Just unbarable
The biggest issue right now isn’t even gameplay mechanics wich is trash — it’s the servers.
It genuinely feels like they’re being way too stingy with server investment. How are we in 2026 and still dealing with this level of delay and inconsistency? Every match feels heavy, sluggish, and delayed. It’s like playing in mud.
And the fact that there are no dedicated servers in Norway is honestly shocking. That alone explains so much of the input delay and inconsistent gameplay we’re experiencing here. We’re forced to connect to servers in other countries, which just adds unnecessary latency in a competitive game where milliseconds matter.
For a franchise as big as EA Sports FC 26, this shouldn’t be an issue anymore. This is one of the biggest sports games in the world — server quality should be a priority, not an afterthought.
Competitive modes are supposed to reward skill. But when gameplay feels like you’re running in sand because of server delay, it stops being about skill and starts being about connection luck.
Players in smaller countries deserve proper infrastructure too.
Is there any plan to expand server locations? Or are we just expected to deal with this every year? I like too know, cause i will never buy a EA game again without better servers.
Atm its almost impossible to find a game under 36-32 ping. Allways 4 bars, not 5
