I'm off work on Fridays so logged into the game at 7.30am but only started playing nearly an hour later the gameplay is the best I've had , knew right away with a squad battles match, then played two rivals and now playing Rush.
But I knew logging in early would work and as long as I don't sign out of EA servers it"ll be good until I do.
Because the problem is with EA servers.
Okay some things I've noticed, if you block passing lanes your player will stick a foot out to intercept the ball, the whole team is always looking towards the ball, all players feel faster with more agility and when your player receives the ball their first touch gets it out of their feet and ready to move forward this makes through balls deadly.
It makes the game feel easy and if you make a bad pass or mistake you know you've made a mistake.
With one sided server delay the game isn't worthwhile playing " Because it's nothing like what the game should be".
This was one of the matches, it's abit of a mess because I'm not used to this pace of this game yet.
But my AI make more interceptions this match than they would in 100 with server delay.
The only thing I can think of is some sort of lag compensation EA have or can't tell what connections are like, but it's still good ATM 9.45am.
If I log out and back in delay will be back and my players won't intercept anything do EA think my connection changes, do Routes somehow get blocked to EA servers.
But if it was anything to do with my isp logging in and out wouldn't make a difference.
I kept the Xbox on and my last rivals match was about 11.30am then decided to try clubs played a match which was great logged back into UT and knew instantly the delay was back when playing a squad battles match.
So it's only the UT server.
