High ping and lag in Head-to-Head & VS Attack (FC25 & FC26)

 

Hi EA FC Team,

I’ve been facing continuous connection and gameplay issues in both Head-to-Head and VS Attack modes. Even though my internet connection is very fast and stable, with low local ping, the in-game ping is always high and gameplay performance is very poor.

Here are the details:

  1. My local internet shows very low ping (for example, 10–20 ms to Google, stable 50+ Mbps speed).
  2. However, inside the game, the in-game ping suddenly goes very high (sometimes 200–400+ ms).
  3. During matches, there is severe lag, input delay, rubber-banding, and gameplay freezing for 1–5 seconds.
  4. Sometimes, players teleport or move unrealistically — looks like possible exploit or sync issue.
  5. This problem happens on both FC25 and FC26 versions.
  6. It affects both Head-to-Head and VS Attack matches.
  7. I tried all possible fixes:
    • Reinstalled the app
    • Changed from Wi-Fi to mobile data
    • Restarted router and phone
    • Closed background apps
      But the issue still persists.
  8.  
  9. It seems like a server-side problem or due to cheaters using connection exploits.

Please investigate this issue by checking the match logs and server data for possible irregularities

  • They don’t care. Most you’ll get is some unpaid community manager tell you its on your end. I’m sticking to fc 25 cos I don’t want to pay ads anymore. It’s a minimum 250ms ping in every game mode.
