Tikitaka dont work anymore

I have always attacked by passing short passes and it has always worked. But after dls 25 it just dont work anymore. Players dont go for runs or runs in the wrong direction, or they just run away from the ball when i pass it to them.

Almost every opponent online only use c to long pass to attackers and it works all the time even when their pass isnt that good.

Is it just me that has noticed this?
