Console lobbies are unplayable

Hopped back on console to play with a friend who didn't want PC lobbies and got nothing but laggy match after laggy match.

We both got disconnected from games multiple times and got ban timers from it as well.

You are 11 seasons in and still can't provide stable servers to host your game...what are you even doing over there? Designing the next batch of bad skins or recolors to sell for full price of the original?

  • @chiefthunderball never had issues since the season 9 major crash when people were forced out of the games with abandonment penalties applied alongside that. Happened a few times during season 10 but without penalty and actually with loss forgiveness that sometimes helped when I was having a bad-ranked game.

    Don't know maybe EA rotated bad servers from PC lobbies to console :D

    Have been playing daily on EU and NA server, various ones, never had such major issues, maybe 1 or 2 slow-mo games, some games with higher than usual pings or ping spikes at the beginning of the game, otherwise can't really say servers have become any better or worse. Not ideal I guess is evaluation but playable.
  • @chiefthunderball When it comes to server stability the way I tend to look at it is like this. If the server itself had issues then it would be hitting everyone not just select people. When it comes to connecting to EA servers what a lot do not understand is that your internet provider connects to a hub which then connects to another hub and it keeps going until it reaches EA servers. So chances are the hubs the connection is traveling through are bad. Most internet companies will take calls to ask for a new routing hub if I recall correctly.
