Hi EA Community Team,
Since TU 1.1.3 (early Nov 2025) and worse after TU 1.3.0 (Dec 2, 2025), EA SPORTS FC 26 on PC has become unplayable in online/competitive modes for me.
Affected modes
Rivals / Champions / Pro Clubs (online competitive)
Offline modes like Squad Battles / Rush are fine yet a bit of performance drop after 1.3.0
Symptoms
Controller input delay builds up to ~4–6 seconds (pass, shoot, sprint, switch)
Can’t skip celebrations/replays because the input doesn’t register
After halftime, there’s a freeze/stutter and the 2nd half becomes unplayable
FPS can drop to “slideshow” level during stutters/set pieces, with GPU usage spiking
Starts normal, then gets worse after ~10–15 minutes
Troubleshooting already tried (no fix)
Reinstall/repair, latest drivers, low settings/FPS cap, wired controller + different USB ports, clean boot/background apps off.
PC specs
Windows 11 Pro (10.0.26200 Build 26200)
MSI Crosshair 15 A11UEK
Intel i7-11800H (8C/16T)
16 GB RAM
Timeline
I started playing at launch (Sep 18, 2025). The issue started early November and I haven’t been able to properly play online for about 2 months.
Request
Can a Community Manager please:
Acknowledge this as a tracked PC issue, and
Confirm whether it’s being investigated (possible link to anti-cheat / online performance), and
Share any known workaround or ETA for a fix?
