What difference does it make being home or away?!

HelloDearie

Seriously? Someone enlighten me, as I genuinely do not see any difference. Sick of people backing out repeatedly in WL. I just play irrespective of whether I am home or away.

Is it just placebo or what?

It's all in the head of the kids and child minded adults that play this game. I'm sure that doesn't matter. But if a popular YouTube dude says something, a bunch of sheeps follow him.

I dunno, I'm normally the first to suggest everything is in people's heads but since the last patch that altered the net code, I definitely started to notice more input lag in games where I was drawn away.

It could well be confirmation bias or just coincidence but I'm not exactly 100% convinced.

Whilst their severs are never great, this is definitely the worst FIFA in recent memory for connection. I imagine everyone on rivals instead of peer to peer divisions doesn't help them.

Should be none, but it's also a way for people to cherry pick games.

My personal experience is the opposite. There used to be a noticeable increase in delay when you're "away", but now they're both the same to me.

Most if not all pros play at home so less chance of facing a pro if you play at home. It's stupid as you shouldn't be able to cherry pick and EA should have fixed this already

Because good players avoid playing away.

I would imagine this is something to do with the quality of our connections.

The patch wasn't a "fix" as such it was just a change in how the game attempts to compensate for one player having much higher ping than the other.

Players with naturally higher latency probably experienced a much different change after the patch than those with much less.

I'm on fibre but barely, I've got a pretty awful BT Infinity line that manages about 50 if I'm lucky. Plus the usual potato of a router they send by default.

Nothing still risk of delay either way

Its just kids following pro players it makes no difference to me.
