Most players in general but defenders especially seem to be playing low percentage long passes much more than they realistically should be and than it was in FM22, in my specific example lots of long balls from defence mainly aimed at the DLP in centre midfield even with multiple short passing team instructions, same theme across multiple games (5-6 played so far)
In the attached pkm of a game, passing information from analytical data post match as follows for my team Barnet (passes in total regardless of completion, interception etc):
Long passes: 115
Medium passes: 147
Short passes: 248
Passing information as follows for opposition Chesterfield:
Long passes: 99
Medium passes: 152
Short passes: 315
Some relevant (or not) tactic information for my team - 433 DM Wide formation, balanced mentality, team instructions set to much shorter passing, slightly lower tempo (standard setting), play out of defence, pass into space, counter when possession has been won, low block, no individual player instructions to pass more direct
Some good examples of an unwarranted long pass attempt is at 8.40 by Irvine, 18.17 by Scott, 23.29 by Labeau, 27.39 by Labeau, 32.12 by Buxton, 34.29 by Labeau, 36.29 by Buxton (blatantly the wrong choice), 60.04 by Irvine, 64.13 by Hastings, 67.16 by Irvine just to name a few
Noteworthy: Seemingly every time a player gets a short pass from the keeper distributed from the goal kick he always kicks it long, opposition players are in general vicinity but not being pressed or under pressure 9 times out of 10 (another again at 39.54 by Labeau)
Unrelated but to note: goal at 11.44 of attached game the left back does not challenge for the header even while standing essentially inside the opposition player resulting in opposition goal
