Fc 26 performance issues/stutter

Hello EA Support,

I am experiencing severe performance issues with EA Sports FC 26 on PC that make the game unplayable. I wanted to provide you with all the details you requested:

System Specs:

OS: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit

CPU: Ryzen 7 9800x3D

RAM: 64 GB

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

DirectX: Version 12

Controller in use: Ps5 Controller

Time/Date of issue: Since launch on September 19th, 2025 – constantly.

Game Area/Mode: The issue happens in every mode I tried, except Skill Games where it seems slightly less severe.

Description:

Constant heavy stuttering, flickering, and unstable gameplay regardless of graphical settings.

Changing graphics options does not improve the situation.

The game is unplayable in its current state.

The issue happens every time I try to play.

    This is happening because of the animations, which cause that stuttering. 
    The temprorary solution is little before the game start (and trigger animation),  the moment both team pick their kits, minimize the game (press windows button) wait for around 15 seconds, and then go back, and your game will run smoothly without issues even in the second half as well.

    Also after the game if you notice that the menu is lagging, you need to quit the game and start it again, its not happening every single time, but it's good to know it 

    Try this guys and let me know if it works for you.

    Still doesn't work...

    I have tried prioritizing the game, shutting down every other application, but it seems like the animation is still taking a toll on my PC. I have a great CPU and graphic card, but it doesnt really seem to help..
