Controller delay feels worse in FC 25 compared to FC 24

Hey Everyone,

Is anyone else feeling like the controller input delay in FC 25 is worse than it was in FC 24? I’m on PS5, wired connection, performance mode same setup as always but passing and shooting feel noticeably slower and unresponsive sometimes.

It’s not just during online matches either. Even in Squad Battles and Career Mode I feel that half-second lag when I try to turn or make a quick pass.

Could this be a gameplay engine thing or maybe something with the new animations?

Also, while trying to troubleshoot, I came across edulearnx.com. It’s mostly about learning and education, but they occasionally touch on tech-related topics and user experience issues, which might be helpful if anyone else is looking for a broader perspective.

Thanks!

  • You can always test your delay. Turn on the online input overlay on and compare the two controllers on screen. I’ve never had delay.

    I have the same problem. There is an incredible delay in my players and each of my players falls to the ground, the opponent is officially beating my players. Also, my guys are experiencing very serious problems while accelerating.

  • Facts! I’m running series x via Ethernet, my TV has game mode and my connection score shows near perfect and still, my gameplay is a delayed heavy unplayable mess. 

    EA have now come out saying their game does have delay in online & even offline modes and their animations are a problem. We were right all along, it’s not on our end or our ISP 

  • I’ve been playing FC 25 quite a bit lately, and the controller delay definitely feels more noticeable compared to FC 24. Even small input lags can throw off timing, especially in competitive matches where quick reactions are key. Some players suggest tweaking controller settings or reducing background processes, but the difference still feels significant in high-pressure moments. It reminds me of how split-second decisions in professional cricket can change the outcome timing really is everything.

    Yeah, it really ruins competitive matches. And the fact that EA has spent so much time and energy denying that it’s real just adds insult to injury. I’m beyond fed up with this company. Would be a whole lot happier if someone else would produce a decent alternative cuz EA has just gotten too fat and happy and treats customers like crap. One things for sure, I’m not paying for FC26 until/unless I learn that they’ve fixed these issues (which seems doubtful).
