[Switch 2] Unplayable 30 FPS & Frame Pacing (Needs 60 FPS / DLSS Patch)
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2 (Docked mode / TV)
Issue: Severe performance issues, 30 FPS cap, ball teleporting, terrible visuals
Hi Everyone and EA Community Team,
I am writing this to express major frustration with the Switch 2 version of FC 26. To be direct: when playing docked on a TV, the game looks terrible, blurry, and is practically unplayable at a competitive level.
Key technical issues:
• Ball Teleporting & Severe Motion Blur: Due to the 30 FPS cap and terrible frame pacing, fast passes and shots look like the ball is teleporting across the screen in steps. It causes instant eye strain.
• Unacceptable Input Lag: A fast-paced sports simulator locked at 30 FPS with high input lag completely ruins gameplay and crossplay competitiveness.
Hardware & Market Potential:
• The Switch 2 easily outperforms a PS4 (which ran FC smoothly at 60 FPS) and its hardware capabilities are not far behind an Xbox Series S.
• The console literally features dedicated NVIDIA DLSS hardware upscaling, yet EA has not implemented a 60 FPS Performance Mode.
• If EA optimized this game properly with DLSS, 60 FPS, and solid graphics, the Switch 2 could easily become one of the top platforms for FC sales worldwide due to its portability and massive player base.
We are begging the dev team to prioritize a 60 FPS Performance Mode utilizing DLSS upscaling as soon as possible.
