Re: Please This isnt a fun online game

Try running the connection score with match history here. You might have jitter or packet loss. Also try wired if you are not already. Then run the game with the online input overlay on. This will tell you how bad your delay is or isn’t. If your two controllers on screen are say 6 seconds apart then you have really bad delay. If they are in sync then you have little to no delay.

    Man, you don't even know what you're talking about.

    After all, controller delays are related to the state of servers that are in poor health.

    You experience delays not only in matches but also in the UT main menu.

    If you do 80+ exchanges, after a few such series you have to exit and log in again.

    We all have many games on HDD and only FC24 has delays - this is the best proof. Your advices have nothing to do with reality tbh.

    I'm curious which division do you play in, how many matches you play and whether you have any practical knowledge.

    I’ve played since fifa 12 and never had any delay. I mean I did before the servers were added. You would get that start stop lag. Once the servers were added I don’t get any delay. 

    But yeah if you do have delay take a short video and show ea. if you have that big 6 second delay your controllers will be behind each other on the screen. If its a server problem then ea can look into it like they did with sa and fix it. 

    But yeah I always check my delay because people say it’s always bad but I never have any otherwise I would report it to help out the community. 

  • I always check my delay because people say it’s always bad but I never have any

    Even Pro Streamers from the elite division on the best equipment with over 10 years of experience have huge delays and you write something like this. If you've been playing offline since FIFA 12, that's no surprise.

    I’ve never played offline besides doing squad battle objectives which I dislike. I think you thought this from before servers it was p2p so someone was the host. Lag was bad back then. 

    Well hopefully this thread fills up with video examples if you think everyone has issues with the servers that way ea can look into it. 

    I can only give my experience and when I do all the tests my connection and input overlay is fine.

    I don’t know what can I write here because in all my life i was and I am a low abiding, never broke any rule in my life and yet EA feels different. 
    There are number of things we all write about and yet I can not see someone from EA speaking up. 
    My Game crashes several Times during a day. My players are now stuck on the transfer list i can not do anything.

    I try to believe in a fair matchmaking but when you are 5 games down you expect to play with someone easier, but you are facing even someone more terrifying you start to wonder am I matched with a correct person?
    I will not write anything about the packs, because it is completely random. But what I read about pack content it’s not something that will make my go to the store and spend real money. Hard earned money. Thanks but no thanks.

    Delay in the game. Don’t get me started on this one. This is a topic long as a Nile river. Does anyone from EA said anything constructive about what we are experiencing? The are matches in which I pass the ball to me nearest player and yet the ball is taken away from me because the player that was nicely distant from my player has the speed of Flash an gets to the ball before my player. 
    The incsonsistensy of this game is incredible. In one match you are God, you can do whatever you like, but the next match there is a change, and you can not do anything. How can I play like crap and God - the same day, same players, same concentration.
    Have to run. Let’s hope for better, hope dies at the end.

    Ea has addressed the delay a lot. They make about a post a day. They also did 4 or 5 pitch notes on the servers. They are pretty informative about it. They also went over 5 or 6 videos of noways videos so it’s nice to see what they said and that they pass it on and give feedback.

    @RadioShaqs Ok, Let’s say it’s all true. You are the speaker so you are well informed, but did it change anything? How come when I played Fifa 23 I did not felt the delays I feel now. How come I have Ping 2-6 ms and STILL CAN SEE RED AND YELLOW ICONS informing me there is sth wrong with the connection.
    How come i have pictures of my packet loss - normally it’s 0% loss, but when I play EA FC 24 i have 0,17 - 0,26 depending on the game. I have tons of pictures because i tried for months to no have this problem so i did like hundreds of things to improve, to check, time wasted. When I play on my server it’s in most of the cases it’s ok, but when i am thrown on some other server than mine, OMG. I loose every time. Believe me i am not the worst player - currently div 6, in Fifa 23 i got every week 9-11 wins, now I can dream of wining 11 games. 8 is max. so i deteriorate? Got old? What happened?

