Seasons much better than UT - A lot more Responsive

Question

I used to be Elite Division in previous FIFAs, but since FC25 then FC26, max Div2 because of massive input delay and dumb meta mechanics that I refuse to abuse, it's against football intelligence.

Some days ago, during UT server maintenance, I decided to go back to play Seasons. I was amazed by the fact that Seasons was not affected by server maintenance, what I assume it does not require a server. So probably it is a peer to peer connection?

Responsive was so much better. Passes going to right players. No bounce backs. Manual defending being rewarded. And player base much nicer, no rage even if the guy is loosing 10-2. Nobody abusing stupid mechanics. If you pause the game and stop playing, the guy will wait for you to come back. No toxic celebrations.

I usually have 10ms latency, I live fairly close to one of EAs server. Using all recommended stuff to maximize connection quality, I was not supposed to have input delay in UT. The fact that I don't have any input delay in Seasons made me realize I'm not crazy, the reason for bad gameplay is the UT servers!

Now I'm going back and forth playing UT and Seasons to compare responsiveness. Just for the sake of testing. Different hours, different days, all the same result, Seasons is a lot better. Feels like the beginning of FC26 without any patch.

EA, fix your servers!

Nalin_Dan​ Seasons are truly mutch more fun. Playing online with real teams, without the temptation of wasting your money on expensive packs to greedy EA. Gameplay is probably the same as in Fut, very weird sometimes, but you don't have to pay them more money than the cost of the game.Selling packs is EA's milking cow to trick their customers of heavy money. Even underage kids. EA is a company with minimum of morality. Several contries are looking into that they brake their law in the matter of illegal gambling (micro transactions) aimed against underage children.&nbsp;Belgium have allready banned this activity from this company.&nbsp;

I think you just had a good day. I only play Seasons. Most of the time I experience the same like what you describe: chunky gameplay, passes going in all directions, ... Every now and then it is responsive but then it goes so easy that I assume the guy on the other side is struggling with getting stuff to work the way it should. Don't want to refer to the well known 3 letter word that would get you banned, but well....

Playing seasons in the lower levels is fun because you are playing people who are struggling with lag. But once you get to the higher levels, you will then be playing people who reside closer to the EA servers, and they enjoy fast response times. You will need to up your game to keep up. If you live far from the EA servers, you will not have a chance, no matter how good you are.&nbsp;

**bleep** right we did! We should have gone even further and ban the whole company for false advertising and selling under quality products!
