Squad Battles and FC 25 in general
Not really looking for answers but assuming someone at EA has a file drawer with complaints that they proceed to set on fire at the end of the week please add this to the list. 1. Reducing squad battles games is the dumbest decision I've ever seen. This from the same company that waited a decade to release a new college football game shouldn't be surprising but is. I've been buying Fifa in release for a decade plus now, this change is the first time I'm seriously considering not buying next years. 2. Trying to make a complaint or get an answer from this company is the most atrocious system of links and "helpful" articles I've ever seen. I'd be embarrassed if a mom and pop shop had this level of anti costumer service, EA is just a small indie company though. The sad thing is FC 25 is actually great, I've loved every game I've played. Just sad now that only amounts to 12 per week.
It's not possible to Connect to ultimate team. Now you will get back to main meu
I'm connected to EA servers on PS4 with the Ultimate Edition purchased. I'm on the main menu but can access ultimate team as a message says its not possible to connect to Ultimate Team, and takes you back to main menu. I asked to the EA help chat but it makes me check connectivity issues I don't have as I play other EA games online with no problem, see my friends online playing... Any help? Is this an issue from the servers on PS4? Thanks!
Hacking/Cheating situation in EAFC 25 Ultimate Team PC
Dear EA FC 25 TEAM, Dear EA Community Guides, In an act of desperation I'm once again turning to this Answers HQ. My central question is: Are you AWARE of the current situation/state of EA FC 25 Ultimate Team on PC regarding the insane amount of hacking/cheating thats going on? If YES: Are you currently working on fixing this mess by releasing a SUBSTANTIAL update to the basically non-existent EAAntiCheat software? If NO here is a rough description of the history AND current situation of EAFC 25 UT Champs on PC: The past few versions of EAFC/FIFA Ultimate Team on PC always had problems with players/accounts (especially at a good FUT Champs record, f.e. 10-0) being able to disconnect the game right after kick-off resulting in a win for the hacker/cheater and a no-contest disconnection for the opponent. In the coommunity this so called "no-loss glitch" is suspected to be used by loads of accounts to farm coins to sell them on 3rd party markets. Its basically a virtual economy that has been built inside the game on an illegal (hacking) foundation. This in itself led to an unacceptable state of UT Champs on PC the past few years. The only "upside" was: Victims of the "no-loss glitch" didn't recieve a loss and could repeatedly queue matches in Champs until they eventually found a non-hacking opponent. Now to EAFC 25 UT Champions on PC: The current state of the gamemode can only be described by this term: UNPLAYABLE AND OUT OF CONTROL. There are still the same amount of "no-loss glitchers" that you encounter especially often at a good champs record. ADD to that further variations of hacking that occur now which even result in a loss if you get queued against them. F.e. hackers are currently able to: Disconnect opponents out of the game and wining the match, manipulating the opponent's team stats like making there players unmoveable or being able to completely control the opponents team at the same time, so they're able to win easily. We're at a point where RANK 1 (15 Wins) has become virtually impossible to achieve on PC because you are guaranteed to face a hacker/cheater sooner or later. The connected issue with this is that the transfermarket on PC is completely broken. Coin farming through hacking has hyper-inflated the market for players like Gold Mbappé who is extinct at max price of 5 million coins because people start buying coins illegally on 3rd market plattforms (which is by the way a breach of your terms of service as far as I am aware of). Hackers/Cheating are completely breaking the whole Ultimate Team gamemode right now on PC. At this point I could even understand people calling for a refund of the game because parts of it are (and have been) unplayable for an extended period of time now, without any official communication by EA. Whatever the EAAntiCheat is supposed to prevent, IT DOESN'T WORK. FIX THIS MESS. I recommend browsing the r/EASportsFC on reddit, you'll find threads about this subject with ease. I will also try to post links to videos of the hacking/cheating thats going on currently (note: These are not my videos, but they show scenes that I also encountered recently in EAFC 25): https://www.reddit.com/r/EASportsFC/comments/1gbw8y7/stay_safe_out_there/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ULOJOKrISM As I asked before: Are the devs even aware about what's going on on PC (bc sometimes you'd think they're not) and what is being done to fix this? Or are we going to be stuck with this state of the game until september '25? I can't even report all the cheaters/hackers I'm facing in one FUT Champions competition on a weekend through the EA App because they're to many... Are reports via the EA App even reviewed/checked or can I just leave it because it doesn't matter?PS5-FC25 Slow and Unresponsive gameplay when connected to EA servers
