Severe Gameplay Lag / Input Delay During Online Matches (FIFA 26)

I would like to report a major issue I am experiencing in FIFA 26 during online gameplay

while playing online matches, the gameplay becomes delayed even though the ping is stable and low.

The game feels like I am behind the actual match by around 3–4 seconds.
Player input takes a long time to register.
The only temporary workaround is to pause the game.
After pressing Resume, the game becomes extremely fast (speed-up lag) for a few seconds, then returns to normal briefly before lagging again.

This repeats multiple times during the match

  • Have the same issue playing in pc. i9 14900hx with an Rtx 4070.  For 2 months now alway hoping for it to be fixed but to no avail. I am a div 2/1 player now in div 9 have never won a game in two months due to this same issue. FYI my ping is 20ms max

  • Still no solution? Very incompetent of EA. after paying 100usd for a game its completely unplayable and this is 3 whole months after release!!!! 

  • Is there any solution about this ? I have the same problem and it’s being 2nmonths now. We can’t play the game at all

    I also have the same issue. game feel very stiff and players do the ball roll after 2-3 sec and very slowly. Games smoothness is not there. I have more than the recomm ended hardware however game feels very laggy. Skill moves you cant perform no driblling or very slow driblling that too after 2-3 secs of input.

    Same here, I cant even play rivals cause the same issues, and each atualization it get worst, EA can't even fix it to help us, I payd **bleep** 100usd on this game and I can't even play a single rivals game. Incopetent company, that can't even properly lauch a good uptade without affect the manority of the players base, THANKS EA, I HOPE THE NEXT FC FALLS IN DISUSE !!

    I am having similar issue with even the offline mode.

    I would have to quit the game and restart it before it plays normally for about 4 games then it lags again

    Just dont bother if you want to play this game with friends across countries. They havent fixed this issue in last 4 yrs. Seems like they aren't bothered. Thousands of us have complained.  Moderator will simply blame your network. I have my playing friends in other countries we take a trial version every year see if its fixed and discontinue. Doing this for 4 yrs. If you want to win just be the home team (the one who sends invite) your servers responses will be fastest as it selects the server close to you. Away person in another country will face lag which means tackles cant be made, shooting is difficult and goal keeper cant save.
