What the hell? It's like ice skating.

Is this a known phenomena? I've never seen this before. All twenty players play like they have 999 agility, dribbling and pace. It's more like NHL 95 than FIFA.

Great novelty for the first few minutes then boring and unplayable very quickly.

This is playing normal seasons and an online single match by the way, both with me as the host and earlier after I played some guy who hosted when it started as far as I'm aware.

I've reset the router, same thing afterwards.

Anyone else had this occur?

    It seems to happen when they turn the sliders up to increase the speed of the game... likely to fight the general lag plaguing the game, even the menus, at the moment. gameplay is generally trash as it is totally inconsistent.

    No I mean literally both teams, all players, like the game is playing in fast forward.

    Seriously. Either I've somehow dropped a couple grams of speed without noticing it or the game is borked.

    But nobody else seems to be acknowledging or mentioning it.

    I don't get it.

    Thank God, someone else.

    I'm 100% convinced I'm not going insane. It's like super, super arcade mode. I know FUT is always a bit fast paced but this is next level.

    Alejandro Gomez being fast, one thing. Lucas Biglia sprinting like a 99 pace and agility monster straight through the opposition? Something is wrong.

    its the settings Slow/Normal/Fast game speeds, its randomly chosen for each games, fast game speed + great connection for both players and every thing is smooth 99 attributes like, with input delay you hardly notice the difference between Slow/Normal/Fast speeds

    Game physics felt really fkd for me like the ball bouncing off my players,players taking really bad touches etc.. I surely know it wasn't my internet coz a mate I was talking to was facing the same issue.

    I'm not playing until it calms down, it's unplayable.

    Obviously I wouldn't want ridiculous lag either but this is a terrible compromise.

    If I wanted to play a hockey or a basketball game I would, this is mad. It's football on adhd.

    EA are thicker than pig excrement - even some games against the AI feel like Bambi on Ice! Totally unrealistic trash. They need to stop this right now or I am so many others won't buy FiFA 18...

    Seemed to be fixed today after the maintenance last night and now it's just started again in my last game.

    Ugh. Seriously? Impossible to defend when you only have to nudge the controller and your defender goes diving ten feet in any direction.

    Come on ffs.
