Gameplay the worst ever.
At least now EA must know what's causing it. Just look at how many posts about how sluggish the gameplay is, it's a joke that they keep blaming everyone's connections

NornIron11I have found a solution to the gameplay issues i have been suffering since Fifa 13 or so and hopefully it can help you. I always had that delayed sluggish gameplay where my players wouldn’t accelerate and the ai wanted to run away from the ball.
i literally tested everything, wired, wifi, 3g mobile data and everything had the same delay. No matter what server i was was on Uk/ireland/france/german/dutch it was still terrible and one sided. Some days the gamepkay was quicker but i always felt disadvantaged. I even had a thread shut down last week whilst trying to figure out what was causing it as people were arguing with radioshaq. However, with the bad gameplay i started to think that it must be something to do with my connection even though i didn’t know what it was as it was happening every game and always to me and not my opponent.
This led me to doing lots of research on framerates and display options etc for tv’s and monitors. I had some success with a monitor at 240fps but not enough. I worked out that what the nvidia setup on the pc was wasn’t the best as it was scaling up framerates. It was putting me on a display that the monitor wasn’t supposed to be at. To cut a long story short, i eventually went back to my tv, turned off gamemode which allowed it to go from 60pfs to 120fps, set the display on both pc and through nvidia and in the EAFC settings to 1920 by1080 ( i believe this was the crucial part) set the framerates to 120fps and switched it to windows borderless. Now my gameplay is as it should be. Players are more responsive, the ai is better and the game is more enjoyable.
I know you aren’t on pc, but i assume you can still get it set up on either ps or xbox. Check all your tv settings and make sure they are at the native settings and the EAFC settings match this. I actually couldn’t get the gameplay as good on my monitor as it now is on the tv, but test with game mode off and on until you get the good gameplay. It will have absolutely nothing to do with your connection or the EA servers. Radioshaq is actually spot on with this. Hopefully you can get your gameplay issues sorted after all this time, because if i have you certainly can. 100% it will be something to do with your tv/monitor and the display settings.
