Stuttering in FC25 Despite Good FPS and Ping?

Question

Hey everyone,I bought FC25 about two months ago after saving up some money. At first, the game ran smoothly—no lag, everything loaded quickly, and gameplay was flawless. But after a few days, the game started to stutter, and it's been preventing me from progressing properly.What’s strange is that usually the first match—or sometimes the first two—run a bit better, but then the stuttering gets significantly worse and ruins the experience.I’ve watched a lot of YouTube videos about FC25 bugs and tried every fix I could find—nothing helped. My PC should easily handle this game. I even lowered all in-game settings, turned off unnecessary background apps, reduced resolution, and adjusted graphics settings using my GPU software.Has anyone else had a similar issue and found a solution?The weirdest part is that FPS stays stable, ping doesn't spike, yet the game suddenly slows down and the input delay increases a lot. It’s especially hard to defend because players just run past like my reactions are delayed.My PC specs:GPU: RX 580 8GBCPU: Intel i3-10100FRAM: 16GBThis system has handled AAA games without issues before, so I don’t get why FC25 is struggling.Thanks in advance for any help!&nbsp;

EA's servers aren't particularly stable. I've seen the same thing, and have been complaining about it, for months now. I think that the game suffers from a plethora of technical issues:

Poor server stability; leading to input delay & lag.
Poor performance caused by EA's anti-cheat. You used to be able to remove the files, repair the game & use an older version of the anti-cheat (not sure why this is a thing - that's a security nightmare), which performed markedly better.
Lack of seamless transitions between animations, causing odd & very slow transitions irrespective of player stats.
Generally bad optimisation of aesthetical design choices (strand based hair being the biggest offender).
Odd physics calculations, which seem tied to server fps. IE the more responsive the gameplay, the more likely you are to see the ball ping wildly off into the distance.

These problems are not new, I just don't think EA have the talent to overcome them.
