Connection Issues during peak times

This game is absolutely unplayable every WL and during friday, saturday, sunday even having the ping 8-16ms. every year a bunch of hamsters bring billions of dollars into EA and our very respected developers cannot buy more productive servers to cope with the load before the WL every year. What's wrong with the indie company? Is it really that poor and destitute? And aliens are stealing all the money they earn? Or what?

EDIT: I found the answer. EA servers adjust the game speed and input lag to make it harder for the player after a series of victories. The Internet connection has nothing to do with it. You can see completely different gameplay in Champions, Rivals and Seasons at the SAME TIME having the same connection and the same EA servers. no conditions have changed except the game mode. I also connected a new friend's account and his gameplay is much faster and responsive on my PC when I logged off from my own.

Hey @okd4 connection issues are something that you need to work on on your end

If there are server issues we can see them and will communicate accordingly.

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.

Hi! I just stumbled upon this post. I don't play FC25 but I play another EA game competitively (Star Wars Squadrons) and the way you describe how your game lags is very similar to what I have to deal with. I have delays of sometimes more than 2 seconds, always getting worse towards the end of the game. I'm struggling with this for years now and there is no support for my game anymore. I have a super fast and stable connection, no lag at all in other games I play (like BF2042, which is also EA...) my ping is about 2ms. I also live in Belgium, my provider is Proximus, don't know if that has anything to do with it. The only thing I found to improve a little bit is disabling Ipv6 and using Ipv4 only. But I'm no expert and I don't know how would do that when playing on console.
