Like you, I've gone through multiple consoles, PS and Xbox, and eventually to the PC version of FIFA this year. No luck. I've been with 3 different ISPs during this time, have used 4 different modems, various routers (note - DumaOS will not fix this issue), and have switched out various other equipment like controllers and monitors. Have fiddled with a ton of settings all these pieces of equipment, and the end results have repeatedly left me back at stage one. It's groundhog day every time I get a new idea to try out.
Two weeks ago, I had a period of 12 or so hours where the gameplay on FIFA felt like a fever dream. I was winning nearly all of my games. Rivals was a breeze, WL was a breeze. The next day, back to the same old. Honestly, it felt very cruel, but we are just playing video games after all so it doesn't really affect my sanity at the end of the day. Still, to get a taste of something like that and then to go back to the usual was a bit depressing.
I replicated what you did by uninstalling the game and booting it up offline after reinstalling it. The gameplay was smooth in the arena and other modes. It was that way for a little bit after coming back online, and within an hour, it was all sluggish again. Tried some squad battles, and it felt like the latency was 300ms.
I'm still not sure who or what the culprit is. Every other game works fine. Maybe its the routing. Some people say its node congestion and its your ISP at fault, but this doesn't explain why other games aren't affected. Some say its EA inducing DDA, which was never a good explanation because some people seem to always have it good connection wise. Anyways, this is just a usual tepid request for some sort of clarity from someone on EA's side.

@DeliveryForKikiI came upon this thread a few days ago, mainly because I have been having the exact same issues for a period of 5 years now with FIFA - dating back to FIFA 18.

Weirdly enough, about 2-3 weeks ago, I also had the best few consecutive days on the game I've had in 12 months. I've been noticing recently, since I'm a late night guy, that my game resolves around 3am each night. Like clockwork, it feels more normal online and offline. Just to feel like crap the next night before that time. To your point, the taste of normal gameplay is tantalizingly maddening. That's how everyone else feels all the time.
Like you, every other game works fine for me. And I haven't heard one explanation from EA how this could impact OFFLINE modes too -- I don't think we've gotten a response in 3 weeks (I guess you can only write so many evasive non-comments). I even included new videos last week of the delay happening in real time (linked again below*). They're connected somehow; when it feels normal offline, it feels normal online.
