Severe Gameplay Input Delay and Heavy Feel in FC 26 Online Modes

FC 26 Gameplay Responsiveness Regression Compared to FC 25 (PC)

I am reporting a consistent and reproducible gameplay responsiveness issue in EA SPORTS FC 26 on PC.

Under identical conditions, FC 26 exhibits noticeably heavier gameplay, delayed player reactions, and reduced input responsiveness compared to FC 25.

Test Environment:
Platform: PC
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1660 SUPER
Display: 1920x1080 @ 240Hz
VSync: Off
Frame Rate: Stable
Connection: Stable broadband, same network used for FC 25
Region: Saudi Arabia

Observations:
- Squad Battles gameplay feels smooth and responsive.
- Online modes, especially Rivals, feel significantly heavier.
- Input delay and sluggish animations persist despite stable FPS and low ping.
- Switching back to FC 25 under the same conditions results in immediate improvement.

This strongly suggests differences in netcode behavior, server authority, or gameplay engine processing introduced in FC 26.

Request:
- Investigate input delay and responsiveness degradation in FC 26.
- Review server-side synchronization and netcode behavior.
- Provide transparency regarding planned technical fixes.

This feedback is provided in good faith to help improve the competitive gameplay experience.

Thank you.
