Severe Stuttering, Freezes & Player Movement Bug in EA FC 25

Hello EA Team,

I am experiencing severe performance issues while playing EA FC 25, despite my system meeting the minimum requirements. These issues significantly impact the gameplay experience, especially in online modes.

My main problems:

Stuttering – The game frequently stutters, making smooth gameplay impossible.
Freezes – During matches, I experience random freezes lasting a second or more, which heavily affects my reaction time and overall gameplay.
Player Movement Bug – When changing a player’s movement direction, they often continue in the previous direction instead. During this moment, I am unable to switch to another player, making it extremely frustrating to play.
I want to highlight that EA FC 24 ran almost perfectly on the same system, despite having the same minimum requirements. This strongly suggests that the issue is related to EA FC 25’s optimization rather than my hardware.

My system specifications:

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
CPU: Intel Core i3-8100 @ 3.60GHz
RAM: 24 GB
Monitor: 1920x1080 @ 75Hz
Please investigate and optimize the game, as these issues make it nearly unplayable in online modes. If there are any known solutions, I would appreciate any guidance.

Thank you.

    Same for me. Impossible to play. It happens because their stupid anticheat loads our CPUs. And they can't fix problem for FIVE months! I still have periodic spikes of cpu usage on "System" process only in this game. 60 fps limit doesn't help me from these freezes. Maybe my cpu is not powerful but it runs game smooth in moments when no these spikes. After FIVE months of not fixing problem, my conclusion EA's anticheat developers are very bad programmers that should be fired. Shame to EA

    Try to turn off Windows gamemode. Thanks to reddit's post. Today i've tested this solution in offline mode where i had freezes also before and haven't seen any freezes only some small fps drops. But haven't tested in online yet when i think freezes possible also because of network problem not only cpu overload. Anyway TRY TO DISABLE WINDOWS GAMEMODE. I think it's not a placebo and really helps to prevent cpu overload by this anticheat

    And also advice. In Nvidia control panel set limit maximum frames for fc25.exe to value of your monitor refresh rate to minimize cpu load. I have old 60 HZ monitor and i've set this value to 61 and turned vsync on

    Update: nope, freezes still exists. It was placebo. We won't be able to play normally with eaanticheat
