Guys, please note that when I say "all pc hackers" its hyperbole, please do not take it literally, I cant believe people are genuinely feeling attacked lolol, obviously its not *ALL* majority are normal, but in higher divs its different, I have seem to upset many people as you will see below LOL We apologise for our figure of speech xd
I'm Div 1 on PC currently and I don't play against hackers ever, in draft I've been no loss glitched maybe twice in 50 games so I feel like this statement is completely unjust and when you comment on your own video addressing your word vomit with "lolol" in the comment it seems pretty sarcastic. Truth is EA completely neglect PC and aren't interested in a correct form of anti-cheat and it makes people paranoid, the game is terribly optimized too so to be honest most console players are at an advantage by playing PC. Misleading information like this ruins the gaming experience for the 30% of us that play on PC because alot of ill-informed people will take your advice as gospel and before you know it we're playing the same 5 people in Elite Div after waiting 15 minutes to matchmake.
I encountered 1 hacker in almost 700 games on PC, draft is a different story but the normal modes i have never seen 1 but that 1 time.. no reason to turn off crossplay..
You upset people because you talk about something you clearly do you not have any idea about. As others have said, it's not just the majority that's normal, it's close to every single player. 5k+ games over the last few years, had ONE experience with a hacker. Sure, it's anecdotal, but almost everyone else is saying the same.
I am high elite div player (last season ended on 920 points) Only "hacks" I encounter are no loss glitches which are annoying but is also possible on console. I played nearly 500 games this ea fc and encountered 1 hacker in champs who made my glitch into the menus while they played. This guy normally has some decent content but he clearly doesn't know shit about the state of pc play for the game he makes guides about. Takes away his credibility in my opinion. Overall I am sure that pc is actually the best platform to play this game on. However only slightly, the moment the Devs are going to put more effort into the bugs and errors and pc it would be by far the best platform.
exactly, its crazy how we still get that stigma going on, its not that the anti cheat doesnt work at all, also if everyone, if you think someone is sus, would take the time to report, that would help ea more than turning of crossplay. but at this point i would love more players to play against, so DONT TURN OF CROSSPLAY @@Calilyce
Ok so, I'm here to say that brother you literally made my life better, thank you so much lad. Just before watching this video I was about to take a break from EAfc 24 and I am an elite div player. I just couldn't stand the lags and my camera was sh.t and all that. Since I have tried your settings, I feel a lot of ease playing this game, I beat opponent I would never beat before. Thank you again dude much love, I'm following + liking!
Bro get a fu*ing life..
Love the videos Neal. A rooter is something completely different down here in Australia. 😂 Keep up the good work.
Got an Ethernet cable nothing changed if anything it was worse tbh. The input delay on this game is horrendous. Literally affects everything. Players will just wander out of position an they all feel like they have cement in their boots. Whenever I shoot, pass, switch player, tackle everything always happens a second or 2 later. It’s so jarring an it results in me getting beat by people I should be beating
Same here. It's frustrating
I've had play styles overhead off and the newer stuff they added recently yet for bellingham it still shows his Relentless above but noone else's play styles.
THIS IS USEFUL!!!
My ping is always at 20-25 and it’s already been 13 days that I have terrible gameplay. Only 3 out of the 13 days I had no lag, so back to the ping, I have 20-25 each game and gameplay lags over and over as if I have 100 ping, menus work smoothly but gameplay is just terrible. I’m in California too
You are lucky i play with 150 to 200+ ping everyday
In Australia especially Melbourne,the game is unplayable most of the time I have good internet and use LAN cable but every single game my players are stuck in the mud . And ping is around 24 to 32 ms
Yeah the aus server is just crazy congested it doesn't really matter what ping you get I'm connecting to it from nz and get 50-60 ping on 1gb download and sometimes it feels better on 60 than 50 it's just weird
Man you complaining about 25-30 ping.....I dare you to play with my connection(that should be strong)..in game I ping minimal 90 and most of times it jump to 100/200🤣
@@DarioKnifer that's why you replied my comment 5 month later 😜
@@mohsensk4304 AHAHAHAHAH yeah but I just saw the video now 🤣 same for the comments
I dont really lag or stutter but some days my Mbappe feels like Dzecko on the ball (nonresponsive left stick dribbling, takes forever to turn or do skill moves etc) and other days he feels cracked as he should be and I have no idea if its just the servers or something in my setup
It’s truly just ea gameplay and servers, some games my players are silky smooth, other games they can’t dribble or pass for their lives
Nothing to do with lag it's ea joke of a company I'm with you boys like 30 games in a row now bad gameplay players can't pass act like morons on the ball dribbling sucks it's just ea gameplay
did you find a fix for this bro because i’m having the same sort of issue i’m not actaully lagging but my players just feel so slow and i’m wired also but the players jusr don’t do the things i want them to straight away did you find a fix pls say if you did i’ve been trying to find a fix everywhere
Exactly this even 5 months later it's still the same issue
@@charizardsdealer i fixed mine bro mine was just to do with my internet but this years fifa still isn’t it definelty the worst one in a while
it doesnt matter ur connexion speed or all what u said earlier, i guarantee you, the delay depend on the servers , i play with game mode 1080p cable ethernet 400mb internet etccc and the only game i have on the playstation is fifa, and i full charge the controller etcccc but if the server is broken even with 10ms ping it's gonna be sloooow, while u can play in a good server wi th 40ms and the players gonna be super fast
You earned a subscriber man, soon as I changed those settings my players stopped moving like they were stuck in mud.
