my gameplay feels slow and heavy regardless of settings

Bro same with me. Any solution?

They have no solutions. They will blame your connection regardless of what your tests show. 

sorry for the late reply people. I didnt expect a reply after it being months after I posted. 

I just wanted to log in and update you two that I couldn't find any solution and its still the same game I stated months ago. I thought I had found some settings that helped me with the game to be quick, but after playing the next day the game felt back to its original state. I just will assume its probably all down to EA's fault. 

I am aware they always will blame us and the connection - nevertheless their own test results provided via ea's quality connection test showed that my connection on my last 7 games were 98% and therefore "great" however, the game felt like crap with the unresponsive feel to each game... I geninuely hate this "engine" they implemented since FIFA 23. I much preferred the "old gen" - which is what i think this all comes down to. old gen was much more responsive (from what I can remember) even though it was arcade like and quick... at least it felt like you were more in control. since FIFA 23 its always felt like EA have had more control than the actual person playing the game haha.

If I jump on battlefield 2042 - the difference of responsiveness is night and day if you try to compare to FC 25. it also lets me use my 180hz properly too... I wish FC 25 did (editing the file within appdata doesn't help me, and makes me feel like the game is slower actually)

All in all - I truely believe it is just how FC 25 is created and the blame is whatever they have changed since the release of FIFA 23 (new gen for PC started on 23).

It's the same for most people. Every stream you open, you will see people complaining about the lag/delay. EA just ignore it and the staff in here are clueless. I doubt any of them actually play the game.

It happens on player and manager career mode, offline, players team is slow, every pass takes two seconds to leave the boot, slow across the ground, players are sluggish, first touch into space stunlocks in player allowing AI to get ball, AI players move like it’s the matrix, pulling off impossible turns into m the blink of an eye, passing through to goal in seconds like pinball, their players move into space make good runs, yours stand around like morons. It’s nothing to do with connection in the main, this is how they add “drama” and “competativeness” by making it sometimes impossible to compete. Other games same team looks unbelievable, AI gets battered, despite the AI team on paper not being as good in the previous game when they looked like Jedi. Then you realise ah, I’m winning cos my team is allowed to operate at their best, AI team nerfed, before the reverse, it’s actually little to do with me. Really takes the joy out of playing a game, win or lose, doesn’t it.

this year has definitely been the worst year of them all for me. I have been buying it consecutively since 2011. Since the new engine the game has just sucked the life out of the game. 

Here is hoping that the trailer for FC 26 is actually a stepping stone for EA, and that they have actually worked on it this year, and developed it into a more player controlling game. A game where the player feels happy to play the game because its actually responsive and they feel in control of the game would be great to see. I have my doubts for it being a success though since the EA sports seem to of lost touch on the reason to make video games anymore other than to generate money. This is why I'm waiting for the 7 days early access in EA PLAY PRO before I even think about buying it haha.

For laughs and giggles. I again have provided a new connection report to show that the game is stating that my connection is great on average across my last 22 matches. the game on the other hand feels like... well, you know.
