Guys, I was experiencing exactly the same problems as you, but I followed a few steps from this thread: https://forums.ea.com/discussions/fc-26-technical-issues-en/technical-guide-%E2%9A%A0%F0%9F%94%A7%F0%9F%A7%B0-ea-sports-fc%E2%84%A2-26/12570051.
First, I did this: https://help.ea.com/en/articles/technical-issues/how-to-clean-boot-your-computer/.
Next, I did Run as Administrator
Launch the EA App and Steam and the game with admin rights.
I'm playing in fullscreen mode without V-sync. Naturally, I disabled realistic hair and cloth.
The game now runs very well.
Try following the steps in the first link carefully. Please ensure all third-party anti-cheat services are disabled, as they may conflict with EA's anti-cheat.
Good luck and good gaming to everyone.
P.S. EA, fix the defenders!!!
