yanited4420 I'm in Division 5 because I haven’t played Rivals much this year, but i play FC every year and never had problems to reach Div. 1-2 honestly. Football is one of my big passions and I started playing PES and FIFA since I was a child, now I'm 32, so I know what I'm talking about.
I’ve been playing Rush and Club with friends a lot, but I played two Rivals matches to test it, and I won both smoothly without any issues (not in the way you should play a well done optimized game, sadly, but acceptable while I wait with frustration). Through the graphics card settings, I even set it so that during frame drops, the frames lock at 30 FPS (also because, in addition to the disconnection issue, the game has lag problems on PC — even before the patch — and this helped while waiting for EA to release a f fix). It’s not normal that a user has to go through all this, but at the moment, we don’t have any other option.
I asked other people just to be sure, and they told me that with this method they can play Rivals and Rush. I also checked other forums and X, and many people can TEMPORARILY playing it this way — but of course, this method doesn’t work for everyone.
And now I’m done replying to you, because honestly, whether you can play or believe it or not, I couldn’t care less. Have a nice day.
