EA - CAN YOU ADD A PING NUMBER/BARS BEFORE KICK OFF IN SEASONS MODE - ITS TRICKY

Hi EA,

As the subject says. Can we have a latency indication before a game in SEASONS MODE so we can make an informed decision. Like no one in the UK wants to play a Mexican. It's just a rotten experience and would rather wait to find a fellow European opponent.

This isn't difficult for you to add. Once we kick off it's hardly helpful if the latency is terrible and for some reason these opponents rarely mutually quit the game with you. So yeah, a little help from EA would be useful.

  • @EA_Darko Please also add this for co-op seasons! I cant tell you how many teams I get connected with overseas opponent(s), resulting in unplayable +100 ping games. Thank you!

    Hey @FourSwords22 understand that you may be frustrated with the game but no need to follow CMs around the boards posting in a rude and passive aggressive manner. 

    I'd recommend taking a moment to read the AHQ User Rules and Guidelines as calling out CMs and hijacking threads as you have been doing is not allowed: https://answers.ea.com/t5/help/faqpage

  • Dear EA team,

    I just would like to belatedly second that suggestion. It’s super frustrating to find out that you have a bad connection after kickoff. This year is coop seasons, my connection is virtually always terrible. Really sad.

    @EA_Darko Is there any news on this?

    Been at least a couple of title updates yet without the inclusion of this. It's really needed. Has been for a long time to be honest.

    It's terrible to get into a game with someone who is the other side of the world and the latency is 77ms and above.
  • FUT and clubs are differentiated by region, but the seasons mode is not divided by region, so you will be matched with distant opponents

    This is probably because the season mode is being used unchanged from FIFA15 without any improvements.

    I'm sick of developer laziness

  • Please EA we really need that on season and seasons coop! Every game I join has a terrible ping, due to matchmaking region. We need to see the conecction quality before before joining the game. That can literally change the outcome of the game we are playing. Seasons players really need that!
