The Nintendo Switch version is unplayable due to extreme lag and 30FPS cap

Hi,

​I’m writing this because the performance of FC26 on Nintendo Switch is honestly unacceptable. The combination of a 30FPS cap and constant frame drops makes the gameplay feel incredibly heavy and unresponsive.

​The input lag is so severe that it’s almost impossible to defend properly or time shots in competitive modes. It feels like my players are moving through mud. We understand the Switch has hardware limits, but other titles manage much better optimization.

​We need an urgent patch to:

​Fix the stuttering during gameplay and cutscenes.

​Reduce input delay to make the game responsive.

​Provide a Performance Mode (Lower resolution for 60FPS).

​Please don't ignore the Switch community. We paid the same price for a game that barely functions.

    I suppose EA Games doesn't give a **bleep** about making a patch for the Switch. It heavily lags even in menu selection. The game is very slow on Switch. When will they fix it? Possibly never. EA Games doesn't care.

    I agree 100%. It started out ok but since January it got worse and its been the worst it has been since the start of April.

    Don't hold your breath for a fix. EA is notorious for 'fire and forget' releases on the Switch. They’re happy to take our money, but providing a stable frame rate or a smooth UI is clearly not in their budget. Truly disappointing.
