Hi there, @Dadaruklija
We're not aware of any changes on our end that would cause. If you'd like to go through some connection troubleshooting, let me know. Thanks!
Community ManagerThe speed-up lag as well as your players feeling less agile sounds like a connection issue. Have you spoken with your ISP to see if they are noticing any issues?
I found this on german FIFA forum(i am from Austria)
Other game, same problems since 2-3 years
Das hat aber mit der verbindung was zutun, wovon du schreibst..der näher zu den servern ist und die bessere leitung, niedrigeren ping hat, ist im vorteil..
Es ist auch in anderen Games.. Man bekommt es da aber meist erst mit, wenn jemand bei dir zockt, der gut ist und das Game kennt oder du wo anders zockst... Zb Warzone, Fortnite usw.. Man denkt eben, der Gegner hat einen früher gesehen oder man hat veraimt oder die Gegner sind eben viel besser usw oder das Game steuert sich eben so.... Wir haben fast mehr Shooter Spieler in der Gruppe mit dem Problem...

Wenn "nur" das, das problem wär dann könnte ich damit leben und weiterhin FIFA spielen..bei uns, die davon betroffen sind, verhalten sich die Spieler wie hirnlose Hühner..pässe verhungern obwohl man voll auflädt, Spieler prallen aufeinander, wenns ganz ganz schlimm ist, was auch nicht selten ist, sprinten sie nicht mal..das hat alles mit der verbindung nichts zutun. Ob es tatsächlich der cloudspeicher verursacht, weiß ich nicht, bin kein experte dass ich da groß mitreden kann aber für unmöglich halte ich es nicht.. "wir" könnten es ganz einfach testen ob es der cloudspeicher ist oder nicht, indem einer, der eine xbox sx oder eine PS5 discvers. hat, das Spiel komplett deinstalliert und dann OFFLINE (ja nicht mit dem profil anmelden) runterlädt und dann auch, ohne mit dem internet zu verbinden, mit einem anderen bzw neuen profil das Spiel startet..vorher natürlich, bevor man das spiel löscht, 4-5 partien offlline im aktuellen zustand spielen damit man den unterschied fühlen und sehen kann, dann können wir den cloudspeicher/die synchronisation ausschließen, wenn das spiel nach wie vor nicht tadellos läuft, aber wenn wie geschmiert läuft dann ist es definitiv der cloudspeicherYou can translate it

But that has something to do with the connection you write about. The one who is closer to the servers and has the better line, lower ping, is at an advantage.
If "only" that, the problem would be then I could live with it and continue to play FIFA. with us who are affected by this, the players behave like mindless chickens. Passes starve even though you fully charge, players collide, if it's really bad, which is not uncommon, they don't even sprint. None of this has anything to do with the connection. Whether it actually causes the cloud storage, I do not know, I'm not an expert that I can have a big say but I don't think it's impossible. "We" could easily test it whether it's cloud storage or not by using someone discversing an Xbox SX or a PS5. , completely uninstalled the game and then OFFLINE (yes do not log in with the profile) and then, without connecting to the Internet, starts the game with another or new profile. Before that, of course, before you start the game delete, play 4-5 games offlline in its current state So that you can feel and see the difference, then we can exclude the cloud storage/synchronization if the game still does not run perfectly, but if it runs like clockwork then it is definitely the cloud storage
I'll pass this on to the team. Thank you.
TO QUOTE MY POST IN THE OTHER THREAD (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Input-Lag-Unresponsiveness/m-p/12014081#M636):
"Not that I needed to know this, because I have tried it before, but I just uninstalled the game. Re-downloaded it. Unplugged my ethernet, signed out, loaded the game from scratch (original menus), chose not to sign in and not save data. Went to Offline Free Skate, where I test it normally..........and it's normal. I don't think I've ever tried it not signed into some account, even an alternate. Not that it matters because the point is to sign in online and play.
It's so painfully obvious that it's a Cloud issue, or something with the Cloud interacting with the Xbox itself. It would be nice if it got the attention it deserved. THE ISSUE IS IN NEON LIGHTS. IF this doesn't bring us closer to some actual solution, then we'll never get one."

I have no idea why it's a vocal minority of us with this input lag, syncing issue or whatever it is, but we're clearly headed in the right direction diagnosing it. It needs to be addressed.
We are definitely very close to the solution, but the question is whether EA can solve this quickly even if they want it and whether they have to cooperate with MS and Sony to fix it
and if EA can fix it then sales( and in FIFA) will go up and more packs will open again because nobody puts money into a game that doesn't work properly
i link you some vids and then you can think by you're own, whats the problem is.
Its definitly not you and you will expierience this in any game, since something fks up the Internet on the local Area, from where you playing from.
Internet at its own is so complex that its the only thing which can change from one second to the other and you will expierence those also on you're online Expierences.

Exactly the same for me. I have done ALL troubleshooting on connection and nothing wrong.. cleared alternativ mac restarted everything.. game is sooooooo slow! And ping is often under 20ms but game is unplayable!!! Fast team but they don't skate fast... Stop telling there is a connection problem and help us out instead!? Servers just good for people in division 1 or what is going on? If we spend money on something we want we expect help to get everything work as good as possible.. or do you guys think different???
Most not all, people are in higher division because they don't have connection issue. I made a list of people and their location, win or loss, in Rivals vs me last year. I did max rivals games 3 weeks in a row. I was in division 2. The most people I played, by far, were people in Montreal or DC area, which happens to be where servers are. I play all different online games, no issue. The best connection I felt was when I played people in my area. This games population is so low they have to match people everywhere and some people will have big advantage. I was going to wait for crossplatform or crossplay whatever it was but there is no use at this point. This game is pretty bad, obviously by all the bugs and crap, you think adding server locations and fixing their * netcode is top of the list?
I am done with EA games tbh. Over the past few years everything they make is *.
@DadaruklijaI've had ~ 3 next gen Xbox consoles, 5 controllers, 2 gaming monitors, 4 hdmi cables, 2 modems, 3 ethernet cables. I've used every setting and combo possible. There's no possible hardware issue that could explain an issue that is online and offline, with other games not having this issue.
Unlike the majority, EA can't hit me with the replace hardware line of reasoning, and given that it's offline, ditto for the usual QoS router or internet provider talk. As long as people talk about the servers (which have always been inconsistent), it gives them an excuse to bury what is a complicated issue for which they're at fault. I've not heard one rationale provided for how so many unique pieces of hardware all have an offline issue singularly with the Frostbite NHL series.
Another one of the curious irregularities I get when testing in offline free skate over the last handful of months......
I will load it up, it will feel normal-ish for several minutes, and then there's a sudden change where everything gets heavier and my player starts not inputting stick movements properly. Something happens in the middle of testing an offline mode that sinks the gameplay.
