Imagine driving a car on a straight road with the wheel perfectly straight — but the car drifts to one side because the alignment is off. That’s what playing your game feels like. You give clear commands, but players drift, stop, or react too slowly.
Some days the game is amazing: no latency, players move exactly as you tell them. Other days, nothing works. Within 10 seconds, you already know the match is broken.
It’s frustrating. Even packing top players like R9 or Mbappé doesn’t feel rewarding because match enjoyment depends entirely on player responsiveness — and that’s in EA’s hands.
I’m a loyal player: I play every day, do SBCs regularly, and invest time because I love football and this game. Yet I’ve stopped playing FUT Champions every weekend since October due to latency. If someone like me is discouraged, I know many others are too.
So keep it up. I’ve moved on to Microsoft Flight Simulator on PS5, flying London to Toronto is more fun.
At least its controls work — otherwise the plane would crash immediately, unlike your game.