    If you read the pitch notes it gives examples of why this could be happening. One of the common issues is how your isp routes you. This has happened in sa when the undersea cables went down. Then ea had to reroute people to Middle East. Least I think they did would have to reread the thread. 

    The point is when enough report it they look into it. It’s hard to tell what’s going on unless you post the tests and show a video of it. 

    But if you have all the warning signs going off it’s possible it’s on your end. If 800-900 report it like sa it’s also possible it’s a server issue.

    @RadioShaqs I've done all these. Got 2ms, 0.06% jitter and 0.02% packet loss. Still I have terrible. I am on wired too. Reinstalled, deleted save data, rebuilt and cleared cache. Nothing helps, even port forward

    No but it would probably be easier if I did when trying to help others. It seems pretty simple though with a video you can see the delay or lack of it.

    @LukeNuke3000D I believe you. The game is so different from squad battles. I can't even dribble, passes take forever to execute, tackles over 3 secs late. I just believe it is something to do with my account or the games programming.

    Even if you don’t want to take video as I know not everyone can. What do you see when running the online input overlay?  Are your controllers in sync?  Is one on the screen 6 seconds behind the other controller beside it on the screen?  This will let you know how bad the delay is or isn’t.

    I can't take a video, I don't even know where to start so stop insisting. The point is, if there is a fix what the hell is it please. 

    I just played a match with an average player, his team is faster than mine and plays like prime Messi with the left stick. I can't sprint or even left stick dribble like I do in squad battles or offline with friends.

    I've attached the QR on the match which I had terrible delay. Now use that to make an excuse. It better be good.

    It’s not about making an excuse. Without all the tests it’s just guessing what’s going on. That’s why it’s important to do them with the input overlay on. Ea made a post today they are not seeing any reports of server issues. Unless more post reports and they will likely ask for examples like they have before it’s on your isp. 

    When sa had server issues people were reporting it and when ea asked for more info they gave it. I was the first to say it looked like an issue and redirected people to post in the big thread so it’s possible to see a problem on both ends. 

    So if you want to fix it contact your isp or hope more provide evidence of server issues line sa did.

    Don't listen to this guy. He is a famous shoe licker.

    First of all, the truth is that the servers went down  saturday  night  and you couldn't log in for about 8 hours

    (of course, all the servers were green on the EA website).

    The FUT championship was played until Tuesday and since then they haven't serviced the servers yet and the game lags.

    The last update probably increased the AI ​​system again. Currently I'm playing in the 3rd division and I have problems with development due to huge lag and strong AI + delays in switching or defending.

    In the previous edition, I played in division 1 because everything worked. The current strong AI gives great opportunities to weaker but richer players. Such as Halland 97, Messi with this strong AI after losing the ball they immediately wins it back. This happened sometimes in previous editions, but not on this scale.

    And I don't listen to this radio because I don't like its music.

    @LukeNuke3000D You just describe my experience. My AI defenders do the weirdest things like open a gap in defence when no one is at the flanks. Stumble on nothing or just press the wrong direction. One I hate the most is when I icon switch, they keep sliding to another direction before collecting themselves. I am extremely sad about this development but when I think of it. I haven't played other games in a while.

    @RadioShaqs Okay, let me make it easy. Let's assume it's shows 6sec delay. WHAT IS THE REMEDY!?

    my point is with simple descriptions, common or fixed faults can be attended to with ease. I've described enough. I have go QR but experience delay or slow gameplay while people I play don't.

    What do you mean let’s assume you have delay?  Do you have delay or not?  This is why you should be playing with the input overlay on. If you have delay your controllers on screen won’t be in sync. 

    The fix would be to report it I get it you won’t which is fine I don’t care but if enough report it ea can look into it like they did for sa. 

    Actually see ea responded to your post in the other section so hopefully they can walk you through the process. I know they can’t get to everyone but nice when they can as it helps the communty.
