Is it possible to adjust ping or servers like the nhl games

I am having severe trouble with lag when playing head 2 head games on madden. I live in a densely populated state and I also have to have high speed internet since I work from home. Direct LAN cable is plugged into my ps5 with little network activity on my router and I am still experiencing extreme lag every snap. This lag is causing delays between 3 to 5 seconds every play and every drop back I am getting sacked 20 yards on offense  and giving up touchdowns every play on defense. The game is virtually unplayable for me in head 2 head because the lag is so bad I literally cannot see what my players are doing to make a decision nor react to the opposing team. In NHL they allow you to adjust max ping or your servers on FIFA does madden have an option for this? This is the only thing I can think of doing since I know from my experience in other games and from work that it’s not my internet that is the problem.

    Unfortunately, Madden NFL 25 does not offer an in-game option to manually select servers or set a max ping limit like NHL or FC. The game relies on its matchmaking system to automatically connect players to the nearest and most stable servers, which can sometimes lead to connection issues depending on server load or routing.

    There are quite a few steps you can try, and we can send them if you like, but essentially, the bottom line is no, there is no for Madden.

    honestly I would appreciate anything at this point to see if it can help. I am getting 175 mbps speed in my room and I noticed that the main issue that causes these 3 to 5 seconds of lag and input delays is a message saying your opponent is having trouble with connection please wait while we reconnect. Is there anything I can do about that? It doesn’t seem totally fair that I am the one punished while the person with the unstable WiFi is not. Thank you again.
