If I actually had a connection issue, the problem would be constant, it wouldn’t magically disappear every single night at the same time around midnight when the servers are less loaded.
And of course I’m using a wired connection, no background apps, all overlays disabled. My connection is stable the entire time, which is also confirmed by your own Connection Quality Report (image in attachment).
Last night around 2AM, the gameplay was smooth and fully responsive - no input delay, connection score 98. Today around 1PM, the gameplay was sluggish, player reactions delayed by almost half a second - same connection score: 98.
There’s absolutely nothing indicating that my connection is the problem. It’s more than clear that the issue lies on the server side, and that’s as obvious as it gets.
Community ManagerThat it improves outside peak hours points to it being network or ISP based consigliere087.
If it was a server issue it would be constant and at all hours of the day.

And how do you explain the fact that EAs own Connection Quality Report shows identical results for my connection at 2AM and at 1PM, but I'm getting a completely different gameplay experience? If the problem was with my connection, I'd be getting a different connection score, wouldn't I?
If it works perfectly fine late at night when there’s less traffic, but becomes unplayable during the day when servers are packed, how does that point to a problem on my end? That logic makes zero sense.
That’s like saying if you’re stuck in traffic every day at 1 PM, it’s because of your car - not the road. Come on. The game clearly struggles when the servers are under heavy load, not when my “car” (connection) is driving on an empty highway at midnight.
It’s honestly not okay to keep posting such ignorant and childish replies instead of actually addressing the obvious problem this game has. We’re paying for this game, you can’t just treat us like we’re crazy.
