I can't play !!

Hello EA Support Team,

I am experiencing a serious input delay and responsiveness issue in EA SPORTS FC 26 Ultimate Team.

My ping appears to be normal/low, and I do not have any obvious connection problems. However, during online Ultimate Team matches, my players often react several moments after I press a button.

For example:

  • Passes are delayed after pressing the button.
  • Players respond late to directional inputs.
  • Player switching feels delayed.
  • Players sometimes feel completely unresponsive or extremely heavy.
  • The gameplay feels significantly slower than it should.
  • The issue is particularly noticeable in Ultimate Team online matches.

This does not feel like a normal high-ping issue because my displayed ping remains low.

I would like EA to investigate whether this is related to server-side gameplay, connection quality, matchmaking, or an input responsiveness issue affecting Ultimate Team.

This problem is seriously affecting the competitive gameplay experience.

Please investigate this issue and let me know if there is a known problem or an upcoming fix.

    Same here, and if you go to the EA FC 26 quality report  and see your results, perhaps in game you don´t feel the smooth play.
    My results are 98/100, which doesn´t feel in game, i feel that all my players doesn´t run at all, the opponent team is always in turbo mode, i have a delay when i try to shot, the sufficient to the defender cuts the ball, it´s stupid, but it happened all year, why i still complain.

  • EA,

    I think your servers are creating this nonsense gameplay that we are having at the moment.

    Don't get me wrong it was bad all year long but now it's gone worse!

    At this point, it feels like either half the gameplay mechanics are determined by random outcomes, or your servers are sending the data in instalments with such a ridiculous delay that the end result is pretty much the same: complete chaos disguised as football.

    TY