Quick tips, turn off crossplay and turn off play style plus animation. Make sure you’re hardwired. There ya go that’s about all you can do!
How do you tuen off play style plus animation?
there is nothing about this. ms (ping) not about plystyle plus anımation come on all about ea sports servers they are so so bad on lots of europe countries they earn billion of dollars but they do not support players !!
Thanks for video, hope your well
likewise hope you are well too
Thank you very much! It's going better.
It was an illusion last night. They started going horribly, I have more than 100ms in the match.
te a vrajit@@parascanciprian1051
Neal the problem is...I play on 70ms but in game it fluctautes to 200ms causing speed up lag...how do u fix this?
Im not sure aswell how u change server seems like there's no option to change server but im in australia and i have delay and usually playing with 55-60ms every game and im using lan cable
Could you please make L1/LB speed boost tutorial video on your channel
Good video bro i got a 1000mbps fibre in my home and still get my ping at around 26ms every game sometimes even higher like 46ms i dont know why i wish i had 4ms ping 😢
Whenever I try to change the priority on my FC 24 app, it says "The operation could not be completed. Access is denied." Know any workaround for this?
Perfect timing was getting stuttering and slow down lag last night. Was unplayable attacking and defending.
Same, it's the game servers. It's usually this bad in rivals on Wednesday because people are catching up with wins.
@@baz2374 that explains it. Was playing today after new nvidia drivers and it still stutters at times
Was using 100% of my cpu and made my audio go crispy 😂 games a pos
@@baz2374it's mad, I can't even get one win😅😅 and my team is actually good. Lost every game😂😂
@@RVFFICA been playing since 11 and it's gradually got worse. My connection has actually got better during the last 3 years. I monitor it using a 24/7 graph that measures latency. I'd get between 4 - 7ms easily a few years ago. Now I'm lucky if I'm under 20ms.
I don't think I ever played with less than 55ms 😂 in Australia
Shiiiet I live in Japan and play on the Aussie servers in clubs at 103 to 120 ms and I have fiber 1 Gb…still dominate…UT I get usually 6 ms and sometimes it’s worse than 103
Im on xbox, sometimes the game will lag and my character will be on a completely different part of the pitch, or my inputs wont respond at all. Something that i always see is that it takes at least a full second or two for my inputs to actually go through. Ill click a button, run 10 more meters still, then do the action. It ruins so many games. Also i drew a game because my PK was perfect, but because of my delay, it threw it to the worse accuracy and my guy missed. What a joke
I know maybe this question is out of context, why does AMD Radeon settings still detect our MS even though it is offline? Because I play FIFA in offline mode mostly in career mode, And MS changes make the gameplay change
How does the PS5 performance mode make a difference? Isn't this only used when a game offers different modes which FIFA doesn't.
Mine stutters then the player I'm using stops moving on pc, any suggestions on fixing it?
What about 60 to 80 ms. And stater. When Ruben Diaz is catching up with Best and Leao?
Ping Stability is the killer.. not the connection speed.. sure I can play at 40ms.. but when it is 40ms at the moment I pass, but the next second when he shoots at goal it’s 120ms back to 5ms.. How are you going to respond with the goalie if it’s all jumping up and down. Earlier on it used to jump to over 200ms during games..starting at 15ms.. haven’t seen that in a while now. 10/10 will get better if I get better at the basics.. you’re very right..but we’re not all in London.. I’m in South East Asia and Fiber connection wired..Cat 6a..but still it is the stability.
I can’t ping the EA servers here to get a log.. Where to find those IPs?
