Input delay

I've had exactly the same issue, it's been disgusting. Press a button and my player waits for feels like an eternity to act.

This is a common problem.
I also have it during peak player hours.
This is a problem with the servers.
Delays. The Internet is not to blame.
What you see on the screen and what is actually on the server are different.
And you press the buttons depending on what is on the screen.

I never have delay.  What I see on screen is what the server sees. It’s actually easy to test just run the game with the online input overlay on. 

If you are getting delay then the two controllers on screen will have delay between them. One is your local connection and the other on screen is the server connection. Mine are always on sync showing no delay. 

I have it on at all times and there is definitely a delay. I have my ping visible at all times so I know when it's my internet lagging. Yesterday I was on 12 ping, no signs on any issues on the overlay, and I was still getting input delay. It's been a problem for years and it varies from day to day, but it's been more noticeable recently. There are even streamers who play pc and ps5 who say that console input delay is a massive problem. It's not unique to a few people, or because we have bad internet, so it must be the EA servers causing it.

Streamers have been moving back to console. If you don’t show it on the input overlay that’s good though then it wouldn’t be a server issue. 

I can see the delay with my own eyes though and I can feel it. How is that not a server issue? Is it just because of a difference in mine and my opponents ping? Because as far as I know not many people get better than around 12 or so ping. Is the server compensating for the difference in ping to slow me down? It doesn't make sense.

 If streamers are moving back to console it's because of hackers in the game, not because the gameplay is better. Every person I've watched that uses both says the delay on console is crazy. It's always the same story on here though, it's our internet or our hardware, even though so many people experience the issues. Let me guess it's our fault that the gameplay feels really heavy sometimes and players suddenly turn like buses aswell?

It’s like the other guy said what you see on your screen is not what the server sees. So people who have delay the controllers would be different. If they are out of sync then you would have delay from the server. 

The nice thing about the online input overlay is there is no guessing. You can also show others how much delay you have. That’s why ea asks for videos with it on so they can see it. 

But that’s what you want no delay from the server so if they are in sync that’s good. You might be getting delay somewhere else like in your setup or tv monitor though but not the server. 

EA is having issues with their servers, specifically the routes. I currently have a 50 ms ping to the server in Warsaw, whereas it used to be 7 ms. Now the route goes through Germany.

If the delay is in my setup then EA made a game for ps5 that isn't suited to it which is just ridiculous, and the problem isn't in my monitor either. Apart from when my internet lags every other game I play runs perfectly whether online or offline, so why would it be any different for this one? No other game I play feels different from game to game or day to day, the only answers left are inadequate servers or something in the coding of the game.

Okay let’s take away the server and overlay argument just now.   The game on both consoles is optimised poorly.   Which is why one of the reasons most user’s experience bad gameplay.  Especially when you hear the PC gameplay is smoother and faster with animations etc.  

Now talk about the servers, how isn’t the dude from Germany not got an advantage over me.  Travel distant is short than mine.  
Or Netherland which seems to only servers I connect to.  
So between that and console gameplay is no wonder a lot of people complain.
