I play on PC. This year so far it seems like I am getting a good 1-2 second delay between inputting a command and players responding anytime I play online. Opponents do not seem to have the same problem. In squad battles everything seems to work fine, just have this issue with online play.Have not had this issue in previous years on PC, no its not my connection. This is the only game I play it's happening in, I get 1 GB down/ 50 mbps up wired connection. Ping times to everywhere else are fine. I would run a tracert to test the hops but not sure what ip address to test.Anyone else getting this issue?

Got the game today, played last years game without any issues with my controller but i try to play the game regularly now and it's genuinely impossible. Every pass, every switch, every shot has delay, and the worst part is that in the beginning of every game it feels normal, but it just escalates into unplayable nonsense every time i play. I tried going into fullscreen mode, i tried lowering graphics settings but nothing works. Please help 🙂Controller is an XBOX one i think and I'm playing on PC.

As the title suggests, I have chronic input lag. My internet connection is a steady 200mbs down and the game its self feels fine i dont lag at all. This also didnt happen in FC24 (i last played it a few days ago and it was perfect). Could anyone help?

Yes I face the same issue... Apparently my connection is great according to EA connection quality report yet my opponent is always faster than me... Infact lower rated opponents can move faster and pass faster than me... I play on Indian servers... I am sick of this game.... How can we compete this way?

@pawanwazza The servers are overfilled and thats makes the game delayed, try to play at times as early mornings or late night instead.

That's really not how it should be.... They should be able to handle the load.. that's how it should be set up .... How can we even compete for fc pro open that way? The games are gonna 6pm to 10pm... What then? Given we qualify for div 3 and that's seems difficult too with this kind of lag..... I have 20ms ping 96 connection score....0 packet loss. Minimal jitter......yet I can't play this game....

@pawanwazza Iam not playing the game anymore but iam been an elite player thru the Fifa serie, 24 was enough for me iam just trying to help you as an og player, try diffrent time and iam sure the gameplay runs better.

Iam got a 1000/1000 fibrewire and got 100 % in connection score thru whole 24 and still in daytime my gameplay was terrible, at early morning and nighttime it runs perfect, you not alone mosty players have the same issue, thats why i quit and moved on instead.

@pawanwazzai would to advice you to record a game with controll overlay and youre ping, also take a screenshot at youre connection score, make sure you blur out youre ip adress and post it and see if there is someone who can provide that info to Ea dudes and maybie they are able to help, as i said there is a massive pressure on this guys but hopefully they at least can give you some answears.

@gone-north11 This is the best advice. With the online input overlay on you can take a video and show that buttons and sticks are registering 1-2 seconds behind.

If more are having and issue ea can look into it hopefully. If your opponent isn’t having an issue it might be on your end though.

@pawanwazzaAlso make sure that ur firewall aint making issues for u, make sure that you are wired booth in Pc/Consol and TV and that you got youre tv on gamemode.

Can also try to connect direct to youre internet source and leave the modem out, some modem can do a delay them self even if you portforward etc.

Try to have a wired controller and see if there is any diffrents.

Check youre internetcables so they not are damage, switch to cat9 cables if you got a chance to get better and smoother internet and gaming in all of youre games.
If you intrested i can put up a complete list what you can do and what can help youre gameplay booth in Ea and other games, just tell me and i explain and help you better, no problem, and if not good luck

Theres alot of things to try at youre side also.
