Severe Input Delay in Multiplayer Matches Despite Good Connection

Title: Severe Input Delay in Multiplayer Matches Despite Good Connection (EA Sports FC 26)

Hello everyone,

I'm having a serious issue in EA Sports FC 26 whenever I join any multiplayer match.

My internet connection seems to be completely fine. I can enter matches without any connection warnings, and the EA Connection Quality Report gives me a score of 94/100 ("Great"), so I don't think this is an issue on my end.

The problem starts once the match begins. I experience what feels like a 5-second delay between my inputs and what actually happens in the game. For example, I can see the power bar filling in real time when I pass or shoot, but the players don't react until several seconds later. It's as if I'm playing with 500 ms ping, even though my actual latency is around 30 ms.

There are no visible connection drops, packet loss warnings, or internet interruptions. The game simply becomes unplayable due to the massive input delay.

What makes this even more frustrating is that I sometimes receive disconnect penalties and losses, even though the issue doesn't appear to be caused by my connection.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

  • Is this a known bug in FC 26?
  • Could this be a server-side issue?
  • Are there any troubleshooting steps I should try?

Any help or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
