EA connection tool lol

Just checked my latest results as I have delay 99% of the time.

The connection tool aways gave me 98 or 99/100 but now its went down to 80/100 do u want to know why, I was messing with my connection and somehow double natted it and played a match which showed 1% packet loss. " Didn't even know and on the results it showed the game as being completed so must have felt okay or the same as always".

Anyway because of 1 match a friendly I now have an 80/100 connection on the EA connection tool.

Absolute con men.

It means the connection tool is worthless yet EA will keep using it to blame isp's.

  • @NornIron11 Completed just means you finished the game not if you have a problem or not. If you dropped the score it’s because it takes the last 7 days I believe. Since you have changed stuff around that would make sense. Your last post said you was trying wifi or something too.

    So unless I misunderstood not sure what is wrong with your tests.

    • To be fair you could be right I've only played about 10 matches in over a week. 

    I could play 10 more and raise it 99/100 again as the last 4 matches have been 18ms 0 jitter 0 packet loss.

    All unplayable due to the input delay and my AI not reacting. 

    Yeah my WiFi is basically just the same connection score as wired.

    @NornIron11 I am not 100 percent sure but that’s taken from the ea help page explaining it.

    You should also run the game with the online input overlay on to see the difference with delay too. That will give you a real representation of it. If the two controllers are close then it’s little or not delay.

    Which you could have when playing with optimal setup. Then when you are Messi g around with your setup it could be that big 6 second delay. You wouldn’t know how bad without it.

    Also not sure playing a friend is on the servers or is it p2p. I would have to look again so that could even explain it.

    @RadioShaqs  but it's nothing to do with the controller,  the whole game is delayed, my AI etc it feels awful to control, like someone is constantly holding my players back. My AI attempt automatic interceptions when the ball is already past them, so basically makes them useless as they don't just miss the ball but have to recover from making an unnecessary attempt to get the ball.

    Friendlies might be p2p I know they used to be, but again the delay happens when I connect to EA servers so won't matter. My opponents connection doesn't matter they don't get the delay. 

    Unless they have the same problem, Delay from the servers.

    if the gameplay was the same for both players in the same match there wouldn't be half the complaints on here.

    @NornIron11 The controllers represent the delay you have to the server not really the controller not sure from your post if that’s what you mean.

    You can also have controller delay or even in your setup like tv ect. There can be different levels to it.

    In banes last post that you posted in ea explained it’s on your isp or setup if you are experiencing it. Especially if you find your opponent doesn’t have delay then it’s likely on your end somewhere just like banes test showed. Unless things have changed obviously server issues can occur day to day.

    I had a post removed complaining about input delay, amongst other things.

    My controller is wired with a refresh rate of 1000hz, the official xbox controllers run at 125hz. So I have almost 10x the amount of input speed than a normal controller. Even with this there is terrible input delay. 

    I'm on a 1GB direct fibre connection, no other game had this issue only Fifa. It is poorly coded, as we all know.

    What are the devs doing to fix this for 25? There should be no input delay at all.

    @RadioShaqs 

    My isp setup is completely new, A new isp to my area with a new network infrastructure " New  full fiber wires straight to my house' I was one of the first to sign up as i had the delay on my previous isp which was also 1gb fiber " But old wiring etc' 

    So i have the same problem with two completely different isp's who both say its one of the best connections they've ever tested.

    I have two xboxs a series x and s and have tried 3 different tvs even bought a monitor "which i sent back"

    Every test ive done online gives my connection an A*/A or 98/99-100 on everything like speed,latency,packet loss, bufferbloat.

    and EA still say its my connection/Setup.

    But have EA ever done any tests like how they save data to the cloud etc, what are hospitality settings. 

    i just went reading through all the new features added to the game since about 2021 basically in delay the features don't work.

    true ball physics

    explosive sprint

    new animations ( Thats why he game is completely different without delay)

    Tactical AI

    Kinetic air battles ( 90/10 in favor of my opponents height doesnt matter) 

    hypermotion 2  

    machine learning ( so mine learns its in delay)

    Something is stopping all these from happening.

    @NornIron11 Best thing to do would be screenshot the tests and take a short video with the online input overlay on. I know ea doesn’t answer everyone but the odds are much better. This is how noway and banes got an explanation of the tests and videos. It’s nice when ea can give an explanation like those so people know what’s going on with the game and connections.

    The gameplay here is just what I deal with all the time, but look at headers, strength of players, pace in certain situations.

    This might look fast but for me, picking the player to switch to was a nightmare, just turning the players awful like they have no agility.  Look at the players positioning etc my depth is 62 I'm attacking.  I'm battling against my own ai more than anything else. 

    Do u have a link to ea explanation of the others gameplay?

    After that first match I restarted the xbox and live streamed and was alot better. You can see my ai working better and my passes etc better.  

    Maybe live streaming helps my connection a little as them last few matches are the best ive had in weeks.

    it still felt not right but alot better.

    @EA_LeonSK  Can we get someone to look at these both videos, study my AI and play. Thanks.

    2nd video is alot better but just shows how bad the first is even if it doesn't look it.

    Rivals match that ended 4-4 i cant defend if i switch to a defender they move foward very quick, if i dont touch them they do nothing. How many tackles do i win from behind compared to my opponent who makes it look easy" Which it is easy when the gameplay is good".

    Every match is a struggle because my own AI.

    @NornIron11 I don’t give my opinion on the gameplay as it doesn’t matter it’s either up to your isp or ea to fix it.

    Like I said if it’s server issue it’s about how close the two controllers are or apart from each other. One is your local connection. One is your connection to the server. If they are 6 seconds or longer apart then you have massive delay.

    Here is the link to eas response about not getting to everyone and noways videos explanation and about rebounds and thanking everyone for constructive criticism. Click on next ea post and keep going ea made a bunch of posts. You should have the link to banes explanation to why it was his connection as you posted in it.
