My limit was reached, unacceptable EA...
I am honestly reaching my limit with EA FC on PC. I have never seen a AAA game behave with this level of inconsistency, instability and total disregard for the players who paid full price. From day one, Ultimate Team on PC has been a disaster. Severe stutter, random freezes, GPU usage spiking to 100% even in menus, unpredictable input delay, FPS drops out of nowhere, and a level of instability that makes the game feel like it is held together with tape. Nothing about this is normal. I can play perfectly for hours on one launch, close the game, reopen it, and everything is instantly broken again without touching a single setting. It’s like rolling dice every time I hit Play. I have had sessions where the menus are smooth, the gameplay is perfect and everything runs fine, and then the next time I open the game the stutter is so extreme that even navigating Ultimate Team menus becomes painful. That alone proves the issue is not user hardware or settings. I have done literally everything a player can do. Clean driver install, DirectX 11 and 12 testing, editing setup.ini, changing screen mode from fullscreen to borderless and back, adjusting every graphical setting, capping FPS, uncapping FPS, optimizing NVIDIA Control Panel, Armory Crate performance modes, manual fan curves, undervolting, reinstalling drivers, deleting cache files, reinstalling EA App files, changing monitors, changing cables, disabling overlays, disabling background apps, updating BIOS, updating chipset drivers, forcing the game to use the dedicated GPU, low latency modes, absolutely everything. The game still decides when it wants to work and when it wants to break. I have paid for Early Access and never got a single stable experience from this mode. Career mode works fine, friendlies work fine, other games run perfectly on my system, and yet Ultimate Team behaves like an unstable beta every single day. I even bought a cooling pad to make sure temperatures weren’t causing issues and it changed nothing. Even the temperature behavior is inconsistent, sometimes opening the game pushes CPU and GPU to extreme values for no reason, other times everything sits perfectly normal. This proves again that the problem is inside the game. I have created multiple posts, in English and Portuguese, filled out EA forms, and nothing changes. The updates that EA released have done nothing to fix the instability; some made the situation significantly worse. And what makes all of this even more frustrating is the silence. No clear acknowledgment, no transparency, no real communication, nothing that actually addresses the PC performance problems that so many people keep reporting. It is December now, months after release, and Ultimate Team on PC is still broken, unstable, unpredictable, and frankly disrespectful to the players who paid for it. The community is tired of being ignored. We are tired of pretending this is a problem on our end. It is not. It has never been. EA needs to take responsibility and fix the disastrous state of Ultimate Team on PC immediately.