I’m in London and i get terrible gameplay
Help I'm lagging in single player! The game just pauses for about 10 seconds then resumes again, does this every minute or so. Squad battles and career mode
Bro please reply will it work on rtx 2050 gpu
Would you happen to know what TV brand is great for gameplay (1ms or around there)?
LG Ultragear 0.003ms 240hz 😉
@@Sorry-Buddy haha though i would love to play in a monitor, I’d have to settle with a tv for now
LG G3
What's dns guys you use in Europe on ps5?im leaving in czech republic and i have such a trash connect, i always playing vs germans / french ppls , and they got x10 better connect than me
Bro my gameplay is heavy im getting DDD by ea. I cant move nor dribble, theyre heavy stuck in mud like, they're hard to turn and im holding sprint and theyre not running. No matter what i try to do its mad awful and swithing players while defending is non existent
And still like this for me
I have problem with gamplay last week ping is good 32-34, but ingame i have red icon infront and I cant play always say bad connection and my players are freezing please help
How do you fix the shadows? When it's daytime, the shadows are so dark I cannot see anything around my corner.
I got perfect fps but my MS is super bad it goes all the way to 100-200 atleast once every 10 seconds, i cant play the game. Cant go beyond 9 futchamps wins i usually got to rank 2 and 1 before. And when i play ofline the game runs super smooth but online is chaos.
4:04 ethernet cable it depends. My wifi is better for some reason than ethernet. I think also you play different players if you use wifi or ethernet
Wired or wireless for the controller on PS5 for best responsiveness?
Wired controllers are always better for responsiveness
I am having a problem like in game while playing a match the players are running in slow motion and when I'm shooting the ball goal keepers are also diving in slow motion. I don't know what to do plss help.
I keep having an issue where the connection keeps dropping every 30 seconds or so, I get the connection issue notifications at the top middle of the screen when playing FIFA, had someone from my ISP ring me the other day and got me to change my EWAN. Been having the problem ever since. Can anyone help?
I've yet to encounter a hacker on PC since last FIFA, unsure if I have and haven't noticed?
I play on a tv on ps5, setting up Ethernet is impossible for me. I’ve been experiencing speed lag also at non stop on fifa 23 and fc 24 since April. I’ve tried every tutorial on KZhead and nothing has worked , the game is still hardly playable , I can’t take it anymore , someone please help me out.
I moved in a new Apartment and my Ping is like 40 ms, its terrible, i cant defend good or sth. How i can fix this
Could you show your squad, please?
I was playing today and I couldn’t even move because of soo much lag🤦♂️
I've had all this done already and still gameplay slow sluggish can't dribble.or pass properly unplayable but when I do have a game that's decent gameplay I smash it ea been like this for years no settings will fix it
I just leave my game preset on default mode. If i go with performance, my game just getting weird. My opponent see pretty smooth but my controller and movement delay like slug. And i saw australian streamer has a million number ms in matchmaking but how can his gameplay super smooth like 0ms?
Just played a squad battles match with the screen literally struggling. This is on PS5 with lgcx tv all the low latency and performance settings on i have the playstyles + indicator turned off its super weird man. I just think we’re playing a beta tbh 😂
i hate this game, my players are sliding, extremely unresponsive and my opponent is just running straight and changing direction and there's nothing i can do.
How would u fix ping in australia tho, im using ethernet and usually every game i play of rivals my average ping is 55-60ms and it doesn't go any lower than that
Get a speed pack update to your plan if youre on NBN. I use ethernet too and ping is constantly 5 in every game I play including this heap of crap lol. If you play alot of other games and can afford it it's worth it, lag is a thing of the past for me (unless I'm playing co op with my mate who literally hotspots from his phone and gets spikes over 1000ms lol)
@@Pepe_LeMac what do u mean by speed pack? and thanks for the reply
@@Pepe_LeMac and yes i am using nbn for my internet i have abouf 100mbps download and 40 upload speed
@@Azza_06 so if you have NBN internet in Australia (which I'm guessing you do as most residents were forced to use it) , you're most probably on the Standard Speed Plan which gives you roughly 40-50gbps download speed and like 20-50ms ping. If you call up NBN and say I want to upgrade my speed plan (I think you pay like $20 extra per month on top of whatever the original rate is) , it doubles your download speed so I get around 100-110 Mbps download speed and ping is constantly 5-6 ms(using ethernet cable). I will add a side note here : when I first upgraded to this speed plan I didn't notice a difference on my PC but I noticed other peoples phones in the house were reaching the speeds , not my PC though. Only after a NBN technician came out and fiddled with some sockets and cables in my house regarding phone lines and internet, then it finally started working. Since that day I've encountered 0 lag and extremely minimal drop outs, works like a charm ! Extra side note lol : it's more expensive but if you can get 5g going in your house that's definitely the way to go that shit is insanely fast. But you need to have it connected through your home modem. My phone can get 5g from general 5g towers in the area and hit download speeds of upto 650 Gbps which is more than 6x faster than my home wifi. HOWEVER it doesn't mean I can now hotspot my games and have no lag because hotspot still has to ping it's signal to and from towers which has a delay and so you end up still on like 20-30ms depending on how far the tower is. So yeah if you have the option to get 5g integrated HOME WIFI and it's financially feasible , do that. Otherwise the way Id recommend for only $20 more than what you're probably paying now is to upgrade to NBN speed plan 1. Hope that helps :)
One last side note: you can do all the upgrades you want on your end - it's not going to upgrade EAs shitty servers or change their server locations at the end of the day. Can only do what you can do.
