Unbearable nonstop lags and stuttering on PC despite perfect setup

Hi EA Team and Community,

I hope you can clarify something critical: will the same server routing and delay issues from FC 25 carry over to FC 26?

In FC 25 Ultimate Team on PC, I’m constantly experiencing severe lags, speed drops, and nonstop stuttering, despite:

• Using a high-end gaming PC
• Playing via wired LAN (rock-solid router and perfect internet, zero packet loss)
• Having no issues with other games or services

I’ve already submitted an issue via the EA Help portal—there was no option to open an actual support case—and I even reached out via Twitter. I provided traceroutes, PingPlotter results, and an EA Connection Quality report, yet received zero meaningful feedback.

Now I’m worried that FC 26 will use the same problematic game data centers or routing policies as FC 25, leading to the same awful experience.

Could someone from the EA team please confirm:

1. Will FC 26 continue using the same data center network and routing logic as FC 25?
2. Have any changes been made to server assignments or network infrastructure to avoid the routing failures that caused FC 25 issues?

Thanks in advance—I just want to know if we’ll be able to play FC 26 smoothly or if the same nightmare is set to repeat.
