issue with online matches
I’m experiencing a recurring issue in EA SPORTS FC 25 (PC) where my controller input — especially the left analog stick — stops working during online modes like Ultimate Team and Online Friendlies.
Here are the key symptoms:
- The controller works fine in offline modes (Kick-Off, Manager Mode, etc.)
- In the first online match, it works normally
- But from the second match onwards, the left stick stops responding
- A/B/X/Y buttons work, but with 3–5 seconds of delay
- The in-game Input Overlay shows local inputs, but players don’t move
- This happens randomly but often — sometimes after playing fine for days
What I’ve tried:
- Reinstalled EA Anti-Cheat
- Disabled Steam Input
- Deleted FC25 settings and profile files
- Ran the game as administrator
- Reset controller bindings
- Switched USB ports
- Created a new Windows user
- Tested a different controller
- Switched to LAN (Ethernet) to rule out Wi-Fi issues
- Verified the controller works fine in other EA games
