Thank you for the reply. I appreciate that you’re looking into this and asking for more information. However, I’d like to clarify that the menu lag being reported by the community is not an isolated issue nor something that was universally resolved after launch. While restarting the game may temporarily help in some cases, the sluggishness in menus—particularly in modes like Hockey Ultimate Team—remains a consistent problem for many players.
I will gladly record and upload a video demonstrating the lag I’m experiencing. I’ll provide a link shortly. In the meantime, I’d also encourage your team to revisit feedback across multiple platforms (EA forums, Reddit, etc.), as many users have reported similar issues. The lag tends to occur during:
•Navigating the auction house.
•Scrolling through team lineups or collections.
•Accessing rewards and objectives screens.
•Even just exiting after a game/challenge etc. becomes unbearable
The issue seems tied to excessive data fetching or inefficient asset loading, especially during peak times. Even if menus have improved in some areas compared to previous years, this remains a significant pain point for many of us.
It feels counterproductive to ask players to frequently disengage from the game—whether to restart the console or relaunch the game. Interrupting the flow like this can lead to frustration, and some players might simply lose interest and not return. Creating a seamless experience is crucial to keeping players invested
You have expressed the lag issue in this game quite admirably. Your suggestions of which you have submitted, I concur, that given the scope in which modification is needed, like your post suggests. Is definitely something the designers of this game should look into. It is not just about how the game looks on the screen, as it seems EA is satisfied with. But the underlying script, and algorithms that are needed to quantify the game as a whole. This forum is but a chalkboard in which to express frustrations and possible suggestions. Unfortunately. It is a rare occurance that a suggestion from one such as yourself makes it to the ears of those responsible for this debacle. I truly hope that yours is one of those rare cases, that is implemented by those responsible. Great post!
