Input Lag/Unresponsiveness
New game, same issue. Since last January. Not my first rodeo posting here! To get the jump on the response: Xbox Series X, 1ms monitor, all hardware has been swapped multiple times (including my sys...

@6oct1on0jvxwYou're not wrong. I don't play on PC or Rocket League, but some things sound very similar. Whether it's the few seconds normal before something suddenly looks off with the frames (like a mini stutter) and the delay returns. Or obviously the delayed inputs. Or not even delayed -- simply failed inputs.
The most apparent issue is that it affects offline modes too. There's nothing you can say about the internet (let alone a stable 1GB connection) that clears that up. I don't have issues in other high paced games. And when online clears up or offline, the other invariably does too. It's always both at the same time. I don't play much these days, and it's not consistent with it, but some of the time it clears up at 3-4am like clockwork. My skater is flying in free skate. No sudden stops when turning, my right stick moves faster, animations clean up.
From the very first post, this is about as simple a representation as it gets:
It's been 18 months, EA doesn't care. You'll never hear a peep of a response from this "team" that supposedly is receiving this information. I have dozens of videos. Like talking to a wall.
I've never played FIFA before, but my friend asked me to play, so I gave it a go. I don't have this input delay in FIFA, offline or online. I don't have it in any other game.
Something I posted a long time ago was about how NHL starts up. It will always shortcut boot up, and I'm not talking quick resume. Click the app and it's a grey loading screen. It will always show you the last played mode, even if you delete the game. The full reboot white EA screen -- which you cannot replicate with a factory reset, a game re-download.....anything EXCEPT clearing data offline and reloading the game offline -- appears on FIFA every single time you load the app. I find that unusual, especially since I don't have the same delay there.
Something is wrong with how EA NHL accesses my account/cloud/save data, and I'll die on that hill. It's why if I totally delete all save data (you have to do it twice), set my Xbox to offline only, and load the game not under any account, it feels normal in free skate. But as soon as you sign in, it will ask to load cloud data. I'm not sure how to square the circle of the game sometimes performing normally (offline too) at 3-4am. One of the cleanest nights of the year happened too immediately after the servers crashed.
@DeliveryForKikiI feel like if you give FIFA some time, the same issues will start occurring. I have the exact same issues in FIFA as mentioned previously. The input lag spills out into all offline modes when logged into the EA account. When logged out, everything works as intended.
The experience always degrades from the first time I start playing. First couple of weeks are good, and then the issues start. Happened on Xbox, PS, and PC.@MrTryfe @DeliveryForKiki Yeah it’s no different for me in FIFA. It’s just less noticeable if you 1.Aren’t as familiar with the game
2. Have no reference to times when the inputs were infinitely more responsive and precise.
Hello! I wanted to chime in on this discussion even though I dont play this game. I've been having similar problems on rainbow six siege on my xbox series s. The input feeling heavy, sluggish and delayed. I have searched all over the internet for fixes. I've swapped hardware and tried everything you possible can to fix this. I found this post and your comments about going offline and deleting the game data and that was what worked for me in r6s. As I suspected that its something to do with cloud data, syncing issues your method proved that. There is definitely something wrong with xbox syncing/ quick resume or something related to the cloud. Idk if the fix is permanent for me but for now it has worked. 👍

Hi there, @tktheraider
EA does not make the Rainbow Six games. I recommend contacting Ubisoft support for assistance.
