FC26 Server Performance - Sluggy Gameplay during peak Hours

Game Modes:FUT RIvals, FUT Champs, Pro Clubs (massive impact), Saisons

Platform: PC

Hello,

I want to flag a serious and ongoing issue with FC26's server performance.

The gameplay experience fluctuates massively depending on the time of day and server load — to the point where it feels like an entirely different game. During peak hours or high-load periods, responsiveness degrades dramatically. This is not a client-side issue: my ping is stable and my hardware is well above the recommended specs. (9-14ms normally, but sometimes i got arabian opponents and having 100ms - 7800x3d -32GB DDR5 - 4070TI Super -PS5 Controller or Razer Wolverine Tournament v3)

I tried Cap on 60, 120, 144 and 240 hz and fps (playing on lowest settings). 240hz and fps cap feels the best for me.

This level of inconsistency is unacceptable. Players should be able to expect a consistent experience regardless of when they play.

I strongly urge EA to invest in consistensy improvements and to be more transparent about server status and performance. How does the game decided which server u get? Can we see it before the game starts to avoid games on far-east gameserver? Is there an Server-Load overview?

Regards
