Clubs: Console Gameplay vs PC Players (Unfair Advantage)
This post is for all the Clubs players on these forums.
For reference, I consider myself to be an elite level player and my squad was #15 ranked in the world in Elite div in Season 3 this year.
As a console player, I find it utterly infuriating that EA has decided to pool PC players alongside console players in cross-play.
FC 26 is a fundamentally different game on PC. The ability to play at 120 fps+ completely changes the game and creates a meaningful advantage for PC players playing against console players on Clubs.
The game performs so much smoother. As the primary ANY of my club, I'm at the mercy of locked 60 fps gameplay on PS5. No matter how well I read the game, I'm simply not able to stop quality PC players from manoeuvring around my defenders. But it's not just my defence. If I'm playing against a PC ANY, his defenders are quicker, they press more aggressively, and his goalkeeper is considerably more agile. The ball seems to magentize to his players and no matter how much I try to slow the game down - it just plays so one-sidedly.
I've played close to 1800 games in Clubs this year and I'm telling you that the game performs completely different vs a PC ANY than a console ANY. It's a totally different game and it's super frustrating.
I don't understand how EA can justify pooling PC players with console players when the game performs considerably better on a PC vs a console?
I have no problem losing to a quality team. But I have a real problem losing to a quality team that has a hardware/software advantage that I'm simply unable to compensate for.
Fellow Clubs players, I'm curious to hear your thoughts and feedback.
P. S. We're 5 years into the PS5 and Xbox Series X. How is there no 120 fps performance mode for these systems?
