Fix the gameplay

Don’t think it really matters. Look at the influx of sa there were so many ea had to consolidate them into one thread. I mean I would pick whatever section the issue is like if it’s fut it would make more sense to have it in the fut section. If it’s a bug it would make more sense to put it in the bug section. 

The issue is that even if you were to post a video, the issues are not visible. The issues with this type of gameplay is that the players feel heavy and don't move as intended. A lot of people use the term "delay" to describe it when that is not true as the inputs register in time. The gameplay does feel delayed though through player movement not being as it should so in some regard players are correct to term it delay but not in the literal sense. The issue has been around for years and is clearly a mechanism introduced by the developers as a form of lag compensation so that people with poor internet can play and not be punished for it. As i say if i showed you a clip of a striker bursting past a defender it is easy for someone to say a mistake was made with positioning or was too late with player switching, or it the stats of the players even though in the context of the whole match one team is moving quicker than the opponents If EA wanted to address this they could but they would rather smooth the gameplay out with lag compensation than address the issue which is fair enough from a business point of view.

You can show delay and a problem with the server. If you run the input overlay on and the controllers are not in sync then you have delay. But yeah just they feel heavy it’s not something you can show and might be down to your setup. 

But this is one of the biggest problems is people try to lump all the problems in the same boat. 

Like noway he has real delay and it’s when he plays against Germans. Others can’t pass. Others say it’s pace. So that’s why it’s important to do all the tests and show it in gameplay. As you can show most of the issues people are claiming. 

There is certainly something in the game that causes the issues people talk about. The best way of describing it is that one team is slightly out of sync with the game. This doesn't manifest itself in button delay as such so the input overlay would not show this. In game it results in players not moving as they should. They either move slightly slower, take extra touches or extra animations, or ai players not pressing or being in the positions they normally would. For me i find my players don't accelerate as the stats would suggest. If i had the exact same players as my opponent then this would result in their attacker being able to run past my defender and i can't catch up, yet up the other end their defender would catch my attacker. It is unfair but it's not something the devs will talk about or improve because it's the lag compensation to allow everyone to play against each other. Ideally they should tweak it so that those with poor internets or wifi get punished more but from a business point of view it is clearly more profitable for them to punish the good internets.  

i do think people get frustrated with this gameplay but everyone describes it slightly differently i.e it's delay and then exaggerate it's effect i.e it takes 2 seconds to respond which is clearly impossible to play. It's probably a fraction of a second if at all, but when the players respond slower (i.e they turn slower or don't accelerate as they should) people assume it's delayed when technically it isn't. We all want a fair game but currently players do get punished depending on where the live and their internet which shouldn't be the case. 

Lag compensation is in every online game.  That wouldn’t be causing the problems you are describing. Sounds more like your setup like needing to be in tv mode.  I’ve never experienced that type of gameplay. 

But yeah if your defenders can’t catch up things like that would be clear to see on video. Also things like players taking extra touches. 

I’ve also seen people confuse delay as they hit the button but actually needing for the ball to either arrive to the player or the player needing to catch up to a ball.  This was explained when he provided video though. 

I get it. It’s just a way to deflect and not actually discuss the topic. That’s why it’s important to actually show what’s going on with gameplay and tests. 

Also rather than try to tear you down I would rather prop you up. I actually think most of you guys in here are smart enough to post like no way which is helping the community. There is no need to try to tear others down. Try to be postive and help the community. Provide the tests and show ea what’s wrong so you can help form change. I get it when things are not working it can be frustrating making you take it out on others.
