Bug -Ping-Cheater
Dear EA Support,
I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment with the current state of online gameplay in FC 24, particularly in the Seasons mode on PlayStation 5.
Despite having a very stable and fast internet connection (12ms ping, wired LAN connection, high-speed plan), I consistently experience massive ping spikes every 10 to 15 minutes during online matches. These sudden spikes render the game unplayable for several seconds and have directly caused me to lose countless matches. I have done everything on my end:
- Switched to wired connection
- Used multiple DNS configurations (Cloudflare, Google DNS)
- Forwarded all necessary ports
- Disabled all background apps and auto-updates on PS5
- Even tested different times of the day to see if the issue persisted
Nothing has helped. This leads me to the obvious conclusion: the issue is on EA’s servers.
Adding to this, the number of cheaters in online matches has become unbearable. Players are clearly using unfair tools or connection manipulation, and yet there seems to be little to no enforcement or action taken by EA. Reporting them in-game is ineffective, as nothing ever changes and the same types of exploits continue to ruin the experience.
What is even the point of playing competitively if fairness is not enforced and network quality is ignored?
We, the players, deserve a stable online experience — especially when we’ve paid full price for the game and invest countless hours in it. Right now, the online gameplay in FC 24 is in an unacceptable state, and I urge EA to take immediate action to:
- Investigate and resolve server-side issues causing regular ping spikes.
- Actively moderate and ban cheaters who are ruining the competitive experience.
- Communicate transparently with the player base regarding these problems.
I look forward to a response, but more importantly — I hope to see actual results, not just automated replies.
Sincerely,
