@Izzy_FUT_Dubs This is exactly the same experience I have had with the last two Fifas and now this FC nonsense.
My connection rate is 98% I took a screen shot of it, usually do after every test.
But like you say, having opponents teams, with the same players usually, run at almost twice your speed, keepers with butter fingers letting the most same shots go, and more so lately, players like Puskas not being able to control the ball properly or at all??? My main bug bear is opponents letting the AI do all the work. EA should never have let it get this far in game. The amount of times folk take advantage of it by not using their defenders, only to see them back track like Usain Bolt, when in fact their pace is say high 70s or low low 80s, out sprinting a high 90s forward...SMH.
Oh and not to forget that my players suddenly become so weak that they have their energy drained so fast by doing nothing ( I dont use constant press) or they bounce off opponents players like kids in a bouncy zone...the game has become a frustration, no a fun game.
