Unbearable "Heavy" Gameplay and Sluggish Dribbling

Hi everyone, I am reaching out to see if anyone has a definitive fix for the extreme heavy gameplay in FC. For some time now, the game has felt incredibly sluggish. Turning with players feels like they are moving through mud, and dribbling is unresponsive, making it impossible to perform quick transitions or skill moves effectively. This is a constant feeling of weight on the players, regardless of their agility stats. I have already performed several advanced technical optimizations to ensure the issue is not on my end, but nothing has provided a permanent fix. I have used Custom Resolution Utility (CRU) to optimize monitor timings and experimented with different sync polarities. My controller polling rate has been overclocked to 1000Hz (1ms). I have also tested various V-Sync configurations (Fast Sync, OFF, ON) alongside Ultra Low Latency mode and set NVIDIA Power Management to Maximum Performance. In-game, I have disabled Dynamic Resolution and frame limiters. I am running this on a high-spec Lenovo Gaming Laptop with optimized thermal profiles and all background overlays disabled. Despite the FPS being high and stable, the actual physics and gameplay feel desynced and heavy. It feels as if the game engine is struggling with its internal simulation, leading to delayed animations and unresponsive dribbling. Has the team acknowledged any issues regarding engine-level simulation speed or frame-pacing that could cause this heavy feeling? Any advice from the community would be appreciated.

  • My computer's specifications are as follows:

    Motherboard - MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi (MS-7E49)
    Processor - AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor
    RAM - G Skill 16x2 6600mhz
    Graphics card - Sapphire RX 7900 XTX
    NVMe SSD - Samsung SSD 9100 PRO 2TB

    I use 1000 Mb fiber internet, and my in-game ping is usually around 30. I'm experiencing the same problem you're having. I throw a pass, and it goes 1 second later. Players can't move, as if someone is holding them back. I want to slide into the opponent, and it happens 1 second later. All my opponents' passes are super fast and accurate, and it's really frustrating. I opened ports on the modem, didn't work. I adjusted settings through Adrenalin Edition, didn't work. Nothing I tried worked. I'm constantly breaking my arm :)) The game is unplayable, it's literally aging me. I think I'll stop playing soon, it looks like it. EA needs to fix this issue urgently, but they're more concerned with the money they're making than addressing player issues. They should be grateful that Konami messed up PES so badly; otherwise, I'm sure everyone would be playing that instead. Anyway, I hope our issues get resolved. Wishing you all enjoyable games. Cheers.
