Correct the connectivity between internet speeds

Dear EA, After analysing hundreds of online games where my team's players have been blasted past by the opposition I have found the cause. My MS has been consistently rated as 10 MS (very good). Ev...

@Cross42Bones It doesn’t work like that it’s not p2p. Here is eas help page post below when they added servers. You might be having connection issues though you would have to run the connection score and match history.

EAS FC uses game data centers so that someone else’s connection doesn’t impact your own gameplay experience. The game data center handles the distribution of gameplay information to all players.

The center collects inputs from your game at a set interval of time, then sends this information back to everyone else in a match. This happens at the same time for all players and is determined by their individual connections.

For example, if one player is streaming 4K movies and trying to play on a weak Wi-Fi signal, their activities shouldn’t impact anyone else in that match. The game data center still sends the information at the same interval.

A game data center acts as the host of the match in multiplayer matches.

Thank you for the information. I can't pretend to understand it all as I'm over 50 and no IT expert.

However, the fact remains that the ONLY online matches I've won in the last two years of FIFA 23 and FC 24 have been when MS is close to my 10 or when an opponent has chosen to lose, ie concede a goal straight from kick off and then quits.

Nothing else is using my internet connection, it's wired rather than wireless as wireless can be disrupted by EM output from neighbours devices such as washing machines, tumble driers etc when you live in a block of flats and have neighbours above, below, left and right of you.

For example tonight had two consecutive matches where I'm 3-0 down inside 5 minutes of the match clock as opponent with 18 MS blasts past my players of 90+ rating and 90+ pace as if they are at walking speed.

  Hi,
  Wasn't "allowed" to reply on Thursday with connection score now attached.
  I really don't understand why the online experience I have is so completely garbage.
  I've played 8 champions matches today:
  1st match - ms 12 I win after being 1-0 up and opponent quiting
  Next 5 matches - ms 18-24, players speed and response slower than opponent - in one of these matches 82 rated Joelinton blasted through from midfield 3 times to score without any of my players being able to keep up (team overall rating 94, no player with pace less than 90.
  7th and 8th - ms 16, quick off game pauses for me, catches up after 5-10 mins of match time and I'm down 2-0 and 3-0 respectively.
