250+ High ping only in Pro Club mode, while net is fine

Hi everyone,

  • Platform: PC through EA app
  • Gamertag: EmskoPAPA
  • Timestamp incl. Timezone: Multiple but a sample would be 2025-10-28 at 11 PM (CET timezone)
  • Region: Europe / Germany
  • ISP: Vodafone
  • Clips/Screenshots: Added below
  • Game Area/Feature/Mode: Pro Clubs (only with this mode)
  • Summary of issue: see below

Im facing a serious issue. Im playin FC 26 on PC with a very stable internet (250 mbit download). Every game mode is working fine like FUT or Seasons, etc. But when i play Pro Clubs (solo or friends doesnt matter) 90% of the time i get this problem that my ping is showing 250+.

Info:

  • Stable PC with i9 and 5070, so FPS is not a problem
  • Using LAN cable directly with 250 download 40 upload (see ss below)
  • Playing with controller bluetooth connected to the PC
  • 4-5 other friends who play with me together are playing with PS5 so we do crossplay. It does not matter if i play with them or solo. The ping is most of the time above 250+

Things i have tried:

  • I saw a post where someone mentioned to disable "Approximate Location Matchmaking" to fix this problem. I tried it but it didnt help. I did have less games where the ping was high but still it would be around 80% of the matches.
  • Change display settings thinking it was related to a display config bug but it isnt
  • Play with VPN, same problem

What is going on? How can i fix this?

I thought first that this was a UI bug and that my game was okey but the game was almost not reacting to my actions on the controller.

  • Here is the proof. Still having the problem. I saw that there is a report about game quality. You can see that some games are fine but most of them are bad. Its completely random and there is nothing i can do during the game to fix it.

  • Nio97​ yes thank you for the feedback. They do need to care about it because i paid money for this game and it should behave correctly.

    I have a new update with another proof regarding the problem i stated. Im using a tool called ExitLag to find out which server i connect to (since the game doesnt show that, rather just high ping only). Last time i got connected to Bahrain. This cannot be the fault of my ISP and i could never resolve this problem through them. This is a routing problem on EA side. Your server thinks that i should connect to the Bahrain game server in order to play against opponents living in Netherlands. How is this possible? A huge bug.

    Please fix ASAP......

  • Hello? Any admin? This is a serious issue!!!! Im still getting connected to weird servers.
