Re: What is going on with this game?

I have to agree with radioshaqs. I spent years struggling with this one sided delay and sluggish players. I have managed to kind of fix it with 2 things. Firstly the monitor i was using was set up for 60fps. By changing settings on my pc its now at 240fps which has made a massive difference. Secondly getting a netduma r3. I can see what server i get on (im just outside London). If im on a Paris or Frankfurt server then my opponent gets an advantage (probably because they are from those countries and therefore closer to the server). On the London or Amsterdam server i get much fairer gameplay. It is definitely something under your own control. It isn’t necessarily an easy fix but it is possible to improve your own gameplay.

    Guys a good advice is to check where the servers are before you buy an online game and also talk to other thats playing the game near you, if the servers isnt in youre city or right outside dont buy the game, just saying every game is not for everybody.

    @xXEliteWPlayerXx I don’t think you need a server that close. The closer the better though once you get all the ping indicators and show delay on the tests then it’s probably going to be unplayable.

    That’s what happened to South Africa when they got rerouted till they fixed the server. Nobody said that improved their gameplay playing on a server that was to far away.

    You guys are lucky in Europe you have so much server coverage. Most places get one of your servers that covers an area that you guys have 5 or 6 in.

    @RadioShaqswell in my City there is absolute no cover of the servers, i dont know one person here who is buying EaFc if they not plays it offline, but i talked to family that live in Stockholm and they can "play" EaFc, Sweden is a very big country and the distance between Stockholm and Gothenburg are 493 km, that is 5.33 h and that every player connect to the same server witch meen that its unbeliveble overfilled, its possible for us to get a decent gameplay very late at the night around 3 - 4 then its slows down and gets unpleyeble again, also at this server a big part of Finland are connected to.

    Its to many connection to far away at the same server and it makes EaFc unplayble for us.

    I would invite you or someone to come to my City and test the game at my house and also test it at my friends houses and u can see for youself how terrible this game is for us, also we can test some of the other games i play and u would be stunned..

    My internet is 1000/1000 fibre optic, iam playing on booth a Ps5 and Pc connected with cat9 cables and the games iam playing is working like a dream, iam actually a elite player in booth C.*.D and F*rtn*te, but EaFc is a no go at all.

    Iam not blaming Ea becouse i know how complex online gaming can be, its not me hating Ea as a company but we dont have servers here and that is a huge problem when you play online game, it is what it is.

    But iam a football fan, i hope some day we will have a competitive football game that is fair 50/50 in the future, thats why iam still following booth Ea and U*L etc and where Ea or others place their servers and i talk to people about gaming and how their gameplay worksout, so in the future i hope but as it is right now theres absolute no point at all to buy a expensive game that doesent work.

    @xXEliteWPlayerXx That’s what I mean you’re closer than a lot of other players. You are closer to a server than I am. The other guy is even closer London to Paris if he doesn’t connect to the closest. That’s what I mean you guys are really close compared to other.

    I remember one guy in Western Australia had all the ping indicators and delay now he is far from a server.

    @xXEliteWPlayerXx I mean it would be nice if ea had a server in every city but even then you would play people outside of your city so you have to be realistic about server placement. Their goal is everyone under 50 ping I believe. I would have to reread the server pitch notes but that seems realistic.

    Also let’s not forget it also depends how your isp routes you so you might not even get the closest server.

    I just think Europe is lucky with the server coverage. I would guess few are over 50 ping. Once you get into yellow is when you start having issues. Obviously packet loss stability ect matter but in terms of general.

    @xXEliteWPlayerXx @RadioShaqs Hi I have a Netduma router and it doesn't make a difference to delay.

    But then again why would it EA system doesn't even work, I've said before but if you have an Xbox u can play EAFC though the cloud so don't have to install the game. My ping on it is 2ms lol.

    I've had 3 different ISP's the lastest one being 1gb up/down new street wiring full fibre I'm one of the first in my area to get it so congestion isn't a problem. Jitter and packet loss being 0 isn't a problem.

    And I can play every other game without a problem.

    All EA servers are Amazon so I can see why they can't do anything either " Well apart from putting 1% of their profits into actually fixing it"

    Had to stop using the Netduma because it made the delay even worst basically made the connection too good, This game only works when the connection isn't stable.
