It's called lag. Either your internet connection is not good enough to receive and send all the data properly and on time, or the server where you are playing on is not capable of sending and receiving the data from all players quickly enough. Your computer might also be the problem in case you don't meet the requirements to play the game at a steady framerate. Here's a more detailed explanation about lag:
"In online gaming, lag is a noticeable delay between the action of players and the reaction of the server. Although lag may be caused by high latency, it may also occur due to insufficient processing power in the client and/or server."
Check your internet speed, both upload and download. Also, make sure you are connected with a cable and not using wireless connection.

I have a 16.000 Internet Connection and a I7 6core ECU with a GTX 580... I think the System is fast enough for all 🙂
Thats the reason I don't understand it doesn't work. Does nobody have the same Problem with online gaming NFS Most Wanted ?
I cant even play online yet (it's why I am here..)
having a great connection to the internets doesn't always give you a great connection to a game server.
I've got a 150mb fibre line in my house. without any setting up, my connection to some games is beyond a joke because I've not made the necessary changes that allow me to play that game online correctly. Battlefield 3 is an example of that.
It could also be that the other players have trashy connections also.
It could also be that they are infact misbehaving oiks.
If it happens every game and within that game every driver, I'm pointing at your connection/router/setup.
Else, it could be a combination of any of the above.

wtf is a 16.000 connection lol? you mean 16mbit? it's not a very good connection for starters, but it's most likely either your ISP having crappy routing to the EA servers or some hardware like your modem/router or something having prolbems with packet loss as said above. Make sure all of your ports are open as well.
I've never had any troubles playing online. Think i've been disconnected like twice or something from out of all of my game time online. Currently on a 250/100 fibre cable connection, but it was just as good as when i had 100/10. There is, however a cheat where you can make your car jump right up in the air. I've seen it a few times, but if the cars skips back and forth and so on it's just lag and packet loss.

My internet connection is way slower than yours and I have no problems. About 12 Mbps download, and a mere 1 Mbps upload. It's crappy by today's standards, but I have no problems playing Most Wanted or any other game online.
Sometimes the lag comes from other players, they might have a poor internet connection or a bad framerate, and that doesn't allow their computers to send the data quickly enough to the server and from the server back to your computer. That's what causes lag.
Most Wanted has some performance issues that are yet to be solved, which can cause lag too. EA servers might sometime be overloaded, I've entered one or two games before where it was impossible to play, just people jumping everywhere.
I've seen one player cheating, though. Everytime I would approach his car, he would just jump one metre or so in the air and stay here. That wasn't lag for sure, it was some kind of cheat. But I've only seen that once. That way, this player avoided any takedown, he simply hovered above anyone else.
It is lag. Other people's internet must be really bad if yours is really good.
I have a 1Mbps ADSL Line. (1Mbps Down, 512Kbps Up).
Funny thing, it's not exactly lag. Players that seem to lag extremely for you, may not lag at all for others. I can only guess it's a desynchronization issue between clients.
I know exactly what you're talking about. My suite mate has this problem.
We've tried so far: Him playing on his own connection, me on mine, both wired directly to respective modems. He's the only one in a public game who warps all over the place (ON MY SCREEN). On his screen EVERYONE is warping all over the place.
Both of us wired to my connection. He is still the only one that warps everywhere on my screen, everyone warps on his screen.
Both of us wired to his connection, same thing.
Clearly this isn't a connection issue. Maybe there's some sort of hardware conflict or bad drivers. I got him to update all of his drivers but still the same problem persists. The only thing that seemed to help a LITTLE bit was uninstalling Hamachi from his computer. I'm not quite sure how that would help though.
My system:
p8p67 pro
i5 2500k @ 4.4
580 GTX DC II
8gb ram @ 2133
9mbit connection
His system: (unsure on most of it)
GA-970A-D3 Rev 1.4
Phenom II 6 core @ 3.2
AMD Radeon HD 7700 (I think)
16gb ram @ ?
1gigabit fios
