Try running the connection score and match history here. It will give you a better idea of how your connection is to the servers. Then you can run the the game with the input overlay this will tell you if you have delay or not. If the two controllers on screen are in sync you have little to none. If the one is say 6 seconds behind then you have delay.
There's way too many people out there saying the exact same things for this to be down to their wifi or connection. We all saw what happened on Tuesday evening and how bad the servers were then, it's clearly a carry-over from that because for the majority of the time i've had smooth gameplay for the last month

I dunno why it’s a waste of time if you check your internet at say speed tests it’s going to be different when you check ea servers. When you do the tests it gives you an idea if it’s a connection Issue or ea server issue.
- BanesSolace1 year agoSeasoned Veteran@RadioShaqs Bro this is getting old, if there are a series of fix we can do, let us know. Not every in each region or using similar isp are suffering the same. So its clearing more of the game than just the server.
JUST LIST THE FIXES!!- number51 year agoNew Veteran
That is what I keep saying. Our ISP's are collectively transporting us to the same servers using the same mechanisms all over the globe. Most things being equal, we shouldnt all experience the same thing, destined for the same place when we are all on different medium and in different areas.
Why does FIFA have such a bad "connection" (since thats the excuse for the "gameplay") and other games from the same manufacturer do not?
It is far more likely the game is severely flawed than it is that hundreds and thousands of players have similar inconsistency issues regardless of day of week/time of day and have been having them since the inception of Ultimate Team.
"old school" lag and delay was very noticeable when the gameplay was stable (pre FIFA 16). You could play any online mode and the game behaved the same. Now, every day, every match, every player, every camera angle, every tactic, every setting, every mode is inconsistent.

@RadioShaqs it's a waste of time because we all know it's the EA servers that are the problem. Today, for the second time this week, we've got an extended period of time where a large % of people are being disconnected from servers when an opponent quits, or when they finish a game, so they're being given losses regardless of whether they won the game or not
I totally understand your rationale behind doing the input overlay and I know you're just trying to help etc... but it's not going to make any difference. When the gameplay is bad, the gameplay is bad, we can't do anything to change that. You can look on reddit, twitter, this forum etc.. and the vast majority of threads are about A) upcoming content and B) Poor/delayed gameplay.
Yesterday playing rivals, the gameplay was an absolute joke, it was unresponsive and sluggish and it wasn't the same smooth gameplay i've had for the last month or so consistently. Then... a few hours later I played the cup and all of a sudden the gameplay was 10x more responsive despite using significantly worse players. It's clear as day to see (Especially from the major issues this week with disconnects, laggy menus, failure to open packs or assign items etc...) that it's a problem on EA's end that's impacting the majority, if not all of the community of players. People aren't just criticising this game because they've got nothing better to do, there's major problems with it and EA haven't addressed any of them
- RadioShaqs1 year agoHero@Cam3131 I get that you think it’s a server issue but just like banes ea will ask him to do the test to determine it. I get it bane said he won’t add any more detail he just wants it fixed which is fine I don’t care I don’t have a problem with the servers.
If you do and so do other people in this thread and want it looked at the tests are important if you want ea to look into it like they did with sa.
Without them it just looks like an isp issue.
- BanesSolace1 year agoSeasoned Veteran@Cam3131 Try playing some squad battles, edit custom tactics a bit, emphasis on a bit. I did that and somehow the delay disappeared.
I am starting to think it's not just a server issue but a bug in the system.
My players felt like gold cards, went into the custom tactics and made some adjustments, behold my players became responsive defense and offence wise.
Just try..I just know I too am tired if this game
