Severe Input Lag and Delay Issues in Iraq across All Platforms (EA SPORTS FC 26)
Dear EA SPORTS FC Development & Support Team,
I am writing to you on behalf of the passionate EA SPORTS FC gaming community in Iraq. We love the game and appreciate the hard work your team puts into every title, but we are currently facing a severe issue that is making online gameplay nearly unplayable for us.
In EA SPORTS FC 26, players across Iraq are experiencing extreme input delay / responsiveness issues. Basic in-game actions—such as passing, sprinting, tackling, and shooting—take a noticeable fraction of a second (or more) to execute after pressing the button.
To clarify key details about this problem:
All Platforms Affected: This input lag is happening consistently across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Connection & Hardware: Players with high-speed fiber internet and low pings in other competitive online games are still suffering from this heavy gameplay feel specifically in FC 26.
Game Modes: The issue is heavily impacting competitive online modes like Ultimate Team (Champs/Rivals) and Clubs.
This delay puts Iraqi players at a huge disadvantage when competing online, making the experience frustrating rather than enjoyable.
We kindly request the team to look into the routing, server matchmaking, and networking infrastructure for the Iraq region, or optimize connectivity to the nearest regional servers.
We hope to see this issue investigated and addressed in upcoming patches or server updates. Thank you for your time and continued support.
Best regards,
An EA SPORTS FC Player from Iraq
