Worst lag ever

Just an abortion is probably the best way to describe it.

Here I am playing a ranked game against an opponent who is so much better than me - gee what a surprise and I’m experiencing the worst lag I’ve ever seen just to top it off.

I literally can’t do a thing.

    Hello. Try power cycling your equipment with these steps:

    1. Unplug your modem/router for 2 minutes
    2. Hard restart your console by holding down the power button until it turns off
    3. Power it all up and try playing again


    Let me know if that clears up the lag or not. If it doesn't, there are some additional connection troubleshooting steps here. If that still doesn't help, let me know if you're on a wired or wireless connection and which console you play on. Thanks!

    We’ve tried these steps before and our connection is good and fast but we seem to have that half second delay with online matches.

    We both play on PS5 with wireless connections.

  • This has been a constant problem with EA's decision to remove online HUT servers this year.  They have handcuffed a lot of the playerbase into playing games on 3x the ping( 30-40 m/s) from previous years to then have to constantly play people on servers with 2 m/s pings. 

    It makes it so people that lost their home servers this year can't even be competitive. The seond you have two people of the same skill with one on 2 m/s and one on 30 m/s the 2 m/s player will always win. 

  • Curious if this is happening on your original search for an opponent or if it’s on the second or third attempt and they’re just trying to get you into a game.
