Obviously not EA, but it can only be good thing for the people that's had it for years
Just look up Reddits posts since the latest patch.
Which i actually said would happen as it happened with every patch.
There's not a chance anyone at EA actually plays the game.
I have had the issues you have had @NornIron11 probably as long as you have had going back to the old fifa forums. Ive finally got the game to a place this year where delay is massively reduced for me. It’s not perfect but it’s much closer to being fair. The first thing i did to improve it was to get the game playing on 240fps rather than the default 60fps. Im not sure if its possible to do it on console, but it worked on pc. This dramatically improved the responsiveness.
The second improvement was by using a netduma to see what server im on. I live near London but my gameplay changes massively depending what server im placed on. More often than not it tries to out me on either the Franfurt or Paris one. If i play a German on the Franfurt server, or someone French on the Paris, the gameplay is noticeably 1 sided. The Dublin server is very laggy, but i get decent gameplay on the London or Amsterdam one.
i now believe a lot of the issues arise from the matchmaking and server selection. By putting a player on any server to get a quick game against a similar skilled player causes a lot of the issues rather than taking a few more seconds to find 2 players who live near each other who would then get a better game.
@RadioShaqs Where has EA said its not server related and how do EA know it's not server related when it's been years and they still don't know how to fix it. Are we supposed to believe after every patch when more and more people get delay that it's somehow an isp fault.
And I believe people got fed up posting clips because it's how the players feel when holding the controller I've had it for years and can barely notice the delay when watching clips so someone that doesn't believe in it will never notice it.
We already know the overlay only works if you have connection problems not when it's server problems. The overlay is connected to the server.
Imagine EA seeing all the posts straight after the latest patch and still saying it's not server related lol what is it then?
He is suggesting (actually proving) it is "inherently coded" into the game.....servers or no servers... "it is in the game"!!! which is even worse? Will anyone from EA explain WHY THE FISH do we have "inherent random latency"?
The issue lies both with the game and the servers. It's frustrating to experience input delays, even in offline modes like Squad Battles. EA needs to optimize the game itself. When playing online, the delay worsens because of the servers. This combination of unoptimized gameplay and unreliable servers results in a terrible overall experience. Unfinished product.
