Rivals is absolutely unplayable right now. Everything has delay! When will the below par developers at EA fix this or resign????
First off, I am not an EA shill. If I experience issues I would also raise them.
You are seeing posts from almost the same people on social media. EA sell millions of copies of this game and there are not millions posting about these issues. Is that to say the are not experiencing them? Of course not. But if it was completely broken it would make news.
So for people to make out I am on EAs payroll is just wrong.
Not everyone on console is experiencing these issues. Do they exist? They do. Is there more to it? There has to be. If it was happening to every single console player then of course we would be talking about a show stopper.
So there has to be more at play here.
And please. Less of the accusations.

blue166 you don’t even play UT so your feedback is absolutely irrelevant here…
Im in a group chat with 6 of us, all on console, all of us say the game is unplayable. EVERY person I ever message after terrible gameplay also say the game is heavy for them too.
It’s a well known fact the gameplay has issues. The only debate is if it’s broken code, the servers or the frostbite engine not being able to smoothly work with the mechanics.
There are thousands upon thousands of post’s across social media stating the gameplay is heavy! I know 100% it’s not on my end, FC26 is the ONLY game I play where I have issues…
I saw a post you made praising EA for their broken game and if you’re not a EA shill, you are imo, you’re just weird. Respectfully

I am not weird.
And yeah, they deserve praise for a lot of aspects of the game. I don't ever post saying it's 100% perfect.
I have watched plenty of people playing Ultimate Team and not mentioning about delay, 1 sided delay or any other form of it.
Does that mean I am saying it doesn't exist? No. I do believe at times people are connected to servers which are at capacity and the ping time you see isn't quite what is going on within the game itself.
Because I say aspects of the game are good doesn't make me odd, weird or anything. You'd be an idiot not to appreciate some of the good things within the game.
There is still plenty id like to see altered like skill moves nerfed, low driven shots nerfed, acrobatics nerfed and other bits.
So while I don't play Ultimate Team (and for good reason IMO) I do play Online non the less and I'm lead to believe the Online Seasons is using the same servers.
Where in the word are you and have you checked where EA is hooking you up to server wise when you connect??

blue166 how do i check the servers EA are hooking me up to? I’m in the UK, Manchester, EA must be connecting me to a server on the moon

Just to clarify i am sick and tired of the lag I cannot play rivals or champs... I have a wired connection with virgin media the game is a disgrace, players running through porridge and cement, no response and the game kicks you out of the servers and disconnects. I have never had this experience before, its an absolute disgrace

If you guys are in the UK I suggest you set up a Broadband Quality monitor (it is free) with http://www.thinkbroadband.com
It's easy as pie to set one up and it pings your connection and builds a graph that you can view.
I am not saying this because I am blaming anyone's connection, but these monitors are good for general and understanding your internet connection better.
I am aware that people mention this issue with gameplay and to be honest these conversations go back years and years.
What time of day do you mostly play? Have you played beyond 11pm UK time and noticed different gameplay?
The issue is that not every player has this issue. I know the issue exists but the reasoning behind it is complex. If it was every single player no matter where in the world then of course EA could focus solely on resolving that. But, when x amount of people mention having it while others are clearly either one not experiencing it or don't notice it and playing on.
Again in regards to that monitoring tool. They are good to have anyway.
And to the chap that has Virgin Media. What does a ping test to the likes of 8.8.8.8 return you?

mate just scroll down on the EA forum you will have more then you count of people saying the game is sluggish and just feels unresponsive... im playing on a high end pc and have the best nbn that is on offer and i am experiencing the exact same issue and i know of 15+ of my mates that have stopped playing because of it. EA is just turned into a cash cow to sell packs its just copy and paste more broken code over more broken code as they just port the same game over and over..
