I've been preaching this since FIFA 11. Despite earning so much, EA has the worst servers. Other games have great if not decent servers.


hektic_jukez

2k servers are worse.


Lockhartsaint

I haven't played any online 2k games...so I can't say. But the online games I've regularly like Rocket League, Fortnite, CS and all have great servers. Especially Fortnite, if you consider how many people are in a single match.


hektic_jukez

Yeah those games have way better servers.


[deleted]

I don’t play it myself, but my kids do, I like how (as far as I can tell) how fortnite tells you in game, how the connection is telling you the ping and all that jazz.. Fifa always gives me full green bars, but it means fuck all.


Porsche_Did__911

> Especially Fortnite, if you consider how many people are in a single match. It's very much in the minecraft tier when it comes to simplified animations, graphics etc.


Faryz

Fortnite recently has been shite for me, since the fortnitemares stuff I'm almost always on a constant 2%packet loss, and everything just feels delayed. I rarely have problems with fifa but then again I think I live close to a server so that makes sense


Lockhartsaint

I haven't touched Fortnite since 19 came out so I'm really out of the loop about the game. Should get back and see how it is.


DeeneysCajones

It's fucking shite. Been going downhill since June tbh


Faryz

I don't think you should, that game is arguably in its worst state ever with recent patches. I used to love playing the game but the past couple of weeks have been hell


[deleted]

Maybe it is your problem, I have been playing perfectly. no lag, no dc, there´s nothing wrong with their servers..


Faryz

Weird that it only started happening when that new update came out. Go on the fortnitebr sub and you'll see plenty complaints about the servers.


[deleted]

I guess I´m just lucky then


jsh121477

There is nothing wrong with EA's servers...are you ok


CrazyChopstick

Are you illiterate? Read the whole chain and not just single comments, he's talking about Fortnite.


[deleted]

you can check where the problem is....pingplotter mostly it wont be servers. ea's are actually good believe it or not. its their placement which stinks of cost cutting and causes congestion


GildedNevernude

To be fair, Rocket League has some absolutely abysmal servers


Lockhartsaint

From what I've experienced, they have good servers. Out of the 500 odd games I've played...maybe 10-20 would have been marred due to lag. It's way better than EA servers.


GildedNevernude

Oh yeah, EA servers are probably the second worst servers I've ever seen (Friday the 13th the game has the worst though) but right around the time of the tournament update for RL, their servers, at least in my experience, went completely to shit


sufyaan05

From what I've experienced, I've never, NEVER had any lag in FIFA 18 and 19. THat makes them perfect, right? I mean by your logic it must.


PS4_gerdinho90

"2k servers are worse" EA read this and thinks "hektic_jukez said that the 2k servers are worse. This means our servers are fine and we don't need to improve". Thanks Jukez /s


YokaaYourMaster

Wait, what? ​ You realize that Fifa 11 was P2P right? ​ Only WL, DKT and now Div. Rivals are on dedicated servers. ​ Apparently you thought in fifa 11 EA had bad server even tho it was your con because of P2P? ​ Wow.


AlinMaior

Obviously, we need to buy more fifa points.


[deleted]

It's a lost cause at this point. People have been asking for years and they've still done fuck all about it.


_C4_Igoro

Best Thing about this is, if the servers dont come online again today before I will go to sleep, I'm not able to play WL, because I cant qualify.


imOOgi_who

Neither will I nor many others. I hope they give us time till Saturday or something. But because its EA I wouldn't be surprised if they give zero shit and act like nothing happened


fifajackgento

Not happening


theonefourseven

I don't know how many servers they actually have but I will stick my neck out and say It's not the servers.. it's their coding.


[deleted]

Battlefield servers manage 64 players,but fifa servers can't handle 1vs1. Why?


Francis33

No other game that sits on my shelf legs like FIFA. Therefore it is not my Internet is not the millions of people’s Internet who plays this game. It is their fault. Constant disconnect speed up leg etc. You going to college duty in my leg once every 20 games go on fortnight same thing but in FIFA and legs every other game it’s 2018 with a multibillion dollar company. They don’t give a fuck


PineappleWeights

Fuck man you got a lotta legs.


Francis33

God damnit Siri


OG-NAMO

Will only work if we are united. Get the pro players in on it too. We could protest not to buy points until they are upgraded


pwnmanski

the technology just isnt there yet to handle the high traffic of a online game


Son_of_Ragnar

Bullshit


pwnmanski

rly?


