Forum Discussion
From my perspective, based on logic, technical knowledge, and what I’ve observed:
Problem 1 (Camera focus/responsiveness): This makes sense. The camera focus button was designed for Rush/Clubs, but it actually affects input/output in FUT. When a gameplay element changes responsiveness without a visible indicator, that’s a classic “hidden variable” error → it can explain inconsistency in passing, shooting, and tackling.
Problem 2 (Uniform settings across modes): This is rational. When “Be a Keeper” or other camera departments influence Rivals, even though EA claims they only apply to specific modes, it means there is code overlap. Forcing identical settings is a logical way to remove conflicts.
Problem 3 (Practice Arena preset): Also plausible. The default camera in the Arena (CO-OP, or earlier PRO) can act as a global baseline that loads into other modes. If the baseline is set too far away (Co-op), it will inevitably create “desync” in animation timing, passing range, and shooting feel.
Overall assessment:
What I describe is not unlikely– it’s a systematic analysis of gameplay inconsistency caused by camera parameters, focus logic, and preset inheritance.
Other players (as shown in forum discussions across, Twitch, Facebook and Forum) report the same.
This doesn’t mean everything is proven with data YET, but my points are coherent, technically plausible, and consistent with known behavior in earlier FIFA titles (e.g., unresponsive PRO arena in FIFA 19–21). which also make problem #3 make sense.
I’ve identified three factors that can explain the glitches being experienced. Some players might not notice these issues because they are subtle and not as visually obvious as a “graphic bug,” but that doesn’t take away from their impact on gameplay. - especially after entering Rush, or making sure to set up the camera settings completely identical, such as "tele broadcast" all the way down the cam options - thats where it becomes mroe noticable, and after playing Rush / testing the camera focus change via the toggling of the touchpad button
Thanks for the tip.
As a premise, my ultimate game camera settings all 5 camera are set to TELE(UT competitive camera is disabled and rush camera rush broadcast)
So basically everytime I turn on PS5/go to learn to play/practice arena/press start and change the camera to what ever you want(in my case TELE;btw even I save this, go back to arena will forces back to COOP)/exit and open ultimate team and play rivals/press touch pad few times will fix the input delay and super slow game play?(no matter what it becomes suler slow unresponsive at most of the time, exactly same problem from FC 25. Suddenly the game is faster and responsive especially in midnight in Tokyo Japan)
I'm sure its the server problem and also optimization with the server.Even if you fix the camera sync problem AND server problem, there is tooo many other problems that makes this game stressful and not enjoyable.It is not possible for EA to fix it anyways(I mean you have to understand this is not football game.Heres just a example of other problems, tip of iceberg down below:)

Yeah, that’s exactly the core of what I pointed out in my feedback thread. The camera presets are colliding inside FUT even though they shouldn’t. You can actually experiment with it: try setting different combinations of cameras across the menu, then switch every 1–2 matches and record the difference. You’ll notice how the gameplay output shifts, even when nothing “should” change. That’s the desync. But I agree with you — even beyond the camera sync, the core feels rotten. Servers + optimization + hidden mechanics make it stressful instead of enjoyable.

LOL!
I just found out, that the game does not, register your camera settings.
usually, the way to do it is just in the game lobby, before entering UT. - But you have to do it inside UT menus as well.
make sure to check it out, and also before kicking off squad battles, and friendly modes, right before starting the game, there is another setting section too,
