
Attacking, players will be able to find gaps and make use of non-pace attributes because the defensive AI will not always be in perfect spots.

Fundamentally, this will slow the power curve of the game, making manual inputs MORE important for much longer even with special cards being released. This will increase the skill gap, which I'd argue is fundamentally a good thing.

Additionally, the make #TOTW entirely obsolete because +1 to all of a player's stats is so mall when a chem style boosts some stats by +15 or +10. If chem styles were removed, #TOTW players COULD be given more aggressive boosts, making that content important again.
The one thing I'll add to this is that I think defenders should be given realistic pace attributes. CBs should not have their pace lowered simply because they are CBs. This would help balance many of the physical aspects of the game and put more weight on manual control.
