Online Matches Fair? Unstable Connections and Match Decisions
I have serious concerns about the online match experience in FC26 (Nintendo Switch version), particularly regarding connection stability and how match results are judged. Disconnections and voided matches occur not just once but repeatedly, and due to this ongoing instability, online matches often do not feel like they are functioning as a properly playable game. Most recently, a match in which I was leading 2-1 was disconnected mid-game and then declared void.
What I find especially difficult to accept is the inconsistency in result handling. If a disconnection occurs while I am leading, the match is often declared void. If a disconnection occurs while I am losing, it can be counted as a loss. In both cases, the disconnection itself is the same, and neither outcome should unfairly penalize the player who was playing normally. The key issue here is fairness and consistency, not the score at the moment of disconnection.
Are other players experiencing similar issues?
