Imagine having this discussion in 2025 But here it is, Input delay/ Slow gameplay most people with this seem to make a lot less tackles as it's impossible to time a tackle. I've seen other posts sa...
I never fully understand how people get into such debate over this, the answer is its BOTH, there are times when your ISP will be slow and you will have some lag so yes "sometimes" it is your own connection, however the EA servers are bad, there is no hiding from this, the fact EA dont seem to admit this (or anything) just frustrates people even and you end up with constant debates like this.
The reason people get so angry when everything just gets puts down to there own connection is it doesn't fully add up, people are not stupid, we play loads of other games online, much more connection heavy with many more people connected at the same time and have 0 issues, you jump on fifa and "sometimes" its horrific, not only the delay but also the constant loss from the EA servers, if it was always our own connection why doesnt this ever happen in other games?
I play many games with a bunch of friends from discord and yes any of us can lag on games on any day, we all know this although say 99% of the time its fine, however ALL of us have wayyyyyyyyyy more issues when it comes to playing any game were its EA servers, so its pretty simple what the issue is "most" of the time as the %'s from other games to this one doesnt add up.
FC25 is also the only game were we actually get disconnected from the server, lag is lag but its so clear that the EA servers have issues, so the sooner they admit to that and put more money into them the better it will be for FC25 and there other games, I mean they make enough money from us all to invest in the main thing thats needed, rather than "oh you can see real people in the crowd now"
I mean just playing FC25 the amount of bugs, speed of the menus, the game goes to crap after most updates like it hasnt been tested, show the game is very, very buggy, and takes them forever to fix the bugs unless they are related to people getting packs or something (you know what costs them money) , EA are known for having bad servers not just on FC25 but in general
When people do come back and post proof or do all the things EA ask, they never get a response or explanation further, they just get ignored.
They are the professionals yet can never answer the simple question of if its always peoples connections, why are they so good on other games but not EA based ones? as somebody pointed out earlier a simple google search shows this, anyways thats enough waffle from me, but if I was to guess I would say 90% of the time the reason for the bad connections on FC25 is server over load, which is why you always get such inconsistent game play depending on when you are on, EA just need to invest more of the hard earned money we have given them into servers rather than the crap none of us are interested in that gets added to the game to make it look nice, it can look like crap as long as it plays good we would all buy it anyways being the loyal customers we are :)
