Why does my team lose simulations with good players and win with bad ones?

I had been playing that team vs cpu, and they had 99 spirit with an 88 leadership manager.

In regards to number 2 - I’ve been playing football game since for more than a decade. I control my defenders, and I can tell when something just isn’t right. It happened my first game of today.I was up 2-0 in the 85th minute. I was playing possession and I don’t sprint all that much - my players weren’t that tired. The cpu scored twice, and I suddenly couldn’t get the ball off anyone even with solid tackles. You can tell something isn’t right. It isn’t as obvious as what EA does, but I’m still disappointed. I just want a football game with a level playing field ALL the time.