outside of draft, theres very few people hacking. haven't come up against 1 so far this game in ~200 games
Why do they specifically hack drafts?
i get lag so terrible in game that the game will freeze and then speed up so i cant control my players and then as soon as i unfreeze it freezes again. also all my lobbies are slow, i cant even add a new player to my squad without the game lagging for 10 seconds before doing it
I have stutters and lags online no matter the settings on PC or how good ping and connection is I learn to play with it and this gives actually adventage to console players. , you can minimize it by turning off vsync in game and set refresh rate, and fps limit to your monitor/tv. In nvidia graphic settings set your resolution to games resolution and set the program settings vsync to on and prefer maximum performance , also low latency mode. Corner lags, animation stutters are there since early... access no patch fixed it yet. And regarding PC hackers I played few games where opponent had 75 rated team with 82 rated goalkeeper and I couldnt score any goal with my 88 rated team. 20+ shots on target and everything beautifuly saved. Am I so bad, was it hacker or was it handicap ?
I have same issue... I did same fix. I dont get the corner flag lags anymore but It will randomly just freeze mid game for no reasonn. Using 2 monitors can cause it aswell
@@StrongestNattyi get corner lags is that because i am using 2 monitors?

I'm PC and I do not hack. Also out of like 6 to 7 hundred games I've only encountered one hacker.
This is for pc mine keeps lagging all the time I'm on PS4
im a pc player.. i dont know how to hack.. i searched for it but couldn't find anything about how to use hack in fc ut
"on pc, everyone is basically hacking" Yeah... no. Played on pc for several years, think i encounter 1 hacker every 200 matches. And they just quit out before the game starts. If were talking drafts then yeah, hackers do play that mode but who cares as drafts is the most pointless mode on fut, id rather play squad battles over it. And yet again, they just quit out before the game starts, hardly game breaking. just play another match.
Yeah I only vs 1 hacker on champs and it was an invisible team. Played him in Qualifiers and on champs once each but that was it. Clubs I played 1 hacker team too, 99 rated pros and AI and Auto green timed shots but generally it's fair gameplay people that say hackers everywhere are just coping cos they lost to skill or DDA (Either one tbh) and crying wolf
Same for me. 0-0 quits abt what i usually encounter. Rubbish claims
False everyone hacking on pc 😂 turn off cross play their not worth playing
"played on pc for years never see cheaters" yeah, no. Cheaters are rife. Turn crossplay off.
@@azaman2604 0-0 are on both consoles, this is if A, someone sees your team and decided they dont want to play, or B, they are just trying to quickly get their games done to get rewards fast, they may have remaining games left over and choose not to give a win away, you dont lose anything there, you still get an extra game, you may lose 30 seconds of your life but that is all. It happends on both consoles. The truth is, there is no hacker on console, its impossible to even do it, thats why the market is not integrated, and never will be, no chance any business will do that, its obviously an exaggeration but the truth is all the hackers are on PC, if you play draft and go to the final, you can lose and gg, because you played a hacker, and then even sometimes get kicked out and get a loss. If you play Elite division as many people have told me on PC, its an absolute shambles, it may be fine on the higher divisions, where the casual players, but its not the same what you think, most of elite is full of green timed AI finesse shots and cheaters. The only reason you are upset is because you are a PC player and the pool of players are smaller, as I said, I am just stating how to avoid hackers as so many people face, no hackers on consoles though.

When my players go to take a corner it’s the worst for me, goes really laggy and stutters then after 4 seconds comes back. Idk if it’s the internet or gameplay but it feels like there’s loads of input delay when I play online, squad battles feels much more responsive and fluid, online feels like I have to predict the way people will move like half a second ahead of time. Also I’ve played on pc for years and never found a hacker so pls don’t shut us out 😢
