FC25 unplayable on PS5

Since last Tuesday after the new patch, the game started to have a massive delay. Looks like I am playing in slow motion.

This is causing a very poor gaming experience.

The delay can be found in playing Rush, Squad Battles, Rivals, and Fut Champions. My WL's performance was affected by it. The game is unplayable, the commands are not responsive.

I ran several internet connection tests, and my internet is normal. I can watch streaming videos normally. I work from home and do working sessions and video conferences with a camera without any issues or delays. I played other games, MMORPGs, and Shooting games on PC and PS5, and I had no problems or lag.

FC25 is unplayable on PS5. It's impossible, and the perception is that the more the game advances in time, the worse the delay gets. on the pre-match screen, where the ping/latency is shown, it games me 18-20ms, far from what's happening in-game.

The game starts to be very delayed in the first 5 minutes of match time. After 70 minutes of match time, the game turns to be unplayable. Even fresh players look like they are totally out of stamina due to the input delay. There are several pass errors, several tackle misses, and several goal misses. This is a nightmare.

By the way, I am speaking from Germany. I've seen several people from all around the world complaining about the same issue here at the forum and also on several Discord channels.

I have matches with 0% packet loss, but the game is still delayed. It begins badly, and sometimes during the game, it gets worse. Playing in Div 3, my opponent and I look like Div 10 players, with several tackles missed, pass accuracy around 70%, suffering stupid goals, and making stupid goals over stupid errors.

The matches are more like roulette, you don't win because of your ability, you win when you get lucky due to the errors the game makes you commit due to the delay

more than 1 week since the update.
more than 1 week with the game with A LOT of DELAY and EA doesn't do anything.

Looks like we have either the option to get used to a ridiculous gameplay experience or to give up the game

    I have been crashing out for a while now. I have a PS5 Pro, wired connection, a high-end gaming monitor with 0.5ms response time, and still the gameplay is a rollercoaster. 80-85% of the time, FC25 is absolutely unplayable, the input lag is so bad that I can’t even climb back to Div 3 where I used to be. Because of that, I’m stuck with players from Div 6. The skill difference is compensated by the input lag—it doesn’t matter how you play because, for instance, by the time the pass animation starts, your teammate has already made a run behind opponent’s defense. As a result, a 0.5-1s delay is horrendously affecting the game experience. I played every FIFA game starting with 12, and I skipped FC24, I genuinely expected more of FC25, I really thought I was missing out. Turned out I was wrong, I’m now just wasting my nerve cells on a subpar football simulator. For reference, I live in Los Angeles, I already checked that EA has server/s here, so that’s sorted out as a reason.

  • I’ve been having the same issues for months. Did you ever figure something out?

  • the only good solution is to never buy another EA game again. The previous version of this s**t was already unplayable

  • yup ps5 is unplayable at moment terrible lag in ultimate team I'm uk based its actually laughable how bad it is and this is since the last patch freezing players Laggy even the menus in the game lag its totall mess.

  • Same here totally broken game laggy unresposive players even menus laggin high ping and the list goes on 

  • maybe this is the reason i have been lagging so bad recently on fc25, i did the same as you, network tests, i also turned off my wifi and on again, still 100+ ping as well + delay, so many other stupid issues in game as well that u mentioned.