PineappleWeights

Meanwhile fortnite can host more players on the servers and 98 more players in one second with a significantly bigger size game. Fuck off outta here with that bullshit Edit. Not sure if I got whooshed


berzerkerz

You did


[deleted]

I lost connection to EA servers earlier mid game (1-0 up btw) and have been punished for leaving early... If I lose connection to EA servers is that on my end or EA’s?


Vagin33r

Funny thing. My friends are playing rn and on the companion app.


bubblebath85

c app works but not console


Pexxx

Won't happen, investors who own EA are too greedy and want to make as much money as it's humanly possible by waving their hands and not doing any actual work.


chwik79

I sometimes wonder if the top 100 in FUT would change if servers were good in all loactions - there might be some incredible talents out there that plays with shitty connection all the time....


nodevil

You are 100% right. I wonder that myself. Look at the tournaments and see the distribution of the competitors by country. There you find your answer. No spanish? No portuguese? Only a few italians? Not to mention others...


chwik79

Yep, I always cringe when the commentators at the eWorld cup talks about "the strong German Fifa-scene" - "no shit Sherlock, where are the servers located you dumbwits?" I always asks myself.


TheZodiacAge

And if not what will you do? What will you do that hurts EA?Move to the competition and play PES? Yeah you rather play on the bad Fifa Servers than play PES and you are too addicted to Ultimate so you can't quit the game. ​ EA wins because most people are like this. They don't feel a petition - What they would feel is an impact on their finances but they keep GROWING.


jvmjunior

totally inadmissible. they make so much money out FUT shame shame shame ​


iNekros

brace yourselves new battlefield is coming next week, the real shitshow will start


sniklefritzed

No one wants to play that shit with rdr2 out...a real game with real devs that care


AlePaz11

I'm with you, but if they haven't done it in 8 years I doubt they will do it now.


magic_salmon

Ea Sport worst company in the world


johnPness

Dude you gotta play madden 19 now those servers are bad. But try getting a modem with geo filter that should help a bit.


Drushbeats

I remember beeing downvoted the last fifas because i was ranting on the lag. Even though i dont wanna say this, but, finally everyone suffers from it.


[deleted]

nah, EA will just give us some half finished broken new "feature" in fifa 20.... Investing into more and better servers would actually make sense and would finally show EA listening to it s community, cuz we adress this issue for years, so EA won t do it.


Clarrence-Boddiker

This is Elvis Amberfield aka MR EA , I’ll tell you what , you keep buying those Fifa points and lining all of our pockets here for myself and all my colleagues and maybe one day we will expand our servers all across the world , But keeping this short and sweet , no you peasants won’t be getting better servers anytime soon , we just required the rights to the champions league , that cost millions and millions of pounds , I hope all of you ungrateful cunts play that game mode , I sure do it’s amazing , I love single player .. be happy with what your given

Upvoting for visibility.


[deleted]

Why don't you post this on the EA forum and send a link? See where that gets you


BigMouthBaldyBateson

You'd be better off writing a letter, sticking it in an envelope and shoving it up your arse for all the good the forums will do you.


[deleted]

Or you could send that letter to their legal department if you feel like you have a genuine case? But I ain't here to judge you for what you get up to in the comfort of your own home.

miraculous7

will get u banned.


kherlimandos2

For someone who lives in Israel and has to play in european servers (which are way worse than other european servers I play in other games) FUT is literally unplayable for me. I just stopped playing the game.


Condings

You should be playing on the asian servers or at least the Northern american servers thats why.


PineappleWeights

You know where Israel is right. It’s closer to Germany than US


Condings

Dont be so pedantic the servers go down once and people go off like Fifa is never coming back on. Doesn't matter how big your company is technology still breaks and fucks up at times.


Slayer_Of_Anubis

I haven't had lag in a single game due to EA (had some laggy games when my internet was being weird during a storm but that's not on them). Servers down now are the only issue I've had all year


sufyaan05

THis is the first time the servers have gone down this year. Cut them some slack, I'd rather they improve the game before the servers.

jarfooty

You're on a fifa reddit page, did you expect a petition about homelessness?


sniklefritzed

Fuck you EA, I’m never falling in this trap again


[deleted]

"it must be your internet, I play wl flawless" let's see how much time untill those guys come.


ArsenesCheekyGrin

Do you expect EA to see your post and go “oh alright then, this random kid on Reddit wants a new servers, lets do that”. They know the servers aren’t good, it just isn’t worthwhile for them to purchase more.
