Like the OP except I’ve been playing fifa, since fifa international football in something like 1993, way before most where born.
now while I believe ea peaked with fifa 16, and was ranked globally in top 30 on fifa street, all these changes for the better such as the impact engine, better AI etc has spoiled the game considerably.
I also have bad connections to some games of fifa with laggy movement, slow player reactions etc, even though I have a 500mbps hard wired to the router which is within 5 metres and my test to the connection on EAs website says I’m 1point below maximum available, EA always says it’s my fault on the connection side. There is nothing more I can do. I play games like Fortnite which runs the same servers the AWS service on 0-10 ping which I get also in FC26 as I have the counter on, but still issues exist.
EA are only in it for the money now from new promos, they refuse to stop hackers or at least put in a reporting system in game to flag it up. Unless the shop breaks. That’s fixed in seconds
