With a 1000/1000 mb 10 in answeartime and absolute no problem with my connection i logged into Ea to test a game and i was stunned, whats wrong with Ea servers folks, this is madness, take a look at the pictures i posting, every game is riddicoules high ping and a horrible serverconnection.No there is no problem with my connection it is super stable, every test i take it got 970 mb, every game working fantastic... Until i logged in to Ea servers !?

Iam study to be a programmer, iam at my last year and we been talking about gaming servers alot specially Ea servers.First ask yourrself is there any other game you got that is behaving like EaFc/Fifa, in my case no, all my games work perfect, my connection is stable 980 mbit and i got an answeartime at 10 ms in all other games + fantastic serverconnections.EaFc/Fifa is terrible, my serverconnection slows down my whole game, my players are superslow, i cant turn, the gameplay is a mess, the AI funktions dont work at all and this is 100 % the servers, my teacher asked me a very intreseting question when we talked about it and he asked me if i feel any diffrent at late night in the game, the answear was yes, and he told me that becouse there are alot less people who plays at late night really early morning.So the distance to the servers, the servers are not good to begin with and they are overfilled makes youre game slow and delayed.He also asked us if its the same in other games, do you feel any diffrents in example Cod or Fortnite and i dont honestly dont do that, that is becouse their servers are stable and good, there is alot of other problems with their games ofcourse but you are always able to get a fair chance to be competive and the servers are not the reason that you lose as in Ea.So the servers is the heart of gaming youre connection is the blood that makes the servers/heart beat, the faster connection you got the better the servers work, in Ea case youre connection dont matter becouse the servers aint working, it is what it is, my English is not the best but people in general do not understand how imortend the servers really are.So last if I got Salah and my opponent got Salah we suppose to have a player with 99 pace booth of us, hes salah are way faster than mine and 100 % more intelligent, that is not about skills, there is no magic settings in the game its about he sits on a way faster server and thats why EaFc never going to be a skilledbased game, the servers decides the outcome in the end anyway.

Doesn’t seem like you’re helping anyone. You just seem to like to pop up in threads where people are frustrated with lag/latency and pour passive aggressive salt in the wound with these comments that ALL of these frustrated users simply must ALL have poor ISPs/networks (because it can’t possibly be an issue on EA’s end)I mean, even supposing that were true—that all of us have crap internet connections—doesn’t EA bear some responsibility for creating a game that’s so demanding of high-speed data transfer that the average user can’t enjoy it? I live in an urban area in Northern California (US), pay an awful lot for an above-average internet connection, have my XBOX hardwired to my modem and I still get laggy gameplay in H2H mode MOST of the time. So, is enjoyment of this game limited only to people who can afford a “Ferrari” internet connection? Because that’s the way it seems. And if that’s the case, then shouldn’t EA say so BEFORE they take our money?I’ve been playing FIFA/FC off and on since it was introduced when I was in college, but this was the first new version I’d purchased since FIFA20. I was initially excited back in January when I got it about what seemed like an improved and more realistic game playing experience, but that bubble has been burst as I’ve increasingly found that my ability to be competitive H2H matches is mostly bound not by my skill, but by what seems to be the difference in the lag of my connection versus that of my competitors. I’ve checked my connection. Run speed tests. I’ve accounted for other family members using of our network and chosen to avoid playing simultaneous with their use, but I’ve found that nothing I’ve done (a) indicates a a clear, fatal flaw in my connection/network; or (b) appreciably improved my gaming experience. And now I’m right on the brink of the balance between frustration and fun tipping over into just rage-quitting the whole game. If that’s what EA wants then I guess they can continue to stand behind this “it’s not us, it’s you and your crappy connection” party line of theirs, but it seems like a pretty stupid business decision (and goodness knows it feels pretty insulting as a paying customer). I keep trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I just feel more and more disillusioned with every response (or non-response) I see from. And, like is said, your posts aren’t helping either.

Tested Ea online test connection for fun now and got 100 % no jitter, no packet loss, tried a game in Ea and it was totally unplayeble as usually, playing Cod right now and have 5 ms ping and superb serverconnection ha ha two diffrent worlds.Yes as you say dont buy their stuff and dont play their "games" its that simple.Yep that guy tried to manupilate me also ha ha it makes absolute sense that he works for Ea, been reading his posts years back now, sad that they need to hire a guy that have a job to deny and fool peopme instead for helping their costumers ha ha yep clownshow is what it is..

It is a deeply frustrating practice to ask a player base to believe that the servers can fail repeatedly under load — such as during promos or pushes for engagement in Champs (e.g. entry lowered to 1 win, free weekly qualification points, and desirable rewards tied to playing all 15 games) — and yet simultaneously want them to believe those same servers are otherwise stable. When thousands of users are visibly booted with messages like “You are unable to connect to EA’s servers” or “EA servers are experiencing high traffic,” EA has to acknowledge the issue — as we’ve seen with compensation promises this year. But the subtler, more fragmented problems — like delay, desync, animation glitches, or heavy gameplay — that don't present as clearly or consistently, do not get acknowledged or are solely blamed on the user end.It stretches credibility to suggest that server infrastructure fragile enough to collapse under peak load could never also cause smaller, harder-to-measure degradations in performance during regular play. These may not trigger disconnections, but they do damage the quality and fairness of gameplay, and are arguably even more frustrating due to their intermittent nature and lack of acknowledgement.But, like you say, it won't change so all players have is the control to change their own actions and simply stop purchasing the game.

AntagonistChaos WELL SAID!! This is what I’ve been saying!! This in itself PROVES the servers are not fit for purpose and are causing input delay and horrific gameplay!!!

Did you run the connection test on here? That will give you a better idea your connection. Here is ea explaining how to do it.

I experience sluggish gameplay consistently in rivals and champions UT matches. In fact, I just finished another doozy where the lag was impossible to overcome and unquestionably cost me the match. I’ve checked my connection, run speed tests, etc, etc. and find no apparent issues, but poor gameplay persists. I’ve seen a lot of folks complaining about similar issues in here and, in fact, was on a thread as recently as this past weekend where the EA moderator just out of the blue announced he was turning off replies (effectively ending the thread). Apparently, once it became clear that no one was buying the standard EA response—that it’s always an issue on the users’ end—the moderator decided we didn’t deserve to be heard any further. People are frustrated, but EA seems inclined to try and suppress it rather than acknowledge and deal with it (which just fuels the mounting rage out here in userland).
I love football and I love the thrill of completing objectives and building my ultimate team, but I sorely wish the actual gameplay was better. At this point, buying FC25 is a sunk cost, so I’d minimally like to see a clear-cut commitment from EA to work with users to deliver a better experience for FC26, but based on most of what I see in here I have few hopes of that.

EA are just **bleep** game developers. Their servers are simply not good.

Pretty much this. EA won't do anything about it. They thought that FIFA is guaranteed money, and as a result, they have become complacent. Now that the franchise is dying, it's too late to fix it.

Do people still play this trashgame, let me guess RadioShaqs who dont work at Ea still here defending their **bleep** servers, nooooo iam not working for Ea ha ha ha ha 4 years later the guy is still in every thread and denying his **bleep** off, for free i meen come on and yeah Ea servers are **bleep**, there will always be some meatriders who will deny it becouse Ea placed them on their good servers, rest of us are placez in bad, old, overfilled, slow servers, iam so happy that I stopped play this mess to a game 4 years ago, yeah iam also boycotting everything that Ea drops,
