Severe Input Lag in EA FC 26 – Game Is Unplayable (PC / Ultimate Team)

For approximately two weeks, EA FC 26 has been suffering from extreme input lag, making it impossible to play any online match, especially in Ultimate Team. I’ve been playing on the same PC hardware and configuration for years, and I have never experienced this issue in previous FIFA / EA FC titles. No changes were made to my system, drivers, or network that could justify this behavior. What’s even more concerning is that many other PC players are reporting the exact same problem, which strongly suggests that this is not a hardware or local network issue, but rather poor optimization or server-side problems introduced in recent updates. The input delay is constant and severe: Players respond seconds late Commands feel ignored or delayed Online gameplay becomes completely uncompetitive and frustrating EA is charging premium pricing (around R$300 in Brazil) for this game, yet the product is currently unplayable online, which is unacceptable for a title that heavily depends on online modes. We need: An official acknowledgment of the issue Transparency about what changed in recent updates A real fix, not generic troubleshooting steps that don’t address the root cause This situation is extremely frustrating for loyal players who invested in the game expecting a functional online experience.
