Server Degredation
At what point will EA acknowledge the poor server performance?

Depends if something is wrong with the servers. What was it two days ago ea made a post about the server issues after the forum was flooded with server posts.
Where did they say this? I can't find anything pinned, nor on their social media.
It was during this thread. The forum was being flooded with posts about servers. They had a banner posted on the site so everyone could see it. I didn’t post in the server thread at the time so don’t have it on hand. I see you was in the thread discussing it at the time so should have saw the banner on the site when it was going on.
I didn't see any banner and there's nothing in there from EA? I am talking about publicly acknowledging the problems and showing their plan to fix it. Some actual partially transparent development. Some real communication to the players.
No that link wasn’t the ea post. The banner was up during that thread that linked to the ea post. I figured if you was on during that time you would have seen it. I am not sure why everyone was mad ea was posting about the server issues though. It’s nice when they explain what’s going on and they updated the thread till they fixed it.
If you want to see their plans for servers they usually post those in the pitch notes. Going back to fifa 19 they have explained what’s going on.
One of the best ones was when they added the online input overlay and explained it in the pitch notes.
I always assumed I had delay until they added that so you can test it. Once people learn about that they realize they don’t have delay and wonder why as they always assumed it was a problem with servers.
It’s why the big YouTubers streamers have come out and said servers have never had issues. It’s why they moved to pc.
The pitch notes are pretty informative if you haven’t already read some of them. They explained servers in probably 5 or more of them over the years. It’s nice when they are transparent with the community and explains what’s going on.
Dude, I don't know what land you're living in, but it isn't reality. If what you're suggesting, is that the game can't run on consoles without huge input delay, then that's even worse.
Consoles don’t have delay. Run the test you will see. Turn on the online input overlay and look at the two controllers on screen. The YouTubers figured that out and have since moved back to consoles.
I always suggest people post their videos if they do have delay so ea can see everyone has delay. More times than not people come back and say they don’t have delay. A few do have delay but this would suggest their connection like ea has said since only a few have delay.
The test is easy though see how little or much delay you have.
You're contradicting yourself, dude.
I also have no idea what you're on about. If you watch any streamer, you'll see that they all complain about the delay & bad gameplay at peak hours. You don't seem to have any clue as to what you're talking about.
It’s not a simple answer is why. Sure the servers have problems and ea fixes it. It would be silly to say there is never a server issue.
Is there a server issue all the time no. Thats why it’s important to do the tests. Thats why ea asks for the videos.
Have you tried to play with the online input overlay on to test your delay? Hopefully you don’t have delay.
Maybe you don’t know about the mass movement to pc from streamers. Someone else posted the video on here by nick who started it by saying servers don’t have delay. More recently they have started to move back to console after realizing there is no delay on there too.
