Title. I have done everything in my power to troubleshoot the lag issues in the game, which seems to always and only be on away games, and after deciding I got nothing to lose and spending the good part of the day investing in 87-88, making sets, selling, doing a ton of wheeling and dealing and upgrading my team to have all the cards I ever wanted - Montana, Metcalf, Pitts, Dave Robinson etc...I get FOUR AWAY GAMES IN A ROW, which all lagged, including in the playoffs, despite going 6-1 and when I got picked off because of the input delay I quit asap. This is, of course, on top of the myriad of issues in the game itself that never gets fixed, including but not limited to technical issues and glitches that make it basically anyone's game at random. There is no point to this. I knew better than to go beyond NMS, and should've known better than to get back into this joke of a game. I sold all of my big cards for the bare minimum or close to and hope they have more fun with it than I did. I'm sorry if this sounds negative or isn't allowed in the TOS or whatever, but I got nothing to lose anymore. Good luck have fun. Good game.
I'm sorry about your playing experience. That doesn't sound fun at all. Not in, but giveaways are always nice! GGs!
Hope you stick around. you're one of the better posters here and very knowledgable

Appreciate the kind words...the issues with the game, combined with the pay2win model and everyone repeatedly walleting out, it's all completely insane...and in spite of this money printer, they ignored me several times on their technical support forums, even though I eventually started posting about how they have been ignoring me. This is while pinging their representatives directly. No way I can continue with this insanity.
Hope you stick around on the site, I'm getting pretty fed up with the game on oldgen too
was planning on switching to PC next yr, are there lag issues on PC ? tons of issues with the game in general but lag for me hasn't been one using PS5 and 1k upload/1k dload fiber...

Yes I have lag on PC, ironically it's worse with other PC users and crossplay is the one thing that made it playable. I have pretty high internet speed and low latency, it's hardwired, yada yada; I verified all of it is covered (I'm pretty technically capable) and stated the above in their forums which is probably why they ignored me because they were out of their element at that point. This issue does not happen with other games. The issue for the most part, was only on away games with Madden...and I heard the home team serves as "the host" of the game. Not sure if it's true but it did seem to add up.
gotcha, that's frustrating, the dumb thing I learned was that the EA accounts aren't cross platform. I bought the PS5 version, then bought the PC version planning to switch but my same EA account on PC was level 68 with nothing, that was $130 down the toilet... EA sucks
what is your upload dload speed on speedtest.net if you don't mind me asking ?

Nah I don't mind. 470 megs down, 12 up, 8 MS latency. Probably shouldn't have called that "high" in this day and age, but it's high by the standards of what is available in my area.
Edit - my bad, went off of speed test on google; I'm pretty tired today. Speeds are the same but 18 ms idle latency, 33 download latency, 38 upload latency. Doesn't change anything but figured I'd stay accurate.
Sucks that performance on pc is that. I always enjoyed reading your posts about scheme. They always managed to teach me a thing or too.
gotcha yeah that should be good enough for sure
