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.
