@lansenyl That’s a shame they wouldn’t fix it for you. Maybe try to get a new isp but then again you don’t have the game so it really doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t accept that from my isp.

@RadioShaqs
Well, I do have the game AND i'm having the same issues. The FIFA games were always full of lags but in the past i managed to overcome most of them by messing with dns gates and other settings, but with this game it doesn't help.
As i said: ping is 15ms. According to the EA connection quality tester, i have the best ISP in the region. Rebooted everything possible, cleared every possible cache, re-installed the game, etc.
Claiming that very few people are experiencing these problems is total bs. Do a quick search on the net, EA FC lags are really a common problem.
Especially with the new game. Putting the blame at the customers, while these customers know that everything on their end is working except for the EA game, is just sticking your head in the sand. Chances that so many users are all of a sudden experiencing hardware and/or ISP service problems right after they purchased EAFC25 are very unlikely, no?

@brebike I’ve been checking the forum for years and very few have delay. I think 5 people posted videos last year. People will say millions have delay yet when people are asked for examples very few have it. I’ve actually seen more come back after turning on the online input overlay and say they don’t have delay. They are surprised they don’t have delay because it’s repeated so much without even checking. I mean the other guy doesn’t even have the game so doesn’t know that’s how much it gets repeated.

@RadioShaqs not everyone is capable of recording and sending over their gameplay and most arent even aware these forums exist. If you want to see what we're talking about open another tab and go watch someone try to play the game on twitch or YouTube.

Just because I chose not to waste my money on one unfinished product, I shouldn't be ignored or pushed aside like I'm irrelevant. I've bought every game since fifa 14 and go through the forums, reddit, twitch and YouTube pretty much every day and only see complaint after complaint and clips among clips of the game not working or just generally being unfun and unfinished.

The game constantly lags and kicks people from the servers after a match.

We repeat delay because what else are we supposed to call our players not reacting to our inputs in time or at all? I've got a few ideas.

@lansenyl Getting kicked suggests it’s your connection. Do you know 800 new users posted when the sa servers were broken? Ea even acknowledged it and fixed them. So when you say that nobody knows about the forum or can’t post videos you are wrong. 5 is far from showing everyone has delay.

@jaglv See while others can’t be objective I can be. I blame ea mistakes when they happen. I never denied the sa server and linked them all to post in the one big thread so ea could get all the info to fix it.

I can suggest things to fix it if you think it’s on your end. Is it on your end or you think it’s a problem with the server?

@RadioShaqs But you're denying my claims on the NA servers because I don't own the game and I refuse to pay $100 to be a game tester.

I'm telling you that for years EA has had horrible connection quality in North America. There isn't even a data center in Canada. There as many data centers in Europe than the whole of North America and South America combined. I think that's a big problem.

Do you know how many times I've faced someone on from the SA servers and just decided to leave because it was genuinely depressing? There's no reason I should ever play someone from another region.

If it's not the server quality then try adding more severs in between high population areas in NA and Canada. Please.

@lansenyl I didn’t deny that you used to have delay. I am saying you wouldn’t know this year. I don’t deny people have delay I’ve seen videos of people having delay.

What I deny is when someone says everyone has delay and you ask for an example and you only get about 5 a whole year.

We already went through this in another thread you couldn’t find an example with the online input overlay on showing delay.

If millions had it you would see it on this forum just like sa when they fixed the server.

To your point needing to add more servers is not a server issue. If you are connecting to a server father away that doesn’t mean the server is broken. Those are two different things.

@RadioShaqs I have over 20 hours played on fc25. From those 20 hours I decided I didn't want to buy the game.

I played it recently from another location on a different console and ISP. The game was the same if not worse.

I'm saying there might not be enough servers to handle the amount of people trying to play the game in this region.

@lansenyl If you are far from a server yeah it would be nice if ea added more servers. Again that’s not a server issue though. They try to get everyone under I believe 50 ping and pick locations that help. A new server in a certain location won’t always help because of location of vendor and isp don’t always route to the closest server. I would have to reread the pitch notes but ea has explained that in detail before pretty informative.

Its people like you that let EA continuously release terrible games. I have done absolutely everything to mitigate all buffer bloat on my wifi. I have 0 packet loss with 1 gig download and 200 mbs upload. EVERY OTHER GAME I PLAY WORKS PERFECTLY expect this piece of trash. And before you say no one has this issue take a look at r/easportsfc you will get a COMPLETELY different response.
