Pro Clubs Ping Issues

[BUG] Pro Clubs Server Selection Randomising Every Game — British Isles Switching to Western Europe

 

Since EA added new servers to the Pro Clubs rotation, server selection is no longer holding between matches.

What's happening:

Server is set correctly before a match (e.g. British Isle 2)

When connecting to an opponent, it is completely luck of the draw whether the game respects your chosen server or silently bumps you into a random region

The issue appears to be specifically affecting the team accepting the invite — the accepting team's server selection is being overridden and randomised at the point of accepting, regardless of what region they had set

Even when it does hold, after the match ends it can switch to a completely different region (e.g. Western Europe) without the player changing anything

Both clubs have to fully reset their lobby and recheck server selection before every single game

Real world impact:

Out of a full evening of matches, players are reporting only 2-3 games on an acceptable server. The remainder are played on severely increased ping making the experience genuinely unplayable rather than enjoyable. This is ruining competitive matches entirely.

 

Expected behaviour:

Server selection should remain on the chosen server at all times. Accepting a match invite should never override or randomise the agreed server region.

 

When it started: After EA's recent server infrastructure changes.

  • This is absolutely correct!!! This is why this needs fixing. Please listen to what is being said and care for your community!

  • Thai needs sorting.  It’s having a massive negative effect across the pro clubs community. 

  • It is even more ugly on our end!!

    I'm from Egypt and my team mostly from there we used to play perfectly fine on any EU servers our ping ranging from 45 to 59 ms which is cool, after the update, in any friendly game we play on 150 MS ~ 280 MS!!

    Even if the servers are on EU, out of a full night we can play 2 games on normal ping!

    It's completely ruining the pro clubs experience and leaving a community at a loose end because the game mode is unplayable.
