Fix H2H Matchmaking to Address Latency/Lag
EA:. PLEASE do something to fix H2H matchmaking to prevent ping rates above 50-60ms. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that it’s incredibly annoying/demoralizing to regularly find myself in unwinnabl...

Man, I can’t imagine how bad it must be to play this game from a geographically isolated a location . I live in a metropolitan area of over 1.5 million with just 60 miles separating me from San Francisco, so it’s absolutely stunning that I have to endure +60ms ping in more than half my H2H matches when there are undoubtedly scores (if not hundreds) of FC Mobiles users online in my backyard at most hours of the day.
I know it’s probably futile, but I’m going to keep posting. I also filled out the recent “motivations” survey EA put out and let them know loud and clear that it makes ZERO sense for any of us F2P users to EVER spend money when the matchplay is so laggy/crappy as to deny us any enjoyment from buying better players. It’s a fundamental flaw in their “value proposition” if you ask me. If they want to keep taking FC Mobile in the direction they’ve been headed (of running it like a football-themed slot machine for collecting players) then I guess there may be a handful of folks rich enough and/or stupid enough to keep spending, but at some point us F2Ps are just going to bail completely. I mean, the very fact that they’ve put out this survey suggests they are struggling to grow revenue and my guess is that its because they’ve maxed out the “addicts” and they’ve treated the rest of us like garbage for so long that most of us don’t even bother with the $0.39 or $0.99 offers anymore—because what’s the point???
Here’s the latest of my (thrice) daily H2H torture sessions. Lower OVR opponent, but lag absolutely killed the match.
EA, why should anyone pay for this laggy nonsense? It’s everyday. More than half of H2H matchups where my ping doubles or triples and it becomes impossible to compete with (let alone beat) lesser teams. 😡
How is it that with the update the H2H ping has actually gotten WORSE??? Just played a match where my ping quadrupled! This isn’t a fun, competitive match—not even remotely! Feels like a slap in the face when EA talks a big game about “listening” to users but fails to address basic and persistent issues like H2H lag.
Over and over again, the lag kills the competitiveness and the fun. EA are so full of crap when they say they “listen” to us. I’ve been posting about this issue
for months and months. I’ve also filled out at least six surveys. There are actionable solutions to address latency and they refuse to do anything about it. Why should anyone pay their hard-earned money to acquire top players if they can’t enjoy playing with them against other users?
Are you kidding, EA?
135ms ping (and this wasn’t even the highest reading of the match. What a joke.
