Hey everyone,

thank you for all your reports and making us aware of these false bans. Our Security team reviewed the cases and, as many of you already learned, removed a lot of the sanctions.

Ensuring the integrity of our transfer market and economy can be a bit challenging at times. Thanks for bearing with us.

Hello EA community,

 

I’m experiencing a serious gameplay issue in EA Sports FC 26 on PC, specifically in online modes (Clubs and FUT).

 

Here is my situation:

 

  • Platform: PC
  • GPU: GTX 1650
  • RAM: 16 GB
  • CPU: Intel i5 9th gen
  • Connection: Ethernet (wired, not Wi-Fi)
  • Stable FPS (60), no drops
  • No overheating (CPU/GPU temperatures are normal)
  • Background apps closed

 

 

Important details:

 

  • The game runs perfectly offline
  • FC 25 works perfectly online on the same PC and same connection
  • In FC 26, online gameplay starts fine but after a few minutes:
    • players feel heavy and unresponsive
    • passes and shots are delayed
    • overall gameplay becomes slow
  •  
  • This happens even with good ping before the match
  • Speed tests show low base ping but very high ping under load (bufferbloat)

 

 

I have already tried:

 

  • Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi
  • Changing DNS
  • Disabling IPv6
  • Forcing high performance GPU
  • Windows and NVIDIA optimizations
  • Different graphics settings
  • Playing at different times of the day

 

 

Nothing fixes the issue only in FC 26 online.

 

This feels like a server-side / netcode issue on PC, especially related to latency stability, not raw ping or hardware performance.

 

I would like to know:

 

  • Is this a known issue on FC 26 PC?
  • Are there server or netcode optimizations planned?
  • Is EA aware of high latency under load affecting gameplay?

 

 

Thank you in advance.

I hope this can be investigated, because the game is currently unplayable online for me.