Console: PS5 Game: FC25 Country: India Issue: Unresponsive and slow gameplay on ultimate team. tested 6 ISPs at 4 different locations yet facing the same issue. Hello! I have been playing Ultimate team since December 2023 on FC24 and now I play the same on FC25. I was hoping the slow gameplay would be fixed in FC25 but nothing has changed. I see it as a server issue more than my internet because I have travelled to 4 different locations tried multiple ISPs and nothing worked for me. I have had normal/perfect gameplay exactly in 6 games and that is why I can actually tell the difference when the gameplay is fine and when it is not. Sometimes it drops off mid game and suddenly my whole team becomes slow. I am winning 5-1 at 60mins and now the gameplay becomes slower and I concede 6 goals. I cant pass nor keep the ball. My players just wont move. Problem is the whole team is slow AND the opponents are faster than you. This happens to me in every single game. My players move slow. Well one for example, the pace is fine but the time it takes for the players to react and reach their top speed is too long and anyone can catchup with my pacey players. Observations: 1. What I have noticed is that even SQUAD BATTLES which is an offline game where you are playing against AI is slow and unresponsive. 2.This led to be see if being connected to EA servers affects my gameplay so I played kickoff games while being connected to EA servers and a few games without it and I could actually see the difference. Sometimes kick-off games were also quite slower while being connected to EA servers. 3.Competitive mode: I participated in the FC 25 pro open ladders. I was told that competitive mode works peer2peer(p2p) where servers are not involved between the two players connection when you select the 'DIRECT' option as your server. Well even in this case, my players were reacting slower than my opponent. This somewhat implies that being connected to EA server (which you need to be, to be able to play online) affect your gameplay inadvertently. 4. The problem i am talking about is across all the game formats be it Rivals, Champs, Rush, Clubs, Seasons, Friendlies...... you name it! 5. Next, I decided to play ultimate team with a different account on the same PS5, same ISP, and at the same location. Now the gameplay actually worked better on this account for a few games. I started seeing the same issue again after a few games. It was not a perfect gameplay but it was definitely better than what I had on my main account but that lasted for only a few games. Not more than a day. Well then, I checked the next day it worked decent, again not perfect. I can tell the difference when it is perfect! What does this mean? 6. Another issue I have noticed is UNBELIEVABLE!!!! sometimes the gameplay is much smoother on Wi-Fi!!!! Yes, i have switched between Wi-Fi and LAN alternatively every game and when Wi-Fi works better it just works better. This is unbelievable. I have video recordings of everything but this. I cant really prove it you. You will have to just take my word for it. This is definitely weird. 7. Gameplay is faster during late nights and very slow during the day. Especially Monday nights I get better connection so I am assuming when servers are not as busy we get better connection. It is like I am on the bottom of the pile on priority. Why should this matter? Why should we wait for a certain time to have a decent connection forget about perfect. Shouldn’t we be getting good connection 24*7? Why is that a huge deal? Or why isn’t it a huge deal when a lot of people post about this issue? CONNECTION QUALITY REPORT: I have also looked into EA connection quality report. I have played on multiple ISPs at different locations as I have already mentioned. I have had connections scores ranging from 70 to 98. I had a connection which consistently had a 'GREAT' connection quality, 20ms Ping, 0 jitter, 0% packet loss. This was one of the worst connection I ever played on as it consistently gave me a slow gameplay and never improved. I asked my ISP do some changes like changing IP and default gateway and that did not help either. Some games which had a 'poor' connection quality actually was better than having a 'great' connection quality. That is because one ping spike mid-game can affect your quality to go from 'great' to 'poor' I can certainly tell you that the connection quality report does not in any way reflect the problem I am facing (in fact a lot of people around the world are facing). This means there is something that is going unnoticed on your servers/'Net-code'/ or I do not know. None of us know how you have everything structured so we can't really point at anything. This is something you should be really be taking seriously and trust me you will get a lot more active players around the world. I have also faced the same issue in a different country while I was there. Does that mean something is wrong with certain accounts? Well refer #no.5 under observations. to add to this: I have reset my PS5 I have cleared cache and rebuilt database restored licenses deactivated EA login verification and played and activated it back again. (as instructed by support) made new team and discarded old one( as instructed) NOTHING WORKED I hope an EA admin takes this seriously and passes it on concerned people Please let me know if you need more data or inputs from me. I can provide video recordings as well. I urge anyone that is going to be replying under this thread to keep it civil and stay calm and ignore if anyone blames your internet for the issue. Let's not rage which we all do because of the horrendous gameplay due to poor servers. We need EA to look into this and fix it. Also Please comment here if you are facing the same issue!! Thank you
