Horrible Input delay in PC, Game Unplayable. Worst FIFA EVER

It's June 2026, and the game has been out for almost 9 months. In February, a game update came that introduced an input delay in various game modes in the pc port of the game. At first, it was online only; now I can attest, it is on offline game modes as well. Now, it is impossible to even navigate the menu due to this monumental insane input delay. To say this game, "developed" by EA, is the worst Fifa/Ea Fc title to ever be released would be an understatement. 

In my 13 years of playing this game, only career mode, btw, I have never been this frustrated. Never has a game come out in the pc port that was this broken. I have played through countless broken game versions, no jersey names or numbers, 4-foot goalkeepers, heading stats with 3, etc etc. I can assure you that we pc players do not expect much usually, but this was beyond disappointing. 

I would say that you guys should be ashamed of yourselves, but obviously cannot expect that from the shameless. Listen, everyone knows EA Sports is a greedy company, with absolutely no soul in there. You guys are so bad that when a blood money government bought you, people celebrated. 

Of course, I also understand that this message will never reach those idiot executives, who probably never played a game in their life or coded, but I would rather rant here than in freaking Reddit with your corporate bot army. Anyway, to the unfortunate intern who is reading this, no, I do not have any pc issues. This is a Lenovo Legion with 5060, and 32 gb ram. 

I hope this game dies!

    I downloaded on my laptop while I was at college and figured it was maybe just not optimized for this game despite being a $2000 laptop and runs games like R6 and Apex perfectly fine at 120 fps. The input delay was genuinely unplayable. After getting home I redownloaded on my desktop pc and it is still completely unplayable.

  • True. I played fc 24 and it worked fine for me. Recently I decided to try fc 26 because of the new promos and interesting cards and evos but even playing career mode, or navigating the menus is a pain. the delay isnt short either, its like 30 seconds every delay. Also a Lenovo legion user here. 

  • Exactly the same here.. the game is defective. EA won’t admit anything though and I’ve been told  to just wait for an update. What a complete waste of my time this game has been. Refusing a refund too when the game is defective. Shocking behaviour.

    FC 26 Money grab game I guess they never came back from lunch break 

    CONTROLLER INPUT lag

    FIRST TOUCH bug 

    AGILITY  nonexistent

    PASSING take forever no power and inaccurate 

    The AI PLAYERS are awful don’t pass the ball and take forever to pass the ball. They have to do four step overs before they pass and then when they do, they’re unbalanced and misplaced the pass.

    SHOT POWER bug. Where you hold the button to the appropriate power and the game registers it as you’re holding the button to long and then shot go over the bar or hit the bar! 

    BANNERS not appearing for pros or stadiums  

    Plus many more bugs
